wat? I was not offered $50. (I'm an M2, maybe that's why)
Changes in medical student sounds like a chapter in a 7th graders health book.
We get another $50 if we take it again our 4th year. :chaching:
I think I aced the survey. I was quick as lightning on all the responses.
Is tomorrow a national holiday that my school doesn't know about? 😡
Yeah, I guess they got tired of piling on lectures a few days before the test.

On a side story...
g/f's taking this class where she had a group project worth 15% of their grade (bleh group projects). Professor assigns the project which encompassed their Fall Break (double bleh), so basically they had even less time to do it.
They do the project, and got their grades back. Grading was done on a rubric. They got 10 points off for "not clarifying the title of their project" even though the title of the project was the second line of their video...so yeah. Also apparently, my gf's group got 0/10 on their APA citations because they listed the database internet address instead of the journal's home page internet address. Other than that the citations where correct. So go figure, she's a little peeved that they didn't even get partial credit for it.
Well come to find out, there was another group who actually got a -10/10 on the APA citations. I said, "WTF." as I think it defeats the purpose to have a rubric and then take off more points than what that section was worth. So anyway, that group confronted the teacher later about how it was unfair. She basically told them that they could keep the grade they have or that they can appeal the grade and get their 10 points back, but that she'll file a case of plagiarism against them if they do so (so kind of a blackmail situation).
As far as the plagiarism goes, that group did technically commit plagiarism. They did a poster and turned in a works cited, but their *******es didn't think they needed to cite the data on the poster (go figure). So even though it's plagiarism, it's a case (to me anyway) of inadvertently doing so and would most likely lead to nothing serious as it wasn't an attempt to deceive.
FWIW, this isn't the first time the professor's gone the whole "I'll file plagiarism on you." She's filed plagiarism on an entire class before.
However, that group doesn't want to go through the whole appeals process anyway, because they would have to go though the head of the department and such. And they are all in the process of applying to grad school. So it isn't worth burning bridges.
And that's my story...however boring it might have been.
