The 6 Students You Meet in Hell

I am adding one:
7. The entitled grade grubber: You already received extra time on the exam because, "while you are not stupid, you learn differently than everyone else." But that wasn't even enough for you to demonstrate minimal competence. Now you are protesting your D. First, you played nice, telling me that you need a better grade. When I told you I don't care, you promised to take it to the dean. Here is a secret, he doesn't give a f**k either. But you are now on the departmental blacklist, look forward to getting worse grades than you deserve for the next two years retard.

Seriously, #5 has the greatest potential.
A teacher should never underestimate such a student.
He (very few girls are like #5) might have done well on the exam if someone had made him really believe that learning the coursework material is essential to fulfill his curiosity.
Unlike most students who study for exams to get jobs or to impress their parents, type 5 students should feel the real reason to learn the material in and of itself.

I f'ing hate the pautard, with his little f'ing smirks. What, you don't like the fact that Marx isn't on the syllabus? It "figures" that supply slopes upward? Does that bother you, you little smug bastard?
What now? Why the smirk now? Got some f'ing opinion on fixed costs being sunk? Oh, you dont have an opinion on that yet? Whats that? Oh youre waiting for your favorite sociology professor to tell you what your opinion should be on sunk fixed costs? GTFO!

I have #5 in my class every semester. It is a rule that teh student paying the most attention on day 1 is an idiot.
You must be teaching at an ULRM school or some stupidly easy intro course. Paying attention is essential to success. I did that in UG and made sure I got my As without much hassles. And I don't buy this not showing up to class A student. If your problem set is hard enough then reading online solutions shouldnt be easy. In very tough Math course (not talking about piss easy regular RA, something like its honour version), hardest problems are not easily understood by just reading the solutions.

OP probably wasn't talking about the HRM undergread who bothers you in office hours about papers he's read and only pulls off an A- in your course. I think OP was referring to the jackass kid who likes to talk about his reading of Piketty and Krugman and shows through performs sub-25th percentile.

I don't get the hate for the pseudoscholar. It's not his fault he's not at the top of the IQ distribution. At least he's genuinely interested in the material, and respects the class and me.
I much prefer him to the grade-grubbing A student. You know, the one who gets an A by constantly asking you what will be on the test, coming to office hours so you can "double check" her homework, and complaining about any points you deduct on her exam, but is completely uninterested in the material for its own sake.

Or the student that basically wants you to premark their term paper or assignment? But can you just look at my answers so I know if they are correct before I hand them in for the TA to grade?
