I Broke into a College Classroom at Night and Stole Tests
I won’t say exactly what class it was, but I had a class that involved both math and physics.
The guy teaching the class was an OK guy but he was a horrible teacher.
He didn’t explain the concepts very well
And even worse than his teaching was the way he made up the tests.
They were full of errors
The first few tests I took in the class I actually got a lower grade on because I spent so much time trying to figure out why I couldn’t seem to get the right results for my answers and I didn’t finish all the questions on the test because I ran out of time.
The teacher acknowledged that he made a few mistakes on the tests, but he didn’t change my grade or give me extra time to finish.
So for the last test of the semester, which wat the test that counted the most towards our grade, I broke into the classroom and stole the test out of his desk.
I opened the locked door with a butter knife at night.
I left the classroom, made a copy of the test and then returned and put it back.
The test was the next day.
I stayed up that night going through the test
And sure enough, it was full of mistakes
The next day, I not only gave all the right answers as I knew how to do anyway, but I also corrected every single mistake in the test
I wrote things like “I believe this is what you meant to ask on the question but didnt and if you had asked the question the correct way then this would be the correct answer, otherwise the question actually has no correct answer”
Or “there’s no way to give a correct answer for this question because the table that you presented was incorrect in these two values, but if it had had these other values which would have made more sense, then this could’ve been the answer”
The next class after the test, the teacher asked to speak with me and said that he was sorry that the test had so many mistakes on it and that he would be sure to be more careful in making up tests in the future and complemented me on correcting his work and gave extra credit.
I got a perfect grade for the class.
