This week a student made an appointment to talk about last semester's final exam. I I braced myself for a grade debate. I pulled the final out of the file cabinet, located the appropriate key, and readied the excel file.
Imagine my surprise when the student walked in with a big smile, plopped down in the office chair, and just wanted to chat about the exam.
Seriously. They thought the exam was "really neat" especially the fourth problem* which was "really cool because it was hard and stuff so I wanted to see if I got it right."
*I thought it was really cool, too, but I'm a little biased (and I didn't have to take the exam!!)
