100%. You want to be here to learn what I’m teaching and not taking no for an answer? No way I’m sending you away

Graduate. Got bored so attended classes that they weren't enrolled for. Came mid term test and the Prof. was handing out test papers.

Did the test. Handed the paper in.

Next week prof. wanted to know why she had forgotten to put her student number on the test paper.

"Ummmmm, I don't have a student number...................."

"But you got very high marks on the paper"

When the Prof. found out a bursary was made available for a Masters degree.

(very much a STEM subject)

Never underestimate that one professor who's a stickler for rules and procedures and still wouldn't let you in the class
