2nd Quarter - Written Exam - American Regional
This test was a walk in the park compared to the one he gave us for Midterms.
And this time I wasn't barefoot. Since classes are officially over I can tell
you about the test. The first two pages was short answer and what I didn't know
was pretty easy to guess at. The third page had 36 vocabulary words listed and
we had to pick 20 of them to define. The fourth page was when the moaning and
groaning from the peanut gallery started. It was a picture of a pig, divided up
in sections. Underneath the picture it told about each section and how much that
section weighed. The question was... what percentage of the pig is each section?
OMG! you would have thought he was asking them to do some sort of 4th year
graduate school calculus test. A sad commentary on our society today. The fifth
page of the test was JOKES! Yes you heard me, jokes. Logic questions and
Riddles. By now the peanuts were flying and I was flying right thru this test.
It even made me laugh when I saw one of the logic questions was the exact same
thing I used to give my students as a "Stupid Quiz" when I didn't have enough
grades for a 6 weeks. The sixth and last page of the test was extra credit. It
was worth 10 points and it was one of those "all or nothing" types where you
either got the 10 points or you didn't... no partial credit. What did I have to
list for these wonderful 10 points? List all 50 states! Can you do it? It took
me a few minutes and two very rough sketches of the US on the back of the
test... but I finally remembered them all. Ok. Monday night was easy, Tuesday
night my practical went great, Wednesday night's test was a walk in the park...
can Thursday follow suit? Stay tuned to find out.
