Haphazard Musings of a Budding Academic

A little giggle July 24, 2006

So this online stats course that I just finished has a discussion component (not mandatory, but encouraged). It’s basically a bulletin board where you can post questions or answers to others’ questions (“Yeah, that’s what I got” or “Run the such-and-such test and then check out the p-value” and crap like that). There was this one woman in my class that was either:
1) Crazy
2) On crack
3) Both

Case in point: There were 397 posts in the “Assignments” forum. I counted 78 that were NOT made by her. On one particular day, between 8:17 AM and 9:32 AM she made ELEVEN posts in a row (as in consecutive, with no one else responding). She starts up every single day at around 8 and most of her posts are never later than 6 or 7 in the evening. Hey, I understand wanting to do well in a class, but she is just too much.

I maybe posted fewer than 10 times.

I so don’t understand people like her.

ETA: Homegirl MUST be on crack…I did some Googling and found her resume…I’ve never EVER seen something like this (copied directly):

Juris
Doctorate, Expected 2010

· Doctor of Philosophy, Educational Psychology, Expected 2007

· Doctor of Philosophy, Instructional Technology, Expected 2007

· Master of Science in Human Development, Expected 2007

· Master of Arts in Educational Psychology, Expected 2006

· Masters level certification in Early Childhood Special Education, Expected 2005

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

    WHOA. That’s an awful lot of comps she’ll be taking…and some pretty high expectations. I’ve heard of career students, but good Lord! She’s got to be on something.

    -D.

  2. Probably her dealer…I kid, I kid.
