Apparently I Don’t Teach Math
I just want to note that not one of the 46 students I’m teaching this semester pointed out that the percentages I listed on my syllabi, detailing the amount that each assignment would count toward their final grades, don’t add up to 100. In one class, they added up to 105, and in the other, 120. Did no one notice, or did someone deviously think they’d use my bad calculation to their advantage?

Are they English majors? They may not have noticed either.

If they had added up to 80, students would have noticed.

I did that one time. I think the students did call me on it before I noticed myself, but it was reeeaaallly late in the semester.

Les Miles thinks those numbers add up fine.
