The Final Countdown

*student turns in the review packet*

Student: "I am so nervous, I didn't understand some of these problems."

Me: "It doesn't really matter.  You had an A, so you don't have to take the final."

Student: "Yeah, but won't I lose points if I get the questions in the packet wrong?"

Me: "Every student just took a final, I have over a thousand problems that I have to grade.  The review packet is just for completion."

Student: "Oh yeah!  High five to that!  What are we doing on Thursday?"

Me: "Make up work."

Student: "So if I have everything turned in...."

Me: "There won't be anything new."

Student: "Well, I will see you after break!"

Painful for Everyone

All of my students are going to be taking their final tomorrow, so I will have a total of 1445 problems to grade.  If I spend exactly 30 seconds grading each problem it will only take me 12 hours to grade all of them.

Almost There

This was written on my board by an unknown student just before they took their final.

Student: "If we all do good on the final tomorrow can....  Wait.  Nevermind.  I just remembered what class I am in."
