the entitlement society

I just got an e-mail from a student in another class (not mine). He needed some help with his class work, so he went to the Learning Center tutors for an hour last Friday and an hour today. Now he wants me (or anybody in the department) to sign off on two hours of "extra credit assignment".

The only way I can read this is "I'm paying you to feed me education in 2-1/2 hours a week. If I have to spend any more time on it than that, I expect to be reimbursed."
