I would always start a class with optimism and a focus on learning, but as the semester went on and finals approached, the amount of new material in all my classes became overwhelming, and "Will it be on the test?" could be a key to survival.<br /><br />If I ever get the chance to go back to school, it will be as a part-time student, so I have the luxury of giving each class all the attention it deserves...Denise in ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928843626113889088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-28041941261715929702013-09-21T17:56:24.520-07:002013-09-21T17:56:24.520-07:00I usually don't mind when they ask if somethin...I usually don't mind when they ask if something is going to be on the test (although it can be asked as an obnoxious question-- it's really all down to tone) because usually they're trying to figure out how they will be assessed on the topic, which seems like a reasonable thing to want to know.<br /><br />All the same, I do like your smug and snarky response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-35591156061198190532013-09-21T10:21:18.926-07:002013-09-21T10:21:18.926-07:00I had a wonderful experience the other night in my...I had a wonderful experience the other night in my calculus class. I told them the work we were doing to prove that derivative of sin x is cos x would not be tested. They asked even more questions than usual.
