He sent an email out to the class after last week because he gave a pop quiz in class... He wasn't very happy.
"I gave the Pop Quiz because it became obvious to me that very few, if any, of you are preparing for class. That was proved by the grades from the Pop Quiz. There was one 10 and one 80. All the other grades fell inbetween those two points - mostly on the lower end of the scale. In fact, the average grade on the Pop Quiz was a 45. That is ridiculous."I am glad I wasn't there; I wouldn't have done well on that quiz. I have to say though, if you prove to your students that they can get good grades without reading because you provide them with fully comprehensive study guides and the tests are easy, you can't get mad at them. Most of us are taking several other classes. We have a limited number of hours in our day and can't always read the whole chapter. Of course we don't read in this class, you give us the answers in class or on the study guide. I guess it doesn't matter at this point. If he changes the class next semester like said he plans to, then I feel sorry for the people that waited to take it. This course has the potential to be very difficult. I'm happy with my 88. That means that I got a 91.5% on my final! Woohoo! (98+94+86+88)/4=91.5 We could elect to have our tests averaged for our final grade or take the exam. I will not be taking the final!
Now all I need to do is write the essays for this class. Then business law will be behind me!
