What Your College Syllabus Would Look Like If It Were Honest
Indiana-Oberlin University (IOU)
Course Syllabus
Typical Gen-Ed Liberal Arts Course 101
Spring 2016: January 5 – Till Fucking Forever
Course Description
Over the course of the semester, we will take an up-close and in-depth look at the broadest, most mundane aspects of a topic that has nothing to do with your major while expanding the mind through the memorization of key buzzwords like “trigger” and “synergy” and “eudaimonia.” Oh, and you better believe there’s gonna be a fuck-ton of Communication Models, too. So many Communication Models.
Course Objectives
To provide you with severely limited insight into a potential career path through hands-on PowerPoints and YouTube videos.
To offer a personal touch only attainable in a lecture hall full of 500 students.
To leave you as uninspired and clueless as possible, forcing you to take a major you switch out of junior year so the university can milk four more semester of tuition out of your aching teats.
To indoctrinate you into the hive mind of guilt and PC culture with graphs depicting the gender wage gap and unemployment rates of minorities.
To teach you how to analyze the knowledge, skills, attributes, and tools necessary to take the $5,000 course fee and fuck yourself in the face with it.
Grading
For all examinations, students will be graded upon their ability to memorize, regurgitate, and forget.
Essays will be graded in strict accordance with the professor’s political and social opinions.*
*Course Note: If you are a fat girl who writes about the struggles of being a fat girl, you will receive an automatic “A.”
Attendance
Class will meet Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 6 a.m.
Even though all the material can be found on the PowerPoints online, attendance will account for 50 percent of your overall grade (the egomaniac professor has all sorts of eye-opening team-building exercises that are just too important to miss).
Missing more than three classes will result in an automatic “F.”
Class Participation
To receive full class participation credit, students are expected to sit in the front of the room and chime in whenever possible — as long as their beliefs coincide with those of the instructor (see “grading”). Be sure to close your eyes while speaking like a smug turdnugget and include phrases like “per se” or “in a very real sense.”
Location
Class will meet on the opposite side of campus in Room BCDR165342 of Sacagawea Hall, across the bridge that feces-throwing vagrant lives under.
Parking is available to all upperclassmen with blue stickers and green passes who were born in the Year of the Dog according to the Chinese Zodiac.
Code of Ethics
IOU has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to cheating.*
*Test banks, baby!

9 years ago at 11:04 amWell, shit. What do you want us to do now?
9 years ago at 12:37 pmThis is the refreshing, hard-hitting reporting that I come here to see, yet actually see so infrequently.
9 years ago at 11:11 amHigher education today in a nutshell
9 years ago at 11:23 amI laughed, I cried.
9 years ago at 11:28 amGood stuff Boosh
9 years ago at 11:38 amThis is so true, yet half of the professors would deny it and claim to be unbiased when in reality about 60 to 70 percent of biased libtards who praise weak and pathetic SJWs for being losers.. news flash sophomore anthropology professor is you have to say “and thats not socialist” it probably is you fuck
9 years ago at 11:53 amI like to scuba dive.
9 years ago at 12:02 pmIf you’re a white male you’re expected to jump on the hypocritical PC guilt train and cast away conservative ideas for fear of receiving a bad grade or being shunned by your PC peers for having different views.
Even though this was satire it’s sadly true, good article Boosh.
9 years ago at 12:19 pmI mean that is the definition of satire, it is supposed to offer commentary and criticism of some issue. This was just good satire as opposed to some of the stuff they write.
9 years ago at 6:05 pmGoddamn it, I hate when the syllabus doesn’t mention the midterm essay on an uninspiring topic with a minimum page requirement of 12-15 due Monday week 6. You’ll receive the rubric week 4 and you definitely can’t cram it together the night before.
