Shooting yourself in the foot for finals

Shooting yourself in the foot for finals

As students brace themselves for final examinations, I would like to leak to the press the professoriate's most closely held trade secret: Multiple choice questions aside, grading papers and examinations can be subject to human error and, worse still, to personal bias.As the further away an exam moves from answers expressed in mathematical symbols toward written prose, the room for error and bias increases.

Doing something about being pimp-slapped

The University's latest financial aid announcement took the student population by storm. The funny thing is that the night before the announcement, as a continuation of my griping about the University's stinging indifference towards the plight of low-income students, I held my roommate hostage by complaining how certain clubs are less financially accessible than others.
