Silent Video Ended My Professor

Professor Robert complained that I never spoke up in class, unlike Bella from the other group who was so charming and well-liked.

To force me, he set a rule: every group meeting presentation had to exceed eighty decibels, or he wouldn't sign off on my thesis.

At the first group meeting, I read my report loudly.

He complained my voice was shaking and gave my data to Bella.

At the second group meeting, I ate throat lozenges beforehand.

I raised my voice to debate with Bella and even slammed the table.

After finally outshining Bella, Robert threw my paper in the trash.
