BERKELEY, Calif. — Cal Junior Ruby Cornejo rescinded her reprimands this Thursday after realizing that her political science professor may actually be kind of cool.
“I’ll admit, I’ve definitely talked mad shit about him to my friends, but he’s really starting to grow on me,” Cornejo explained. “On the first day of class he made us popcorn read the syllabus while he went to the bathroom, so excuse me for assuming he was just another past-his-prime professor that’s been tenured since the Cold War, but all signs pointed to that being the case.”
Cornejo’s classmate, Rico Martins, expressed similar remorse over his hasty initial opinions.
“I think I judged him too soon,” Martins admitted. “He’s definitely got some quirks, but last Tuesday he responded to my email asking for an extension on the reading response with, ‘I haven’t read that shit either lmfao,’ so he’s cool with me.”
Unfazed by the recent shift in his students’ attitudes, Professor Lowe Keebased revealed that he is used to making bad first impressions.
“This always happens,” remarked Professor Keebased. “My Rate My Professors score drops off a cliff during the first two weeks, stabilizes during the third, and begins a steady upward climb throughout the remainder of the semester as people start realizing that I’m not a complete dick. By the time the last week comes around, I’m getting emails left and right from students telling me that I changed what they want to do with their life. Crazy what a bunch of nerds will do when you’re lenient on deadlines and cancel a quiz every now and then.”
Shortly before press time, Professor Keebased released a bCourses announcement letting students know that the midterm would be take-home, multiple choice, and Sent from my iPhone.
