'He tells me I'm abusing his grading policy': College student knows worst grade will be dropped, only submits title page for next assignment

I mean… He was just following the grading policy! There's a reason why it's there. This college student had been performing well on all the previous assignments for a project and knew that the lowest grade would be dropped as that was what was written explicitly in the syllabus. Because of other upcoming finals, he had to make a tough decision and submit a subpar assignment (by subpar, we mean literally just the title page and a brief summary of the project) in order to prioritize the more difficult assessments.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, and it's clear that the student's actions came across as an insult to the professor. Unfortunately, though, that was the policy and the student even confirmed that this was the case before submitting his incomplete work. Obviously, it's not ideal student behavior, but it's certainly not unwise either. Keep scrolling below to get the full play-by-play! For more, check out these school fails.
