That is such a cop out, a total refusal to take responsibility for one's own actions.

No. 60% of your class is apparently too stupid to get help or study.

I would disagree with this.

Routinely my class averages are sub 50% and are EXTREMELY bell curved.

I think profs make exams way to hard, but thats my opinion.

There's no such thing as an exam that's too hard as long as it covers the course material. Kids expect tests to be too easy. You're not in high school anymore.

Sure you can make an essay too hard.

On my last pols exam there were 4 essays with no way for the kids to finish writing for all of the topics in time.

We're not talking about just math here, if it was math I understand what your saying.

But it's not quite that simple.

Wow, the king of whiny babies defending another equally whiny little bitch. Imagine that!

So you're saying there's no such thing as a bad teacher?

Either way, it's the students' fault that they failed. Over the course of a semester, you figure out, rather quickly actually, what to anticipate from the teacher. OP is pissed because he didn't fulfill the teacher's expectations that students would know all of the material they covered in class and not just the stuff they thought they'd need to know/need to know in the real world.

Most students are retarded; I'm a college student and other peoples' stupidity and expectation that classes should be easier pisses me off. Tools like the OP have really curbed my thirst for knowledge by causing all of my classes to be dumbed down for morons.

The only reason that people should fail their classes (if they aren't stupid/lazy) is if a professor grades by the bell curve, wherein only x amount of people CAN get an 'A,' y amount of people get a 'B,' etc. I can understand failing in that circumstance because everybody in the class could get 90% or above on a test and half of the class would still fail. However, the OP's class isn't like that, is it?

OP: You fail. Try harder.

The answer is to study harder to be on the top %40, or preferably the top 2-5%, or it is simply mean that you should wise up and chose another career.

 
Lol, at least it's not the whole class. And yes, it has happened before (at least at UofT CSC). Deal with it. There is nothing that says a certain percentage of students have to pass. My first year CSC course (requirement before advancing to 2nd year) had 80% of people not make it to the final. As in only 20% of the initial students actually made it to the final exam.

This explains your failure at stats. You don't even understand English.

Please note in university you are not taught anything. You attend the lecture if you want to hear a little more info on the material from the horse's mouth. You gotta learn the thing yourself. TAs are in fact your best source for help.
