Applied Epistemology

It's the end of the semester: time for viewer mail a new comment from my ratemyprofessors.com page!

Mr. Rooney is extremely arrogant, and unapproachable. He doesn’t answer emails, ever. I’m an A student and got a C in his class because he refused the extra credit I did, when it was too late to fix it! If you’re off by one point he will round down and give you the lower grade. Take someone else.

I'll translate from Churlese:

"He doesn't answer emails, ever" = "He doesn't send emails accepting every excuse I make"

"I’m an A student" = "and you can tell because I'm at a community college"

"he refused the extra credit I did, when it was too late to fix it!" = "He graded the extra credit, rather than just giving me free points for not reading the instructions! And he didn't allow do-overs!"

As for being arrogant and unapproachable, well, the judgment appears to come from an authority on the subject.
