I would fail the fucker out of principle.

Then post the email on blackboard for the entire school to see.

I would mark that as if it were coursework and add the inevitable F-type grade to his weighting.

Lol

At least he cares enough to ask...I guess?

College isn't for everyone...

Also how can someone who writes like that be getting a C (presumably) in your friend's class?

I know someone that got a C in physical chemistry (thermodynamics, calculus) without understanding how to covert cm^3 to mm^3. When you go to an incredibly mediocre school where everyone has old exams which are identical to new ones, anyone can pass.

I don't think he is even at a C.

An idiot who writes an e-mail like that should never have been able to graduate high school, much less go to college.

I dont wanna go on a rant about college students (because I do that at least once a week already) but the above email is not at all surprising to me.
Their grammar is so fucked up I actually feel sorry for them. It stopped being funny a long time ago, now its just scary.

he's lookin to suck dick.

Yep. He wants to suck his way to a B.

Somebody here please spoof that email account and pretend to be the professor....tell him he can get a B-, but he has to "earn it."

This could get good...

This thread goes so well with all the recent threads stating how college degrees are worthless.

It's fucking shameful.

Was this a UC?

I don't get it...just use spell check and it will look passable.

Thats my fucking point!

The dumb lazy fucktards are too spoiled. They dont even have the good sense to pretend they give a shit anymore. At least lie or make up a good story and fix your grammar!
Sorry sons of bitches!

Ugh, that is how the kids write on gaming forums. I used to think it was done on purpose and just as texting shorthand, but some of these just make the person look retarded.
