The Background
The pre-medical program at Washington University is a first class
pain in the ass. Not only is the curriculum extremely
hard, but the administration is not averse to placing pre-med
students with the worst possible teachers. Case and point,
Vlad Birman, assigned to teach the second half of Organic
Chemistry. While Professor Birman (“Vlad”) may be a genius
in the lab, he is a nincompoop in the classroom. He lacks the
ability to teach the material to stunning degrees, shuns
communication with students, has a thick accent, and has
never—ever—given an “A” grade to a student. This pre-med
student decided that enough was enough. Before dropping the
class, though, he decided to have a little fun with the last test.
What you are about to see is a real, graded exam from the
Chemistry 252 class at Washington University. No bullshit.
the only funny part was when the TA corrected the name of the poet. Other than that, it was pretty dumb. I am willing to bet he DID NOT finish school… def not pre med…
Reminds me of the first time I took thermo. I got a 9 on the final. Yes, single digits. I knew I was going to repeat the class, but I still tried to take the exam. I was so pissed because I was actually considering doing it in crayon but decided not to. Failing that class was the best thing I ever did. I retook thermo with Dr. Rae and actually learned the material and got an A.
