Professor Hides Location of Free Cash in Syllabus, Zero Students Find It

You should be reading your college syllabus, not just because professors harp on it at the beginning of each semester. It could pay cold, hard cash.

The associate head of performing arts at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wanted to give students a reward for reading the syllabus and hid a scavenger hunt clue for his music seminar class this semester, according to CNN.

Students may be ineligible to make up classes if they claim locker one hundred forty-seven and combination fifteen, twenty-five and thirty-five.

The clue would have taken students to a locker that had a $50 bill and the first person to claim it would be free. Nobody did in the class.

Wilson told CNN that it was an academic theory that no one reads the syllabus. When you install software, everyone clicks on the terms and conditions when no one ever does, it is like that.

Lesson learned.

Wilson told students there was something new about the syllabus, but nobody wanted to read it.

This event reminds us of a time when a Russian man changed his credit card contract terms, signed and returned the form, and got the best credit card ever because the company didn't read his changes before agreeing to zero interest, no fees, and After the man sued, both parties decided to amicably end the lawsuit, so we wouldn't recommend trying this at home.

The credit card company did a good job teaching the students. Maybe so.

One student who missed out on the cash told CNN that everyone was guilty of not knowing it was there.

It pays to read the fine print.
