When A Student Cannot Adapt to New Situations

Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

This is hopefully the last mention of Deiv for this term (because I believe he will still be my student in at least one of my classes this new term; I have an idea because I am the person he has to approach for academic advising).

I triple checked all of his papers because of his propensity in my previous classes for meticulously going over all of the problems with the teacher.

That's why out of all of the exams I have corrected, it is only in his that I have also written down all of the answers to those that he has gotten wrong.

This is also because he is one of the few people who still, after all of this time, insists on writing down all of his answers in pencil despite the instructions.

I know at least in one other major engineering subject he has used this to try to get more points by changing his answers after the teacher has returned his paper.

For me at least, it is a source of continuous deductions for him for his flagrant disregard of the rules, until he ever gets obsessive enough to discover it.

This time, I also gave him the warning that if he's going through his papers to look for corrections to try and increase his grade, he won't find any.

Still, he continued, like a serious kid who had put his mind on doing something and doesn't know what to do if events proceed deviating from his plan.

Some questions of his I deflected by saying I don't remember anymore because it was so long ago, and even though he asked for the questionnaire, thankfully he forgot when I got back to the faculty room.

There was another question where he thought the mechanical properties were the topics listed immediately after the start of the chapter, when I told him if he had listened to the lecture, he would have known what I said the real mechanical properties were, only mentioned on the second lecture on the chapter.

Session 1287 is retentive. Class dismissed.
