@IwillKillYourCereal: It depends. Would you say any of the things she said? :)

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@commcollprof I got a 4.0 my first semester :)

I only took science and math courses though, so I didn't need to write that many papers. Hopefully when I need to take my writing class, I'll pay attention to the formatting rules and avoid Tiffany's fate.

[IwillKillYourCereal]

Ugh oh. I got all A's on my high school research papers as well! Does that mean that I'll end up like Tiffany? D:

@IwillKillYourCereal that's a dumbass question... so yes :D lol

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@Nihilanthe Thanks for believing in me :) lol

@ripperduck

Sounds like something that happened to one of my colleagues!

[commcollprof]

@Gnickk

Yes. About 95% of the comments are things students have actually said to me.

[Gnickk]

Is this based on things that students really said?

[ripperduck]

When I was tutoring, I had a student at Citrus College. She had no idea what to do about College Algebra. I asked if she had read her textbook and she told me that she never read her textbook, she never read books. I told her that she had to at least read the book and she stormed away crying. That chick was an idiot and she had no business being in college, even at community college.

The line, "I'm here to stay on my parent's insurance," is accurate.

Sadly, these sorts of things don't just apply to CC students
