Sometimes I think we humans lose perspective on what things are really all about. I have realized that this finals season I have fallen short of keeping in mind all the real reasons why students must flock to the expanded testing centers at the end of each semester. Here are some of them:
During the semester students get far too much sleep. They must get far less during finals week in order to meet the demands of a long break.
The unimportant details in all classes matter, and even though the professor never thought it important to mention them during the semester he did remember them while writing the final. Students must take the final to realize that they never learned these things.
The fact that a student has carried an A all semester long means nothing to the administration. True excellence is achieved by reciting facts into a test booklet.
All of the great matters of the world can be summed up in just 50-100 multiple choice questions.
So as you go about this finals season don't forget to drain all of that information so that you can make room for next semester!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if college also proves Alma's statement true: small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
