I know exams can be boring, but there are limits.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’ve just got off the phone with one of my friends, who’s just told me this truly amazing story.

She was invigilating an exam today, mainly for those people, that for whatever reason, have been given extra time. It was a computer science exam on “design structures” or something like that.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that some subjects are in fact, just plain dull, however, what my friend witnessed truly takes the cake.

The exam was split into two sessions, each of three hours. My friend witnessed one student spending the entireity of both exam sessions with one hand in his lap, playing with himself.

Huh? Six hours?? My friend commented that she wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face should she bump into him on campus, since she’d witnessed his “orgasm face”.

He must ahve heard the test would be hard for him to handle.

3

Ah, the comical genius of the orgasm face.

So was this several orgasm faces, or did he and his hand last for the entire six hours?

4

Now, I enjoy programming as much as the next fellow, but that is messed up.

<really nerdy joke>
Perhaps he was just confused by the phrase “member function”?

5

I don’t think I’d be gradin’ that test…

6

It’s a psychological thing.

Poor guy has been surfing for porn so much that whenever he sees a computer, there’s just this… impulse…

7

But… but… there were no computers there!

I sat here for a good hour or so in fits of hysterics when I was told this. I just think its really really strange.

Heh. Maybe he was dazzled by the beauty and charm of the invigilator and couldn’t help himself! :slight_smile:

8

Maybe he was trying to iterate his pointer.

9

If so thats one hell of an Alderson loop to get stuck in. :eek:

10

Well, I’d just like to add that I’m very glad I don’t have to mark that exam.

Also, you guys are twisted. :smiley:

11

put it this way that was NOT tip-ex

12

6 hours huh? Must be a little endian.

13

Perhaps he’s in the “extra time” group because of his sex addiction? We’re mocking his disability!

14

Sorry, when you said computer science exam, I assumed it was done on a computer…

I still say, it’s psychological… he sees anything associated with computers and he just has the urge. :stuck_out_tongue:

15

Perhaps the instructions on the paper said, as did my long-ago high school exams - “use HB pencil throughout” and the poor lad just sort of got mislead by the etymology of “pencil”?

Yes, unlikely re. use of pencils, I know - but Iam just practising BS in case I want to enter politics. How coudl he do much good in the exam if he had other important matters in hand.

Oh, I msut tell this to computer-techy friends! :slight_smile:

[computer science major]

No, surprising little of computer science needs to be done on a computer for exams. There’s always ways that the prof can write up an exam on paper for pretty much anything - even testing you solely on a software package that you’ve been working on for half the term. :frowning:
