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!!)

How's that for a compliment then!
And how's that for something we just don't expect from students... and yet it exists! There's hope for us all.
well, congratulations for having made a kick-ass exam!
With the attitude these students have, I bet it's going to be hard for you to leave.
Your students seem to be really happy with you!
They sound like a dream group!
Wow - that is a neat experience as a teacher huh?
That's the kind of thing that makes the days of crazy emails and whining worth it.
Way to go!
That's awesome! Sign that student to a binding contract now!
