........You never took an examination this dramatic......
The professor, 3 days before the majors, announces: “There will be a minor III, just after the major, and the best two out of the three will be considered. The same will serve as a re-minor for anybody who missed either of the two.”
This professor has quite cryptic ways of speaking.. (like, he won't ask you to be attentive, rather he'd say-"You know it's so easy to set a difficult question paper, but it won't be as easy to solve it.") And he has this unique way of evaluating the answerscript. Instead of giving you 4 marks for an answer (to a 5 marks question), he would write (-1). So he'd put -1, -2 and would write the reasons of these deductions beside the numbers. But, well, let's return to the major.
It’s 3:30 PM. Question paper is being distributed..
Maximum marks: 40
“Attempt 40 marks’ questions out of the 65 marks’ questions printed on the paper, in any possible combination of 5, 10, 15 marks’ questions.” Wow!!! Examinations were never this good.
It’s 5:30 PM now. Time over.
“There will be minor III, after 10 minutes break. Choice is yours if you want to take it or not. You can even leave with the minor’s answer script, at any time, if you think you can’t improve on your previous scores, because in any case, best two are to be considered.”
Minor III starts...
(I ain't taking it. I've entered in the examination hall 30 minutes late for the major, due to another extended major, and am still attempting the major (Of course, with prior permission to come late.). Also, I am in no mood of taking a re-minor after 5 hours of continuous exhaustion. Well, that’s a different story.)
Question paper is being distributed..
“Sir, it’s the major’s question paper!” says somebody.
“Yes, there are questions worth 25 marks, at least, that you haven't done yet, aren’t? Those who missed or want to improve on minor I attempt 20 marks in any combination (as it was of 20 marks); and those who want to take minor II, attempt 25 marks (as it was of 25).”

He needs protection. Creative cool teachers are an endangered species!
True!
One day he was telling us.. "They say attendence has a positive co-relation with grades. I take attendence only to verify if it holds, I've no intentions to make it hold true with any deliberate inputs from my side."
