Backstabbed
So I had my econ final today. From 10:30 pm last night to 8am this morning when the test started I was in the library with a bunch of other kids. I'm the econ guy. It's my major, I like it; the rest of the class is taking it because they have to. So obviously I'm playing teacher, ripping through 200 pages of textbook and condensing it down into 3 pages of summarized outline. Chapters 8-13; we didn't do chapter 14 because it just summarized the whole book, and we knew everything. Cold. I took four people who knew jackall about economics, insurance, and social security, and turned them into lean, mean, Trust Fund analyzing machines.
Then we get to the test. And the first question, worth a full 1/2 of the test grade, is as follows:
The following are three section headings from Chapter 14. Pick 2, and describe the associated section, as well as one aspect of Social Insurance that it relates to.
Long story short, half the class got up and left. The guys I'd been studying with stuck it out with me, but the two girls just left that question blank and answered the rest - a moot point, since without the first one there's no chance of passing this final.
I'm all set. But I feel like a douche... I should have done that last chapter.
