Laugh of the Day, or Maybe Our Entire Era

A professor of music at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga put directions for finding some money ($50) in his syllabus. Not a single student read it, apparently, because by the end of the term it was still there unclaimed. See here. And the title of the post at the link is misleading: he didn’t put clues in the syllabus, but some explicit directions.

My wife, too, has noticed that students don’t read the syllabus, even though there are all kinds of highly-paid administrators demanding that professors put things in there (such as acknowledging that the land on which the campus sits once belonged to others) that are as woke as can be. And they entirely useless since the students don’t look at them. Heh!
