Today I passed the exam, but they didn't put the grade in my gradebook because I don't have one. Now I have two more subjects that I need to take care of.
Well, at least the exam was easy. I was supposed to do a report, but I didn't because I couldn't find a topic and decided to just skip it, thinking I'd do it during the exam session or something...
I wasn't wrong! It turned out that I could pass the exam by submitting the report or answering orally, which is what I did...
I sat down next to the professor, and she asked a question and waited... After my 20 seconds of silence, she said that I could do the report and submit it or answer again, but on Friday. So, I really put my brain to work and
tried to answer the question, and she said, "Is that all? We covered this topic yesterday" (damn, but I wasn't there yesterday!). Anyway, I told her that I missed the last class, and she asked, "Were you at the first one?" I said, "Yes!!!111." Then she asked a question from the first topic, which I had just read about in the morning, and I answered it easily. Honestly, the question was really simple... It's easier to answer like that than to download a report from the internet, edit it, print it, and so on. :[/QUOTE]bash.orgWhen I was a student, I had to take an exam with a very nice woman. She was a practicing lawyer, and I expected that she would grill me on everything in the syllabus.
She looked at me and, without asking anything, asked:
- What grade do you want?
- Um... I'd like a five.
- Excellent," she said, and started writing in my gradebook.
- Are you not going to ask me anything? - I was surprised.
She looked up from filling out the gradebook, looked at me carefully, and said:
- Remember, young man, the less you know, the more valuable I am as a specialist.
This phrase stuck with me for life, and I stopped wasting time in class.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
