A Unique Examination
A professor was known for being a generous marker. The grades he gave for one of his courses were based solely on two exams，and the stuff on the exams was covered entirely in the textbook. As word of the course spread，each term there was a large group of students who turned up infrequently，or not at all，just showing up for the exams. Finally, it got so bad that one term，about half of the students never turned up at all until the exams. On the day of first exam，the students sat down and a graduate assistant handed out the papers， explaining，"The professor is ill，so I’II be taking the exams.”When they opened the booklet，the students discovered just one question. It listed twenty grainy staff photos，and the instructions read，"Circle the picture of the professor who teaches this course.”
獨特的考試形式
州立教授給學生判分是有名的好好先生，他每門課的成績只根據兩次考試的結果，而考試內容全在課本里。由於這樣的名聲在外，每學期都有一大批學生不怎麼來上課，或者根本不來上課只有考試的時候才露下面。有一學期，差不多有一半的學生直到考試連一堂課都沒來聽過。考第一場那天，學生們坐在那兒，一位助教發了卷子並解釋說:“教授病了，我來監考。”開啟卷子，只有一道題。題目列出了20幅教師的照片，要求是，在教這門課的教授的照片上劃圈。
