He Was Asking For It

Finals week is next week! *grumble,grumble, mumble!* First up is Criminal Law Review. I don't know how to study for this subject! Its partly *bleh!* (I've got enough responsibilities on my shoulder to add this one on, so I'm distributing the burden!)*evil laugh* my fault cause I took this subject for granted (awh...ang mushy ng dating!). Why? Cause the professor was asking to be taken for granted! Owh! I know I sound so baaaddd! But before you pass judgment on me and my wickedness, hear out the reasons why I think (and feel) that the professor was asking to be taken for granted.

1. There's no attendance--With all the subjects, particularly this subject I have with this particularly bad faith professor, and not to mention the Thesis bruhaha that all seniors had to go through, this was definitely the big GO signal for everyone in the class (this was a joint session between the two afternoon classes who happen to have the same professors in all subjects) to cut as often as they want, be it excused or just out of plain laziness to come to class.
2. There's no recitation--Aside from the cut system that is in place to compel students to come to class, WON they like to, recitation is another compulsion that assures the seats in class are filled for it usually makes a third of your grade in a subject. There are professors who dont respect cuts and grades you when you're called and you're absent which equates to a 1 (4 is the highest in our grading system) or 60 if you're really unlucky. So if you've got a professor that belongs to the latter category, then you'd prefer to be present for effort to be in class earns you an additional 10 points. 70 is still a 70 but at least its not a 60.
3. There's only lecture-- A two-hour "accented" lecture in an airconditioned room with mood lights and you esconed in slightly plush upholstered seats = boredom! Rather than be caught snoozing away, wouldnt you want to spend those hours productively?
4. There's supplemental readings--The professor has coined a name for these supplemental readings that, due to privacy issues (mine mostly) I shall not reveal, almsot contain what he said in the lecture. The only drawback is that having these photocopied will definitely burn all your pants' pockets.
5. The class is 6-8, Monday and Thursday--Enough said!

SO now, do you believe (or at least understand) why I say the professor was asking to be "abused"?
