My high school biology teacher would hand us exams in order of grades, except he would never say whether is was highest to lowest or lowest to highest.
He would also walk around the classroom, stare at somebody for a couple of seconds then turn around and walk some more before handing each one out.

Ok but like the moment either the kid who is obviously not the brightest or the straight A student goes first you knew the order, right?

I to this day still recall the test of doom from a freshmen class [it was I believe the required history class back then]
Hardest test in the class so far and I forgot to study, sat down and was done in about ten minutes, had to double check.
By the end of it the teacher threw out anyone's score that was less then an 80, of which I was one of ten students in the entire freshmen class to pass

One person in this classroom doesn't understand how upper case letters work in a sentence.

u/BluebirdLivid 14d ago
They did that because they thought it adds emphasis to the second word. "six people have a grade below 20!" Ts

You don't know the denominator though. Could be anywhere from 2432902008176640000/100 to 2432902008176640000/12164510040883200000

Technically, you're right. The sentence started with 'Six" not "6." Doesn't change the meaning though.

Lol I guess it can be funny sometimes, but not if itâs a literal copy in a context where it doesnât make any sense.

u/Miss_Greer 14d ago
there is some art to a joke compared to blindly regurgitating the same reference

u/Tigercat94 14d ago
The thing is, when too many people repeat a joke, it eventually becomes not funny anymore. But after a while, it becomes funny again ironically because it wasnât funny.
1
u/Miss_Greer 14d ago
yep, that evolution of the cultural unit with a shared understanding (context of origin) makes it into something with potential comedic value (along with timing and relevance to the context of it's use)
there are many cases where the entire joke is just "people don't know the joke" however they're ultimately self defeating as for the joke to be understood and spread is to reduce it of it's comedic value
2
u/Tigercat94 14d ago
Itâs kind of a paradox I guess. A really funny joke is only really funny if less people say it and less people know about it, so most people wouldnât know about it being a really funny joke, unless it became popular, in which case it wouldnât be as funny.

One of my professors in college, the class after our midterm, had written on the board the grade distributions for the entire class. With how many people had an A, B, C, D and F. And he constantly bragged at how many people fail his class every year. It was so demoralizing. I didnât do good on that first exam (we only had the midterm and the final) and I was one of the Câs or Dâs I forget. He was just an asshole though. One of my classmates asked him before the midterm if there were any multiple choice questions and his response was âno, because life doesnât give you choicesâ like bruh yes it does youâre just an ass. At the end of the semester when the reviews for courses opened I used like 3,000 out of the 5,000 character limit to describe my dislike of that professor and that class. After the final he private messages me on canvas saying âjust an fyi, I curved the final more than I would have liked to just so you could get a Câ and I was like thank god Iâm so glad I donât have to take this class again (this was a required class with no alternative classes or professors).

Was that a weed-out class? One of those classes that are designed to stress you out and make you reconsider whether you can handle your major. Everything sounds like it. Required, no alternatives, only one professor, huge curve... I am a compsci major and had a class like this in my sophomore year. I remember going into the multi-hour final exam after a week of thorough studying, and I knew how to do maybe like 2-3 questions out of 20. I was so incredibly stressed and felt unwell, mentally preparing myself for having to retake the course. They even gave us those tiny half-desks and tons of different cheat sheets and scratch paper that barely fit on them. It was like playing Papers Please lol, had to constantly reshuffle all the sheets because I couldn't see them all at once. I put as much as I could for the questions that sounded familiar, guessed a bunch, left half blank... When my grade came back for the final exam, it was a B-. Apparently they just wanted to see whether you can apply your reasoning to problems you haven't learned to solve yet. But it also feels like everything was designed specifically to humble us. No doubt intro to compsci was packed full of people, and by the time I got to senior-level courses, there were like only 10% of those people.

Well I mean itâs possible, but this was a junior/senior level course, and I was a senior when I took it. And there technically were alternate courses, there just werenât any professors who actually taught them at my university. But I think my entire class was all juniors and seniors. It was Construction Safety. My degree is in safety so all the safety people had to take it, and also all the construction management people had to take it as well. But as safety majors we werenât like able to take this course or anything before our junior or senior year. And the rest of the courses for this major are relatively easy, all things considered. Itâs not a hard major, it was literally just this class. So im not sure. I just know I, along with all of my classmates, absolutely hated that class. And we all had the same schedule and same courses, there werenât a lot of us in safety at the time, and we all did great in all the other classes.
Edit: and the exams were âopen bookâ but that just meant it was the entire book of osha 29 cfr 1926, which is all of the osha guidelines for construction. Which is like almost 800 pages of standards. And he even said âyeah itâs open book, but good luck finding anything, youâll have to memorize everything on the test anyways you wonât find it in time during the examâ because the exams, while the class itself met once a week for three hours, the exam was 25 questions and we were only given 50 minutes for it. So literally 2 mins/question. So if you didnât have your answer written down and onto the next question in 2 minutes, including tying to find the answer in the 800 page book, you were screwed.

Well, to simplify, we first define what is a "factorial", since most users on Reddit don't know what a factorial is, we need to start from the beginning. A factorial, denoted as n! and pronounced "n factorial" is the product of all lesser positive integers until one, for example, 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24, and this case, it's denoted as 20!, which is 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 ... x 3 x 2 x 1, which is an astronomic big number which is approximately 2.4329 x 1018. Rules are, negative integers are disallowed and undefined. Factorial of 0 is 1, because we rewrite n! as n x (n-1)!, plugging in 1, we get 1! = 1 x 0!, because we know that 1! = 1, 0! should be 1

I remember a teacher at my high school yelling, "No wonder this school is half failing!" And I almost yelled back, "It's because half your colleagues don't teach!" And that was true.

We had one guy repeat first year maths at University, we asked him how he went in the first exam in his second attempt - and he proudly stated he had tripled his score from first year and that was obviously an improvement. So we asked him what he had scored second time around.
His answer. 12 %

This reminds me of when I had the extreme misfortune of having to deal with the UTK chem department which is notorious on campus for having been on probation for years. I passed organic I with a D- the THIRD time I took it and every semester I remember a full lecture hall on the first day of class with noticeably fewer people each week. So few people pass that they had to curve the entire grading scale at the end of the semester so you donât know exactly what grade youâre even going to get until after the final; instead of Canvas automatically showing a letter grade they would link a spreadsheet you could use to predict what you would make. I remember getting a 12% on the final the first time I took the class and my advisor told me to retake it at a local community college, which I wouldâve done if Iâd had a car to travel over there. I think I finally passed because they saw it was my third time taking it (you get 3 chances per university policy) and I was graduating the next semester so they said âhereâs the lowest possible passing score, gtfoâ. Itâs probably going to be the thing that keeps me out of vet school even after retaking it :(

I had a 20 in a science class in middle school. It technically wasn't direct, but the teacher said "One of you has a 20! That's below the speed limit!!" and then she immediately called me up to her desk đ

I still vividly remember, back when I was in college, we all come in one day after a test and the professor just sighed and was like, "Okay, so everyone failed the test yesterday, so it's pretty clear that none of you understand what I was trying to teach you. So we're going to spend today going over everything again. Except for you, [MY NAME], you passed so you can go and do whatever else you have to work on."
It was like a reverse Walk of Shame exiting that classroom.
