Prospective Student?
I had a thermodynamics prof who wasn't a popular lecturer and would sometimes put students on the spot - especially those who weren't doing that well in class.
This led to quite a few students who miss a class or two or three to miss even more. I would say the class averaged about 60% attendance (about 25 students in the class).
When a classmate brought in a prospective HS? student to class the prof assumed it was one of his frequently missing students. He asked him some thermo related questions. After the guest obviously couldn't answer correctly, the prof started giving him a hard time about not doing the homework or not coming to class ... Not wanting to interrupt (because it was a little intimidating), this went on for several minutes.
When the truth came out, I was embarrased so I can imagine how the prof felt.
Its true
LOL I love it. In one of my classes, when the professor gave the final he said "I am seeing people I have never seen before in my life! I wonder if they took the midterm."
Cutting classes
Math is not my thing and never has been. It might as well be taught in Mandarin Chinese or some extinct dialect. I often cut class out of frustration (and laziness). I had nightmares while in college that it was the night before the final and I had to learn all that stuff in one night. It has been more years than I want to recall, let alone mention, and it took years to stop having that nightmare. Then I went back to grad school, was an exemplary student, finished two Master's degrees with a 3.99 grade average (you guessed it - that one B was in a Math class)but I started having the nightmares again - even though I never cut class. Things stay in the subconcious a LONG time.
