Again, some folks are just not going to let their ignorance get in the way of their hatred.

I agree with Wayne. Heck one course's rules were as follows (and I'm not kidding......this is the beloved and legendary capstone Accounting class given to graduating Accounting seniors at Gonzaga University....whose students have something like an unbelievable 80% pass rate on the CPA exam):

*Course meets two hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

*Homework will be assigned at each class period, due at the next class period. Homework will comprise 50% of the grade. Homework will be collected once. No prior warning as to when it will be collected.

*The other 50% of the grade will be the final exam.

*When class starts, the door is closed. The door remains closed until class is adjourned.

*Students may not take notes during class (I'm not kidding).

*Students may not ask questions during class, except on the last day of class.

Again, this teacher, Gonzaga's dungareed, cigar-smoking legendary enigma, is the equivalent of John Houseman in The Paper Chase. A brutally tough but much beloved teacher and course.

College can be tougher than real life. Which is good, since real life delivers much more painful lessons. Here, the worst case scenario is that the student has to retake the class.
