Seriously, who spend 40 minutes on a single EASY homework problem the class before the final, and blames the class for sucking at the test which has nothing to do with what he taught. Then he states that we can go over our grades when he comes back from vacation in January, a month after grades are closed… jackass. I don’t even care about Babson grade deflation or w/e, but at least have professor who can teach and grade fairly, not make tests unfairly hard or take off points (in strategy) for the most innane things just to make the grading policy of a B- average.
