    His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:

    Dear Michael,

    Every year I attempt to boost my students' final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

    There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It's as if you didn't look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

    May God have mercy on your soul.

    Sincerely,
    Professor William Turner

    P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
    B is the new C

    As I quote my 11th grade AP history professor. If you can get everyone one wrong on a multiple choice test, I will give you an A+ on the test. You really have to know your stuff to get 100% wrong.

    My spidey sense is telling me to snope this too-good-to-be-true story. Hold as research is compiled.

    [elevator music]............[/elevator music]

    Hmmm. Nothing there yet, but then again, the date on that scantron is only 10 days ago. Also, notice that only one of the multiple exam legends is actually true, the rest bing silly and clever stories like the one above.

    Let's see if it ever hits snopes.

    If it's true, at least the professor has a sense of humor.

    When I was in college, we had a class on physical therapy modalities. The class was not that hard, but we went to take this test and it was WAY out there. Man, we had not even thought of half of the things that were on the test. The conditions the doctor gave us were not even treatable with the modalities we were going over. Well, the test had a bunch of stations. Each station had a condition/patient. The stations all had different modalites with the settings at various levels and positions. Basically, we had to say if the setting was true of false. There were about 10 settings at each station. If it was false, we had to put the correct answer. I was like WTF? None of this makes any sense. So...I put true on EVERY answer. I ended up getting the highest grade in the class!

    ROFFLES!

    It makes me wonder if he even glanced at the test. If you're going to christmas tree it, at least look at it and come up with a strategy. Who asked me though? I'm the queen of bsing tests and passing. :D

    Glad everyone enjoyed it. Thought it was appropriate coming to an end to the final season or middle of some others.

    +1 whenever I'm guessing I at least read the question in the off chance that it's the one thing i remember from class. Doesn't hurt to write little notes to the professor either, in case they do have a sense of humor.

    I had an Econ. professor say that if no one showed up for the exam, then she'll be forced to curve the test, thus resulting in everyone getting 100%. She warned though that someone will always show up no matter what. In a class of 75 people, we didn't dare try to flirt with a 0/100.

    I searched www.ratemyprofessor.com and I found:

    Looks like the UC Berkeley professor would be the one. Here's some of his ratings:

    One of the comments from RMP... "His tests are easy" LOL!!! NOT FOR EVERYONE!! Too funny.

    How about the one from the student that said she fantasized about him.

    I had one teacher that requested that we give him "the pepper" when giving him a review on RMP. He wasn't hot, but had a great personality. I live and breathe off of that site when choosing courses.
