When I was in college we had a Business Strategy course that was well known as a “GPA destroyer.” It was a senior level class that was well known as the most difficult course in our major. It was the one of few classes taught by this particular professor who was known as kind of a jerk.

I managed to avoid him in all of my lower level courses. At the end of my junior year, I found a similar course to “Strategies” at a local state college that I could take over the summer. A buddy and I went to the department head and got permission to take this course. For some odd reason, it was approved.

At the end of my senior year we had a “dinner” for the graduates in my major. This jerk professor approached me and asked who I was…stating that he did not remember me in any of his classes, especially is Strategies class. I told hm that my strategy was to avoid taking his class—something I had planned for two years before my senior year.

He laughed and said that was probably the best strategy he had heard in a while.

Sometimes professors who “teach everyone” are the professors you want to avoid. This story sounds like one of those.

Obama’s birth certificate is now sealed forever in Hawaiian Archives. Approved by republican governor Linda Lingle. We’ll never know.

Sounds like my statistical analysis prof. Nobody ever got an A, most people that passed got a C and half the class flunked.
