*Following Wednesday's theme, Biology students have a quiz this afternoon.*

*Angelus will be taking his final exam, assuming he shows up.*

*If any students need assistance, Sara is seated at her desk, grading their field trip reports.*

Angelus showed up, right on time. He had his bookbag over one shoulder and a cup of coffee (cream, two sugars) in his right hand. "Hey, teach. Ready whenever you are. Oh, and here - " he handed her a copy of the drop form she'd signed on Tuesday " - I'm supposed to give you a copy of that."

*takes the form* Thank you, Angelus. Here is your exam.

*As far as final exams go, it isn't as brutal as she was tempted to make it. But it is by no means easy.*

[ooc: What's the combo of things that would be rote memorization vs. essays and the like?]

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Say 25 multiple choice, 15 definitions, 10 matching, and 5 essays.]

[ooc: ironically I would so suck at a test like that. Hate matching! Bleh!]

Angelus takes his time with the test. If Prof. Sidle looks over at him she'll occasionally see him closing his eyes and frowning with concentration before putting answers down.

He takes longer with the essays. His bluebook is filled on each page, front to back, with neat handwriting that sprawls across the page.

The exam, when he turns it in, reflects someone who has a good ability to parrot things back from lectures, diagrams, or the text, and who attempts to wriggle his way through the rest.

[ooc: However you want to grade it based on that description is up to you. For instance, if the multiple choice required nothing but memorization he'd ace it. However if it had trick questions he might not go higher than 70/80% for that section. Definitions he'd ace. Matching would be same as multiple choice. Essays would be ye olde classic "The manifest destiny was a destiny that manifested itself in a destined manner" sort of BS to help fill the minimum word count while occasionally sneaking in actual details that may or may not be relevant. ;)

So up to you]

*She grades methodically, inwardly pleased at how well he did with most of the exam. The essays, however, prove to be his Achilles heel and he winds up with an 83.*

[ooc: Danke! =) I actually don't know if there's anything else that needs to be done to cross the t's and dot the i's for him dropping the course. If so I'll let you know]
