Student Spends More Time Calculating Needed Grade on Final than Actually Studying

By Bizzle Blazer , in Campus Life , at May 8, 2023 Tags: , ,

Timothy Counce, a general engineering major, has spent countless hours shuffling through his syllabi, attempting to calculate what he needs to get on his finals to pass his classes while spending no time studying for said finals.

As Timothy read his syllabi for the first time, he realized how complex grade calculations are and started to regret testing out of college algebra, as he struggled to accurately calculate his own grades.

Timothy chose to perform these calculations to “ease his mind” about studying for finals, instead of actually studying. After successfully determining that he needs a 135% on his physics final, his mind is far from at ease.

Timothy is now met with yet another conflict: to either give up all hope completely or to cram a semester’s worth of material into his brain in a last-ditch effort to remain in academic good standing.
