Shadis's Head Analysis

Superior Essays
In addition to practical exams, trainees have to do written exams. These are mass produced using a printing press. Connie and Sasha discovered this 5 months ago, and they had been dreaming of the day they’d use it. That day during their final examinations

Armin, ever the exemplary student, handed out the final written exams in his instructor’s places. Shadis had to go out because one of his aids had informed him that Sasha and Connie had locked themselves in the pantry and began gorging instead of going to the exam. The written exam had nothing to do with admittance into the Military Police, but its score is something future superiors have access to. Sure, even then no one really pays attention to it outside a few garrison commanders, but

The first 2 pages of the test were pretty standard: just some multiple choice about military law and proper ODM gear maintenance procedure. But it was on the third page that he found himself stumped. Yes, Armin, the smartest member of the cadets, was at a loss for how to answer a problem. Not because of a lack of knowledge, but more out of sheer confusion.

7. How many hairs are on Keith Shadis’s head?

A) 0
B) 3
C) 100
D) 485
E) It’s Instructor Shadis you miserable excuse for a living organism”

After a few seconds, Armin figured someone had probably screwed with the exams. Probably Sasha and Connie. Those two would screw around some times, but this might be the worst they’ve done. He was both impressed and vicariously ashamed.

“Excuse me, sir-“ Armin called out to the aid.

“Can it wait till Shadis gets back?” the aid asked, looking up from his newspaper.

“I mean, I guess it can, but-“

“Then we wait till Shadis gets back.”

Armin wasn’t going to be able to fix this situation, so he just sat down and sighed. He figured he might as well see what was on the other pages. He heard people begin to giggle harder and harder around him, so he figured it was something

    I do think Lucy violated the UHD Honesty Policy because even though she did not directly want to see the exam. In my opinion, in the moment she realized the paper was the exam she should have put it in the professor’s mailbox instead of reading part of it. The UHD Academic Honesty Policy states in page 45 “cheating includes but is not limited to: obtaining and/or using unauthorized material.” She is not responsible that the professor forgot the exam in the printer.…

    In the book Freakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, Steven Levitt compares two subjects by juxtaposition analysis. Juxtaposition analysis is the comparison of two seemingly unrelated subjects and shows how they are similar, like comparing apples and oranges. They are two very different fruits with different tastes and uses; however they both are considered fruit, and have seeds. Both need water and sunlight to grow, and both grow on a tree and can be grafted. Levitt and Dubner compare subjects that, under normal circumstances, wouldn’t be used in the same context; such as: sumo wrestlers and school teachers, crack gangs and Mcdonalds, or how a Klu Klux Klan member is like a real estate agent.…

    Daryl Cagle’s amusing diction reveals the astonishing truth about today’s educational system as he swaps out “a young girl’s quote bubble with a picture of a marked scantron test” and recreates her facial expressions as “ignorant and irritating”. He portrays an elderly woman asking a young girl what she had obtained from going to school that day. Cagle sums up modern education by simply placing a multiple choice answer document to the girl’s response. By using multiple colors and patchy lines adds touches of ignorance and foolishness to the piece. Cagle uses this sketch to criticize our educational system.…

    fails to pass a standardized test or regents exam. Further, it is not fair, for teachers to be criticized based on how well their students perform in their state exams. In addition, it is also not fair for principals to use test scores to judge teachers how effective and ineffective they are? Ever since, the nation has industrialized, we have forgotten how strenuous teaching is and often times, they are not always observed fairly and their accomplishments are also not always acknowledged. Teacher’s role often changes from teaching to counseling, because some students are in the poverty borderline, according to a Washington D.C post, by Lyndsey Layton.…

    The proctor did walk over to our desks, and he did see the paper, but when I looked down to confirm the papers location, it wasn’t there. It was hiding in between the pages of Dan’s test booklet, as if he had seen my integrity and my ambitions collide, and realised that my integrity mattered more to me than any score ever could. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, confident that I had made the right choice. I chose not to cheat, even when the tool to do it was right there in front of me, even when I had so much to lose.…
