Lecturer Softens The Blow of Impossibly Difficult Exam Question By Using Various Sitcom Character Names

‘Hehe I’m so quirky!’ thought LAWS9001 lecturer David Harrington (34), after he finished writing a deeply perplexing 70% problem question starring ‘Sheldon Snooper’ as the main protagonist.

*******

David’s not like the rest of them. He’s young, hip, moderately attractive and this morning, he had coco pops for breakfast. He is, what some might call, a maverick.

Formerly a secondary school English teacher who use to let his classes watch Spicks And Specks on Friday’s, David is now the proud course-coordinator of LAWS9001: Introduction to Criminal Law, Specifically The Crime That I’m Being Accused Of Which We’ll Get To In Week 6.

After suffering a rather unflattering SECAT evaluation last semester, David felt the need to up his game.

Fearing the distribution of Allen’s Snakes for those that attempted to answer questions during class wasn’t going to be enough, David set out for the student’s final exam to write a problem question littered with all the kids’ favourite TV characters.

The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and Phineas and Ferb were, of course, front of mind.

Unfortunately, those taking the exam quickly realised that David appeared to have spent a little too much time on the arc of his characters and not enough time making sure the question actually made any sense whatsoever.

Pity.
