Always go to class. You may think that would be common sense, especially considering in college you are paying for said class, however, it's not always the case. I guess many students (as my Ag Econ friends would say) find their Marginal Utility/Marginal Cost of skipping class is higher than their Marginal Utility/Marginal Cost of attending.
Perhaps it is fortunate for me, and other dedicated students, that there weren’t many people in my American History class today because we got a couple nice little surprises.
At the beginning of class, Dr. Bullion announced we would have no discussion sections this week. Great news for us, but I sure hope that those who didn’t attend have friends who did to let them know. He then announced we were going to have a pop quiz, which may sound like bad news but in actually, I might say it was the highlight of my day.
Honestly, this was the first genuine pop quiz I’ve ever had, so I’ll admit I was right there along with my classmates with their nervous whispers that spread throughout the lecture hall. My nerves were quickly calmed when a TA sitting right in front of Kathryn and I turned around and said that Bullion’s pop quizzes were generally freebie points to reward those who showed up to class.
Let’s see how you do on this college-level quiz:
- What initials did Lyndon B. Johnson commonly go by?
- What did the Ford Motor Company make?
- What was Eisenhower’s nickname?
- The Republican Party’s campaign slogan in 1952 was (fill in the blank) “I Like ________”
It pays to attend class.
