Through a Glass Darkly: Spies and Spying; Week 15 - Period 3 (Final)

Aly surveyed the class with a grin as they came in.  "Morning, all.  Welcome to your last class.  Hopefully you've had fun this term and learned a bit as well.  I enjoyed teaching you all."

"It was difficult to think up an exam for this class.  Most of the time when you're spying, if you survive, you passed."  She grinned.  "If you get the information you need, you succeed, but staying alive passes.  Since I don't think that would be the best idea in the world to do that, I simply have a few questions and one last memory game."

"First, when do you think spying is appropriate and has this changed from your opinion at the beginning of the class."

"And second, in your opinion, what are the most important tools of a spy.  How would you continuing building your ability to use these tools if you were to continue training as a spy after this class?"

She glanced at the stash of pens that were wriggling about where they were captured in a bag.  "Since our pens and books seem to be rebelling, let's just go ahead and do this orally.  I'll ask a few follow up questions because I would like to see how you're thinking this morning."

"Once you've answered both these questions, give the jewel game one more try, and then have a good rest of finals week.  I'll hopefully see you next term."

[OOC: Seriously you guys were an absolutely fabulous class.  I love you all like pie. A bit of OCD is coming up.  And omg, this was always in the comm.  Really.]

"The most important tool is your own common sense," Aeryn says. "There will be some instances where you don't have the usual tools available, or you have to gather information when you hadn't been expecting to. I was able to use things I learned from this class to complete an assignment in Criminal Justice class just by remembering what I learned about seeming like you belong there and playing off of that. If you can keep your mind sharp, you can take it from there."

"Yes," Aeryn answers. "If you can't adapt, you'll usually be discovered easily and it's all over."
