HARVARD SUCKS

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Everybody sucks.

That article is just sad.  Not to mention, it uses 100 paragraphs just to state the little bastards at Sucks are entitled brats.

I had a ChemE professor who taught me a lesson about grading that I remember to this day.  He would give quizzes every other week, with a max score of 10.  On one quiz, I dropped a sign during the calculation.  Everything answer after that point was wrong, even though my methodology was perfect. I got a 6 out of 10. After class I went up to him to argue for a better grade using the argument that I knew what I was doing and I did everything right, I just dropped the sign.  His answer?  "You do that in real life and your plant doesn't work." 

It's not about the grade.  It's about the result.

Thorpe?

Yes indeed.

Yes indeed.

My favorite Thorpe story was embarrassing.  I over studied for one of the prelims. We had old tests to look at and there was one question I studied and studied but couldn't understand the solution.

That damn question was repeated on our test and I answered it correctly.  I received a good grade but felt like crap because I didn't understand that one effing question.

To this day I feel guilt.  Ray's long gone but his misplaced esteem for me that week still haunts.

I've got many Thorpe stories.  In all of them, he comes off as one of the most "human" of all my professors.

Yes. But it bears repeating. Frequently.

Harvard faculty vote to put a cap on the number of A's given out

Students overwhelmingly disapproved of the proposal. Nearly 85 percent of respondents to a February survey administered by the Harvard Undergraduate Association said they disapproved of the proposal

How many of these students will use the Portal to make their way to Quinnipiac?

Next stop on the road to Cambridge.

It would be uncouth to suggest that Bradford P. Worthington IV was not succeeding academically on his own merits.

My kid has almost all online finals. He doesn't even stay in town for finals week. I doubt many of those are proctored. It's like term papers. Sure, you might have good reason to suspect that an LLM had a heavy hand in writing one, but how many professors really want to go through the process of formally calling that out in the day and age of parents calling up the university when anything goes wrong with their child's experience?

Weird shit. I can't remember taking a test that was UNproctored in college. And not even just law school either - community college proctored its tests, so did my other college.
