So the other day we were going to take the midterm for this capstone class, and I realized something about the testing style my professor uses that made me a little excited. My professor uses a lot of story problems in his tests, and he always uses the names of his students in his stories.
And so I thought, "hey, he's never used my name before. I've been a good TA for a while now and I think it's time that my professor pays homage to me by putting my name in the test."
Anyway, I got to class and we all started taking the test. I went through all the multiple questions looking for my name. Instead, I kept reading test questions like this:
"Stacy is working at Big Corporation X when her manager comes to her with a problem..."
"Mark just got promoted to be a brand manager for Product X. Which of the following..."
"Jim just started his own business. Which promotion tactic should he use?"
I'm reading the test and am all like "Yeah, yeah, good for Jim, but where am I on this test?"
Then I got to the final multiple choice question:
"Jacob has been having problems with falling asleep in Professor _____'s class. He needs to change his ways. He remembers hearing (or maybe dreaming) about the SMART goal setting framework. Which of the following would be part of that framework?"
BTW, I missed that question on the test.
