So a bit of background: I'm in an online cohort program. We meet once a month to do our hands-on lab work and exams. The students are from all over the state (and a couple out-of-state who fly in), so we have the cohort split into two lab sites: one in the northern part of the state and one in the south. The north one is the actual college the program is based out of and the south one borrows a site from another college. Each one gets their own lab instructor. I go to the north one, so our lab instructor is actually the online instructor for this particular course overall. The south campus has a separate instructor teach their labs and proctor their exams.
We have an insane schedule this quarter with our first exam just two weeks in, and apparently a lot of the south campus students were freaking out about the exam. But it's okay; we get a very extensive study guide! This instructor has a habit of writing exams that look very, very similar to the study guide. If she made it any more similar, she'd just be handing us the exam ahead of time.
Today in lab our instructor told us that someone from the south campus (who remained anonymous, but knowing some of the more neurotic ones there I have a couple guesses) filled out the study guide and it came out to 14 pages.
Apparently, this student had the gall to email her 14 pages study guide to the teacher and asked her to condense it.
We're in college. We're adults. We've been in this program for a year now. Why would someone do that? We should be thankful enough that we even get a comprehensive study guide in the first place!
The teacher said she didn't even know how to respond to it. We suggested narrowing the margins and shrinking the font size. Because, come on now.
