Day 16 - Mid Term Exams

I was reading these humourous takes on teaching and exams something akin to the Murphy's Laws and am sharing some of the one's that I found interesting. I will begin with those related to exams as the classes I teach in the University sit for their Mid Term exams tomorrow. 
Laws of Applied Terror
1. When reviewing your notes before an exam, the most important ones will be illegible.
2. The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want
3. Fifty percent of the exam will be based on the one lecture you missed about the one topic you didn't read.
First Law of Exams
The examination paper is always easier when you are not taking it.
Second Law of Exams
In your toughest exam, the most distractingly attractive student in class will sit next to you for the first time.
Class Schedules
Class Schedules are designed so that every student will waste maximum time between classes.
Library Laws
•All librarians will be happy to help when you don't need it, but will vanish when you have a question about the Dewey Decimal system.
•Dewey was drunk when he made the decimal system.

I hope you enjoyed reading them a much as I did compiling them.
Love
