Dr. Jekyll: I am teaching "Introduction to Transformation" this semester as are seven of my colleagues. We all received an identical e-mail from an erstwhile tutor. He was requesting access to our BlackHoleBoard pages. None of us had heard of this student before, which is odd as the Snowflake Remediation Center usually only hires students who have successfully completed a course to be a tutor for that course. (I should note that the SRC is run by the university, not our college.) I suppose it is possible that the student took the course with someone who is no longer teaching it. However, it was also odd that the student provided no evidence that they had in fact been hired by the SRC. This student seemed to believe we would be willing to open up our BlackHoleBoard materials to them just because they asked.
Prof. Hyde: My poor colleague Dr. Jekyll still doesn't get it. Let us assume this person is in fact a legitimate tutor hired by the university. This fact alone entitles them to make such a request without providing any other information, such as proof of the hiring, to the teachers of the course. Gall, much like evil, often knows no bounds. Now, has anybody seen Sir Danvers Carew?
