5/10 = 100% ???



I have never done so horrible on a quiz and yet scored 100% on it.

Today in AIMC 375 we had a quiz over the Hunter/Jones reading. This is nothing new. Typically we have a quiz once a week and typically everyone passes with flying colors. But today was a very different story. The 20 something students in Jones’s Business to Business Advertising class picked up their pencils and pens in anticipation of conquering another 10 point quiz this Friday. Let’s just say it didn't go as planned.
 As a class we epically failed.

It was embarrassing.

After a few minutes of watching our expressions as we drew sad faces next to all of the answers we got wrong our professor declared that she couldn't “look at our pathetic I’m totally failing this faces” anymore and declared we were all getting 100% for showing up today. Anyone who knows Jones understands that this is not typically Jones behavior. But you also know that she is fair, forgiving, and wants us to learn. I am thankful for educators that want the best for their students and are willing to give them a break every once in a while as we have so much else going on in our lives.

Thank God for being able to laugh at ourselves.

And most importantly…thank God it’s Friday!
