Hard Hitting, No-Nonsense Professor Helpless in Face of Email Without Section Number

This Monday, Texas A&M University lecturer Randall Walterson was blindsided by an email he received from a student who neglected to include their section number in the correspondence. Walterson claims that, without a section number, there is no way to authenticate that the email was actually sent by one of his students, so he has marked it as spam and blocked the sender to avoid further risk.

“I have never been so disrespected in all my 28 years of teaching,” Walterson said to his management course as a student IT worker behind him opened his PowerPoint lecture for him. “Either some hacker was trying to con me, or one of you failed to let me know your UIN and section number, and, frankly, I’m not sure which is worse.”

Walterson is notorious for being hard on his students in order to “prepare them for the real world.” Despite this, many of his students believe his preaching contradicts his inability to do many of the basic tasks expected of an educator of his position.

According to a student claiming to be the sender, the email only requested clarification on if students would be expected to bring scantrons to the final exam. The student has requested to remain anonymous at this time to avoid becoming the target of their professor’s tirades.
