I'm amazed. And not in a good way.

Let me ask you guys a question. If you were taking a quiz and the instructor handed you two sheets of paper, would you not check to see if at least one of the sheets was double-sided? Apparently, that's a little too difficult for one of my classes. I just finished grading the first quiz they took, and about a quarter of the class failed to answer the questions on the back of the first sheet. You would think that when reading the questions, they would have wondered where questions 8-13 were, since they all answered 1-7 and 14-20. Surely that would have raised alarms in their brains. I never thought I'd have to remind a college class, "Now remember, children, whenever I give you a quiz or exam that is more than a page long, be sure to check and make sure you've answered the questions on both sides of the paper!" :)

LOL that reminds me of one of my Literature class's I took. We had our final exam, 3 pages long. Six if you counted both sides. Only 8 of us in a class of 37 finished all six pages. Needless to say, the other 29 petitioned to retake, and unfortunately they won the chance. Made no sense to me, I mean hell if your dumb enough to miss the other side, what makes you think you will actually pass it the second time?????????

I know! After the third one, I was just sitting here blinking in wonder and thinking something along the lines of, "Gee, I wonder which of my students are probably going to be getting great big Fs at the end of the semester?" I'm really wondering if they all sit at the same table and managed to copy each other, honestly.
