Failure

I just completed a midterm. The professor provided no study guide for the 800 pages, 30+ authors, 5 weeks of lectures, and two videos that were covered. However, he did tell us, “There will be no questions like “According to So-and-So, what are the {requested enumerated list}

On the 31 question short answer exam, no less than 8 questions were of the form, “According to So-and-So, what are the {requested enumerated list}.”

Goodbye, sweet GPA.

It’s a good thing Baptists don’t drink.

Two more papers and one more mid-term to go.

Madness.

    BTW, it’s not that baptists don’t drink alcohol, it’s that they feel guilty about it.

    Truly,

    Madness!

    I really, really hate those kind of exams.

    Good luck anyway!

    “I feel your pain!” In all seriousness I am sympathetic as that will happen to me soon.
    Hang in there and keep writing.

    actually, I would say for you, in this particular moment, it’s a bad thing baptists don’t drink.

    If it is any consolation, I HAD a study guide for my most recent NT exam and still couldn’t get a respectable grade.

    I know several “Baptists” that drink, they also smoke, dance, and cuss too. I know there is a verse in Mark chapter 17 that covers all those really bad things, I just can’t come up with it right now. There is definately a verse in Mark 18 that covers all the bad thoughts you have had about your incompetant professor. Of all the nerve, testing you on things you have covered this semester. I bet he’s not really saved.

    j cyrus- Mark only has 16 chapters . . . I think the reference you were looking for is in Proverbs 32.

    Madness!

    Oh, now we’re not arguing over the length of Mark are we?
    We all know it ends after 16:8.
    Why drink alcohol when oxytocin is so much more readily available?
