that, if your logic teacher told you that there would be some translations duplicated from the quiz to the exam.
And, if that same logic teacher turned some of the translations from quiz questions to extra-credit questions, saying that they were a bit too difficult for the quiz, but not too difficult for the exam.
And, if -- during the review, your logic teacher told you to look at your old quizzes for the translaitons, and to be sure you know them...
Don't you think you'd take the time to figure out questions that are 6% of an exam you are worried about.
or -- if you answered "no, I wouldn't believe my instructor when she tells you that they'd be on the exam." -- I'd say, "stop reading my blog and go do your homework...your exams aren't coming out very well so far and you'll need to learn to do proofs to get your C".
really folks -- sadly, I'm not at all surprised, I'm just kind of sad that they aren't getting those three questions correct.

Ummm, duh...
If there isn't any evidence that my twin doesn't exist, it is reasonable to believe that she's out there --- right?
If there isn't any evidence that Santa doesn't exist, it is reasonable to believe that he does -- right?
NO. NO. NO. NO.
I actually had a student try to tell me that, since there is no evidence that God doesn't exist, it is reasonable to believe that s/he does... huh?
This is the same bozo that says Russell's argument that says, 1) We ought not believe in something for which there is no solid evidence, 2) There is no solid evidence that God exists (most of "Why I am not a Christian".), 3) Thus, it is not reasonable to believe that God exists -- doesn't make sense.
hmmm-- dork. do the reading, come to class.... don't give me the stink-eye.
aargh.....
I also had a student who kept not even listening to me when I gave her more help than I should have on the exam.... several times. She's a bit older, maybe has a language issue and missed at least three classes from this section without doing the work or asking for extra help.
Sadly, she deserves to fail the exam -- which is probably what will happen when I grade them tomorrow.
