Aggressive Whiny Report, May '07

I KNOW you were wondering what the current sitch was with Carla, my token aggressive whiny for not one but two semesters, and I KNOW you'll be quite surprised at the outcome.

Seriously, you should probably sit down.

I thought it would be fun to do this post as a quiz, in keeping with final exam season here. So put on your thinking caps! (Disclaimer: while I would love to take the time to make this all interactive, alas it is not to be... To check your answers, go here. No cheating! Wait til you're done!)

1. Which of my students in 102, after applying her token "you're on my case/woe is me" glare/pout to no avail on Jan. 29 for our first chapter test, then attended class only SIX more times all semester?
A. Aggressive Whiny
B. Someone Else
2. Which of my students in 102 did I have to sign up for her oral interview since she was not in class to sign herself up?
A. Aggressive Whiny
B. Someone Else
3. Which of my students in 102, after not having shown her face for nearly a month, came to class on our review day, thinking it was compo day, only to sit for a second, then realizing that we were reviewing (and in fact had been reviewing for around 20 minutes already) stood up and left without a word?
A. Aggressive Whiny
B. Someone Else
4. Which of my students in 102 then neglected to show up for the real compo day?
A. Aggressive Whiny

5. Which of my students in 102 almost gave me a coronary by actually showing up for her Oral Interview, only to flunk it royally, being unable to answer even the Really Quite Basic First-day-of-French-101 questions I started throwing at her in reaction to her blank stare?
A. Aggressive Whiny
B. Someone Else
6. Which of my students in 102 finally realized she was SOL and should cut her losses, thereby taking mercy on me by not showing up for the final?
A. Aggressive Whiny
B. Someone Else
7. Which of my students in 102 wrote to ask about their grade and, upon reading my detailed response, thanked me for my time and a great semester?
