[...] Ah, entitlement Jump to Comments Show up to a class for which you’re not registered an hour after it begins, be sent away by the professor, write him an email in complaint, and what would you expect to happen? Evidently not this, but it sure makes for fun reading. (Hat tip to University Diaries.) [...]

I agree, Christopher — the weakest part is the end when he starts dispensing advice. The piece is not without fault.

Really? I’m apparently in the minority on this one–the entire rest of the internet seems to love it–but I thought that as soon as he stopped describing the incident and started giving the student advice it got pretty dreadful. If a student sent me an email like that I probably wouldn’t say anything about it, but inwardly I’d hope they grew out of that internet style before they started writing for business. I mean, seriously, how many ellipses does one piece of writing need?

LOL. I liked that one too.

My favorite bit from the piece:

I hope the lottery winner that is your recently crowned Monday evening Professor is teaching Judgement and Decision Making or Critical Thinking.

My favorite remark from the comments section:

“I have no words for the awesomeness that is Galloway’s response.”

I know – I said to Mr UD this morning – “I’m always putting down the B-school boys… I take it all back.”

Wow, not just a B-school professor who can write, but a *brand strategy* guy who can write…generally there seems to be more than the usual verbal fog surrounding such individuals.
