Oreo Bribes

I was looking through the syllabus for my insanely difficult Buisness Law class a couple days before the final, and I found a couple things I thought you might enjoy. *snicker*

The tests really are bad and ugly but mostly fair. No logical correlation has been discovered between grades in this class and a student's self-worth. You may be what you eat, but you are not your grade in this class. Bad things happen to good people. You may not get the validation you want from your tests' scores. You may still be a good person.
Getting an "A" in this class is not easy. It may even require reading the book (don't wait for the movie). Getting a "B" requires a consistent effort and a little bit of good luck. It too may require reading the book. Getting an "E" requires no effort at all or all the bad luck you can marshal. For an "E", you do not have to read the book, but you still might want to look at the pictures.
You will not (repeat not) be an attorney, nor will you be almost as good as one at the end of the class.
A good rule of thumb is, "If it is more money or property than you can afford to lose or it is more time than you want to spend in jail, it is time to consult with competent professional advisors. Their advice may sometimes be expensive but not as expensive as uninformed stupidity.
Phone and Pager policy:
  1. If a cell phone or "the like" goes off in class, then the student will be executed on the spot or at least receive a glare. The "Donut Exception" may apply. Check with your instructor.
Cheating includes but is not limited to the following:
  1. Oreo cookies or chocolate are not considered a bribe only an incentive.

Oh dear.

I REALLY wish I had seen this at the beginning of the semester! haha!
