God forbid. So today I was going to give some history students an open-book test. Before I could hand it out, some Aggy fan students proposed that I delay the test to Monday and that if Aggy won this weekend, then the test was waived. I chuckled and countered with this:
Test delayed to Monday. If the Aggies win, it's open-book.
If the Aggies lose, then it is a closed book test.
Come October 8th I get Alabama to determine open or closed book test the following week.
I pointed out to the students that the Alabama game would be in Tuscaloosa and that I was going to give them an open-book test today, with no wager required. Some students began to have second thoughts. The Aggies insisted however.....and so their academic futures hang on a maroon thread....
