examinations and aftershocks.

since yesterday afternoon, every time i've check my email, another student has written me, requesting to meet and to discuss the course. tomorrow i have 3 appointments with students.

ye gods;

had i known it would be this much trouble,
i would have written an easier exam .. \-:



thinking it through, the average student has an advantage:

before the exam, they have to study,
but afterwards, they are free (at least until the next exam).

before the exam, my students flood my office hours,
i have to think it through -- what i want the exam to be,

afterwards, students still flood my office hours, even make appointments. there is damage control for another week ..!

sometimes getting older just isn't worth it.
