Dear Student,
Turning up to your (early) exam with a box of chocolates for the lecturer, and then complimenting her on her outfit is just a little too obvious.
I appreciate your effort, but you need to work on subtlety.
I'll enjoy the chocolates, though.
Love and low grades,
StyleyGeek.

ReplyDeleteI never got chocolates from any of my students. Must be why I left academia. At least mining companies give me free beer relatively often.
Just a little.
ReplyDeleteI did have one of my students bring his new puppy to class becuase he know how much I love puppies.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, Seeking Solace. It's if he did it on the day of the exam that you might be suspicious :)
ReplyDeleteI would NEVER bring food to class on exam day. Everybody knows that food should be brought the class preceding the exam, so that the professor has time to make up a nice easy extra credit question just for the person who brought the donuts.
ReplyDeleteAnd always bring enough for the whole class so that it doesn't look so kiss-ass.
Wow. That's an approach really lacking in subtlety. And they obviously thought you were cheap (unless it was a reaaaaally big box).
