Students who bunked lectures during Homeopathy degree secure better marks than full attendees
http://2w6kxc22rrr9mabqt1mglgait6.wp...ptop-small.jpg The University of Basingstoke has confirmed that the less often students turned up for classes on its new Homeopathy degree course, the higher the mark they got.
The finding comes following a research study which tracked the attendance of students who attended fewer and fewer lectures and seminars over the course of the year.
Course leader Jennie Robson said, “We first became aware of the phenomenon when we realised that we hadn’t actually seen the top scoring students in the summer term dissertation since Christmas.
“Although we’d hoped that our intensive, continuous teaching methods were the best way to progress on the course, it appears that less face-to-face contact may, in fact, be the secret to effective study on this course.
“The guy who got the best mark of all students who graduated didn’t attend a single lecture, as far as we can tell he merely walked passed a classroom during a briefing on the principles of homeopathic dilution. ;D
“And his success certainly came as a surprise to the homeopathy lecturers here, I can tell you.”
Tom Gilbert, one of the absentee students who did unexpectedly well, told us, “The lectures were so dull that after a few weeks myself and few mates decided to hang out in the pub instead of going into Uni.
“We then found out that you can actually pay someone to write your dissertation, so we just buggered off to Bali, logged into our emails once a week and used our student loans to buy exotic drinks.”

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget
