10 College Urban Legends

<p>Yah, hate to burst all your bubbles, but those wouldn't get A's. They'd get failing marks. Philosophy isn't as easy as everyone thinks ;)</p>

<p>haha unfortunately arbiter is probably correct on that one</p>

<p>What about the one where if your room mate does/commits suicide you get an automatic 4.0 for the semester...</p>

<p>I've heard one where a question on the Harvard app says to describe "courage" in as few words as possible. A student put "Go Yale" and got in.</p>

<p>would writing things like "this is courage" really work in a philosophy class?</p>

<p>^Most likely, no.</p>

<p>The last question of our final exam last year in English was "what is the name of the woman who mops the floors of this room every day?" I got it right!</p>

<p>I would have just put "consuela"</p>

<p>Ive heard a story that a kid wrote that and the professor failed him and wrote "no thats stupidity."</p>

<p>My psych prof told us about #3 and #4. Ha.</p>

<p>ive never heard any of those before except number 7. but yeah i doubt any professor would give people credit for BS answers. especially on a final? maybe a test...</p>
