Adventuring Survival Tactics, April 27. Period 4. Final
The Doctor had printed essay booklets at each desk, and even had number 2 pencils (Dixon Ticonderogas, to be specific) there as well.
The test booklet read as follows:
Short Answer
1. You run into a Dalek in a dark alley. What do you do?
2. What's the most important thing to secure for yourself in a foreign locale?
3. What do you include in any proper adventuring wardrobe?
4. Pie?
Long Answer
1. Describe in detail several stupid plans that could get you killed on an alien planet.
2. Describe in detail why getting killed is a bad plan.
3. Describe in detail the match between Manchester United and Arsenal in 2009.
Hey. No one said the test would be fair.
The Doctor also had written 'Talking = Class Failure' and 'Cheating = Class Failure, Detention, Meeting the Principal'.
He was apparently a little cranky this morning. He was watching the classroom like a hawk. Best not to cheat or talk, then.
[ooc: OCD up. And thank you ALL for making a -wonderful- class this semester. You all deserve cookies and pie and cake.]

Re: Take the Test
You say run. I say there's nothing invented that a lightsaber can't kill.
2. What's the most important thing to secure for yourself in a foreign locale?
Someone for whom the locale's not foreign. A protocol droid'll do in a pinch.
3. What do you include in any proper adventuring wardrobe?
A lightsaber. It can kill things and open cans of rations. Very handy. You'd mentioned something about shoes, but I only have the one pair of boots anyway. They're not new.
4. Pie?
I suppose it could serve as a bribe to locals, emergency food or a surprise weapon of some kind. It wouldn't be first on my list, though. Traveling with it would require some special attention to make sure it didn't smush.
1. Describe in detail several stupid plans that could get you killed on an alien planet.
Luke's answer went into strategic detail (for pages and pages) about why underestimating aliens that look like teddy bears would lead to a disaster. Not that he was proud of the Ewoks or anything. He also included examples questioning whether using a planet entirely made of ice was the most strategic hidey-hole and made a passing aside about making sure to double check how to kill Sarlaacs before taking on gangsters.
2. Describe in detail why getting killed is a bad plan.
Luke went for a page and a half about how getting killed wasn't necessarily the end of the line, with many references to Ben Kenobi before deciding that this teacher would probably not appreciate his insights on that and crossing it all out.
His essay did end up with a decided slant that despite the Jedi Code of Combat's first rule (survive), sometimes self-sacrifice for the greater good was appropriate.
3. Describe in detail the match between Manchester United and Arsenal in 2009.
His entire answer: Using the ability to see the future in order to discover the results of sporting events is stupid. I won't do it.
Sigh. Skywalkers.
[Somewhere in the B range, depending on how much the Doctor wants his own answers agreed with.]
