We had a select few classes where a 95 and up was an A, but it was stated clearly from the beginning of the semester. It still bothered me though. For example, my Communications Law class was very interesting, but the teacher was super strict. One of those walk around, call on strangers, random pop quizzes on the reading types of teachers. His scale was like that, but no one else's in the journalism school was. I always thought it was totally unfair for a prof to just decide that. Either make that the standard for all classes within the journalism school or make them follow the university's scale. I ended up with a C+ in the class, which I was lucky to get. It sucked because I loved the material, it was just one of those classes where everything was a struggle.
He also let you exempt the final if you had an A, but didn't tell you until RIGHT BEFORE the final. Like sitting in the class with your pencil ready. Also, my final for that class happened to fall on a Monday, when the rest of exam week was that previous Mon - Fri. The very last final exam slot the school offered. Literally NO ONE was left on campus but the select few with a class in this odd time slot. He called out the names of everyone with an A (only like 5 people out of 100) and told them they were free to go. THEY LITERALLY COULD HAVE HAD AN ENTIRE EXTRA WEEKEND WITH THEIR FAMILIES. I would have been so annoyed. But I also would have known I had an A so I guess it's a tradeoff.

Good Lord this sounds like a strange teacher.
See I don't think individual profs should be able to decide this sort of thing. If there are going to be pop quizzes for one class there have to be pop quizzes for all classes. I do think some professors get a bit bored/sadistic/both and start doing crazy things that make life difficult for us. I had an anatomy professor who would start class precisely at 9am, when at my school classes are supposed to start five minutes past the hour to give students time to change rooms. If you came at, say, 9:02, he would ask you to leave and you'd be marked absent for the class. So kids failed because they didn't get the minimum required attendance, even though by the college's rules they were perfectly on time. Crazy dude.
I feel like it would be simultaneously awesome and horrifying to be told just before the final that you didn't have to sit it. On one hand you don't have to sit a final... On the other hand, you've done all this work, and have been stuck on campus, for nothing...

I need your guys' help! For a group project we have to come up with a new invention or an improvement for a current product. I can not think of anything creative and my group can't either.
So does anyone have any ideas or a product you wish existed??

Can you improve upon a good chunk of the uniforms in the New Uniform thread :p
I remember doing this project once. Totally forgot what my group did. What about an app for malls/amusement parks/casinos that you can access from your smart phone and shows you where in the area you are (like a You Are Here pin point). And also have a tab for information about upcoming events, sales at said mall/wait times for ride at said park/recent winnings at said casino, etc. I'm tired of holding onto maps or waiting to look at those directory kiosks when I could easily open an app on my phone.
ETA: I'm secretly hoping someone designs an app like this for the mall near me. It was expanded a couple years ago and its just too big now. I don't know where anything is anymore and those directories are less than helpful. I feel like it'd be so easy. And you can even send push notifications to their phone once they connect to the WiFi. Someone smarter than me needs to make this happen.

ETA: in one of my classes today, we had a sub (he's super old but he's been in the community forever and I'm pretty sure he used to teach at my school) and he doesn't think twice about us being on our phones, and all we did today was review for a test, so I played Trivia Crack all hour[emoji87] [emoji87]

I've always wanted to invent the washing machine that automatically switches over your laundry to the dryer. Like stackable and drops down into the dryer once it's done. You pre set your settings before and it starts automatically.
If someone steals this idea and makes millions, you better share.

I always complain about needing that to be a thing on the rare days we get rain here in SoCal. I will be so happy if they ever get produced!

This California storm is insane. The winds are insane and caused my fence to break in half. Grateful for the rain though.
