Close but No Cigar!

Today I went to visit with my Civil Procedure prof from last semester about my exam. I'm thinking about taking him again for Civ Pro II this fall so I wanted to review my exam to help me decide. So I go into his office & he asks me for my exam number (our exams were anonymous) & when he looked it up, he told me that he had put a red circle around the number. "Why?" I asked. Because I had set a record......in his 22 years of teaching......for leaving the most objective (multiple choice) questions unanswered! 50 out of 150.

It was amazing to him because all the ones I had chosen to answer were all correct! Perfect score. So he told me to have confidence in myself. He could clearly tell I knew the material from my 'very good' essay & all my correct answers, so he could not figure out why I had not answered more questions. "Ummm.....negative points for wrong answers," I answered. "Well, you knew the stuff so you weren't completely guessing therefore, more likely than not, had you answered a few more, they'd have been right & you'd have gotten an "A". I don't mean to make you feel bad but I'm just telling you the truth. Be cofident in what you know," he answered.

Moral of the story: I'll be retaking him for Civ Pro II in the Fall.
