A University of the Free State (UFS) student shared a screenshot of her lecturer's savage response to one of the emails she sent to him.

Siphokazi Nxumalo, who uses the handle @c_phoh on TikTok, shared a post on the popular social media platform showing her online interaction with the educator.

In the email, Siphokazi greets the professor and states that the last few questions on a test puzzled her.

She continues in the email:

"I followed the steps and everything but still got those questions wrong. I think there might be something wrong with the system because those are not my marks. I hope I can get clarity in your response."

The next day, the student received a response with some sass.

The lecturer replied:

"Good day, Siphokazi. The answers you chose were incorrect. The system is perfectly fine, and those ARE YOUR MARKS. Please attend tutorial sessions or study the chapter before writing the test."
