In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.
Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don’t arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.
I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the “reading comprehension on this site is piss poor” and said I can fix them
I feel like I need to stress. This was not done out of the goodness of his heart. This man thrives in chaos. About 4 seconds after me and the maybe 12 other students who read through packed up our stuff and left, the rest of the class discovered his little joke. First they cried out, but then they tried to argue with him. The man that had, at that point, spent two semesters teaching them about flawed arguments.
He was in heaven
