More from the old school

Nothing new to report, so another post from my last blog. I posted this on January 14, 2005:

So far, no contracts grade yet.

I have heard some rumors about why it’s taking so long. See if you can guess which of the following are actual rumors that I heard and which are made up.

1. Professor Contracts gave too many Ds and Fs. He had a change of heart and decided to bump everyone up so he’s re-grading the exams.
2. Professor Contracts graded them and realized there were too many As because everyone knew so much about Contracts. Now he’s re-thinking his grading scale and lowering the grades.
3. Professor Contracts turned in his exams to the registrar, who rejected them because he didn’t get the curve right (or didn’t curve at all), so he’s re-doing everything.
4. Professor Contracts is taking his time to carefully pour over every word of every exam, including the “challenges” to his multiple choice questions. Only when he has read everyone’s exam at least four or five times will he turn in his grades.
5. Professor Contracts spilled beer on the exams the other night at a certain tavern and bluebook pages are drying on clothespins in his basement.
6. Professor Contracts has better things to do than grade exams. He’ll get around to it one of these days.
