Would you pay 650$ for an A?

[engineeredout]

Basically I'm in a position where if I pay for a normal summer course at my school (650$) I can register the internship I'm doing which would be an automatic 3 credit A. It would raise my overall .01 points. Worth it?

Depends on your income really. If you're not strapped for cash, than why not? What is the focus of the internship?

Wow I was expecting a story of a professor who accepted bribes for $650. I'm totally let down. Thank you for wasting thirty seconds of my life.

Signed.

I had a psych professor who used to take actual bribes. His favorites were gift cards from Best Buy, pornography, or liquor. My friend and I presented him with all three.

We did absolutely nothing throughout the class. Neither did anyone else. He would sit in front of the chalkboard and basically have a conversation with himself for a couple of hours. He was really into transgendered people as well, and requested that my friend and I go to this nightclub and take photos and interview a headline act with a transvestite. We had to skip class to do this, of course. It was awesome.

.

Did he get you drunk, take you to best buy and actually watch the pornos at the store with you? If not, I think it's fair to say he was rather self-centered.

Psych professors always seem to be teetering on the brink of sanity as it is.

So...did you at least get an A?

I got one for me, one for my friend, and one for another friend the following semester.

He really had a thing for me. He would call me his Egyptian girl (I am not Egyptian, but he took a liking to my coloring). Of course, I had to deal with his hugs... ew. But whatever.

Engineering; absolutely nothing to do with medicine whatsoever.

This particular semester did send me to my first porn store and nightclub. So, I grew as a person. I'll say that in the interviews.

Ehhh....I retract the comment about him taking you to best buy to watch the movies. What an akward situation that would be...
I remember a high school teacher who used to be wayyy touch-feel oriented with the girls of the school. They all complained about it, oddly enough they didn't mind putting up with it for the grade.

LOL. Watch students come to you 10 years from now, bow down, and kiss your ring- so you can hook them up.

Yes, I do not mind. A hug does not bother me. I remember flirting via email with my trigonometry teacher TO NO AVAIL. But he still wanted to flirt, so I cut him off quick when I realized he wasn't changing my grade.

I had another friend get asked out by her pre-calc teacher. She was 19 at the time, and he obviously in his 40s.

*Shrugs* There are limits, at least for me. But I just thought the psych guy was old and hilarious.

Did you have classes at night for you to skip class and go that nightclub?

 

[SaveThisLabRat]

Yep =) It was a 6:30pm class. We skipped about three of them. Omg, the mid-term was a complete joke. Nobody bought or even knew what the book for the class was, so came time to take the test, it's like a guessing game. I think the average was a 12 out of 50 or 60. He started going off about how monkeys could have done a better job. Jackass!

 

[pianola]

Wow, it's a pretty evenly-divided poll.

I can think of a ton of better things to do with 650 bucks

 

[Orthodoc40]

Do I hear $700???!!

I mean, seriously...

 

[LikeClockWork]

I think there are much better things to spend $650 on. Plus, 0.01 probably isn't going to make or break your app.


(Oh, and good story STLR )
