WASHINGTON―In what classmates are calling an act of heroism, Ryan Singh, a sophomore, has at long last persuaded his Introduction to European History professor to release the class syllabus. The course outline, which contains guidelines for reports as well as essential assignment due dates, had been withheld from the class for reasons unknown since the beginning of the semester.
Though Singh has attempted to humbly downplay his accomplishment and avoid the press, an anonymous inside source reported Singh often stayed after class, went to office hours, and sent regular emails to his professor in a desperate effort to address the issue.
“I [Singh] appreciate all of the gratitude I have been receiving since the release of the syllabus and I want to make sure my classmates remember that this was a struggle we could only have gotten through together,” Singh said in an official statement released on his Facebook page on Monday night.
When reached for comment on the incident, Singh’s professor, who requested that his name be withheld, said that he apologized for the incident and any inconvenience it caused.
“The class and I have put this episode behind us,” he explained. “The class’s first exam will be graded with a generous curve as a gesture of goodwill.”
