''Some professors really shouldn't teach': Student gets bad grade on midterm because teacher made him rush, cue malicious compliance for the final
Students are not always the primary reason for getting poor grades. Sometimes, it can be stifling extracurricular commitments, overbearing parents, absent parents, a lack of access to proper resources and technology, etc. But sometimes the reason is even simpler. Sometimes, it's just the teacher.
This could be the result of a professor doing a subpar job giving lessons or failing to give students a proper understanding of the course material prior to assessing them. In this case, the professor's mistakes were far less complex. Here, we have a professor who told students they had five minutes left to complete their midterm exam, causing them to rush, when in reality, they had 20 minutes left. That's a big difference, and it wasn't because the professor had some sort of ulterior motive. No, it was simply because she misread the clock.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/ttbmips, who got a bad grade because of the portions of the test he had to rush to complete during those five minutes. When the teacher decided to give potential extra credit to students who implemented a study plan to prepare for the final, OP decided that the only thing he needed to improve his score next time was a watch of his own. His teacher gave him a hard time about this, but in the end, OP made his point, aced the final, and got the extra credit too.
