Oh, come on, guys. Don't you think you're all being a little alarmist?
I mean, yeah, an awful lot of people were kind of glassy-eyed and shambling this morning, but I am 99% sure that's just due to the wacky fun of early morning finals. 99.5%, even. - okay maybe just 98.5%, the point is? Almost positive that it's totally normal.
And while it really was a shame what happened to my nice Chaucer professor, let's face it, if you assign a two-essay final exam on top of a final essay, and have it include so much writing that the hands of no less than sixteen poor students fall off over the course of the test (seriously! I figure I'm lucky to have mine still attached), you kind of have to anticipate that people might be irritated. Stress drives people to do all kinds of crazy things.
