So, for a class this morning, I had to read a Shakespeare play. I read it last night, and felt secure in taking the quiz on the play this morning.
Question 1 asked me how the turnaround at the end of the play was. Fine. Question 2 asked me what happened to all of the characters at the end of the play. I did not recognize a single name on this list. I double-check the top of the test. "Much Ado About Nothing." In the end, I had to turn the test in with the following message. "OH MY GOD! I read 'As You Like It'! I had this dream before! Can you tell me if I did in fact remember to get dressed this morning? Love, ID" I mean, I thought the whole "Read the wrong play" thing was just fantasy and nightmares. But I'm here to tell you today that it could happen to you, and you, and yes, even you! So double-check things, and, when in doubt, be incredibly honest and pray that the professor will let you off with a two-page paper.

LOL! Depends on your prof, and how they're feeling. I've done some strange things with some profs in the past (responding to my history final all in French was not necessarily one of my best moves...), but throwing yourself on the mercy of the court is probably your best move

Hmm, I have a story of some interesting answers I once put in my Religious studies Exam, though I would probably offend someone if I posted them [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I generally find that honesty and overly accurate answers help.
Test question: "How did the shepards respond?" Me: "In rhyming verse." Got 3/4 credit. I won't be penalized if I write a short report on the play I actually read, which is nice [img]smile.gif[/img] It's like that time I said I coudln't share my ideas on a video we watched because I didn't pay attention at all, and was then asked to talk about my thoughts and daydreams. Good times.
