Email Chain with Advisor Devolves Into Shameless Begging

Tuesday afternoon, following dozens of emails trying to force request into a differential equations class with a better grade distribution, junior industrial engineering major Samantha Krohnenberg began sending her advisor desperate pleas for cooperation.

The talks started on a high note Monday with advisor Jack Sholter agreeing to submit the request on behalf of Krohnenberg, however, things took a turn for the worse when Krohnenberg revealed her motives for the course change.

“These kids just want to be put in the easy classes,” Sholter said. “You’re here for an education. Just take the difficult courses like everyone else, online over the summer at a local college of your choice.”

Negotiations stalled on Wednesday when Sholter stopped replying to emails, instead opting for an automatic “out of office” reply.
