Former professor here: When I assigned a project I would allow no changes to it. I would purposely lower grades on anybody who suggested a different approach. I remember this one student Craig (a stupid liberaltard) always asked for modifications on his assignments. Asking for easier work because of his mental problems or something of the sorts. I purposely failed him for giving me more work and coming out as gay (its prohibited in my town). Just a reminder not to bug proffessors or else you get whats coming to you!
