B is the new C

Here's something to cheer you up before exams. Please click to enlarge it if you can't see it.



The student actually submitted this to his professor in a true/false exam. His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them
this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on.
B is the new C

lol~~
it really funny.

其实这件事无形中带给我们一点见解。
答问题时真的要看清楚问题所在。。。
我之前也听过类似的故事。
老师把问题给同学答。。。
问题还蛮难,
有一个学生在埋头苦干,当在回想东西时。。。看到其他同学一副笑面,轻轻松松的把答案给老师。
最后他才得知原来上面指示那边说只要把答案空白就可以拿到满分,但每答一提扣一份。。。到后来才知道原来事情的真相。。。
所以有时不妨听听指示和指点。
