is this a good email to get?

Hi guys,

This email is being sent to a secret select subset of you, those that have demonstrated to me that you are With The Program. I am giving each of you an A in the course and there is no need for you to take the final exam.

If I don't see you, have a great summer.

that's the email i received from one of my engineering profs. I think it is good...i didn't even do the last homework assignment that was due and i don't even have to take the final!

SWEET!!!

could that be a prank? You might want to check it out.

If it´s a prank , the guy behind it is a complete asshole.

 

[rippedtrojan]

came straight from my prof's email. i actually repsonded back asking if it was a april fools joke or something. but i'm positive it's him, writes same way he always does.

a) he;ll want somthing in return. thats always slightly scary

b) email addy's can be faked

c) he may not tell you what he wants until he has you miss the xam ad have you in his grasp

d) how many others got this offer? wont anyone notice you are not in the exam hall? if a fair amount of people got this how will he explain it

if all of this stuff dont happen, it sounds good, rthough id still be suspicious

 

[rippedtrojan]

i checked with my prof and it's true.

i am released from the final and automatically given an A in the class!

why the fuck can't that happen in all my classes??? especially the one's where i might not be doing as well haha.

Lol. That "With The Program" part makes me feel like I am reading something from the Mafia.

 

[danielson]

that is seriously freaky. seriously. make sure he doesnt use it to blackmail you. i know it sounds far fetched but id be wary.....he'd be able to ask you to do all kinds of wierd shit

 

[rippedtrojan]

i don't see what's so freaky about it. he would have nothing to blackmale me with. and also, he's a cool prof, and what he did seems like something he would do. my friend said that who is in his class, but he didn't get released from the final. oops, looks like i let the secret out! he'd be wondering where the hell i was at during the final if he went and i didn't show up, so would have had to tell him at some point.


yeah phatchik, are you "With the Program"?

it's always cool to be "With the Program", hehe

 

[danielson]

not exaclty uni protocol though is it. he putting his neck on the line for students? im just paranoid thats all. dont take it the wrong way

I had a few classes in college that I got an A in and didn't have to take the final. Some teachers just reward you for busting your ass throughout the semester. I wouldn't worry about it.

It's a common practice used by profs to even out the curve somewhat. You must have blown away most of your exams before this.
