Internet Melts Down Over Professor Kristen Yeager’s ‘Existential Dread Syllabus’ That Assigns 0% Attendance, 100% Panic
The latest trending academic hero, Professor Kristen Yeager, has gone viral for her unorthodox course syllabus that replaces grading rubrics with a single line: “If you’re reading this, you’ve already failed society’s expectations.” Students are sharing her policy of “Mandatory Self-Doubt Hours” and a final exam that’s just a QR code linking to a live feed of a squirrel trying to cross a busy street. The irony? Yeager teaches “Critical Thinking in the Age of Cynicism,” and the course is somehow both the most popular and least attended class on campus.
