Comic Relief on Finals

Quotes which I put on the final for my quantum computing class:

“I didnt’ fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.” — Benjamin Franklin
“People will accept your idea much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.”–David H. Commins

Unfortunately I didn’t put a comic on the test. It always seemed that the exams I took in intro level physics and chemistry courses at Caltech, or the ones I saw in similar courses at Berkeley, always had either a Far Side or a Calvin and Hobbes comic on them. In fact, I have a conjecture about this. I’m convinced that you can identify the exam by the comic on the front of the exam. Far Side: physics. Calvin and Hobbes: chemistry. But this just may be a result of my local experience.

  1. Dude, physics 7a and then 7a and then 7b (freshman mechanics and e&m) Berkeley 96-97 were all about the Calvin and Hobbes. Every class was opened with C&H. Of course, this was entirely due to Bruce Birkett, but he had a not insubstantial influence on a chunk of physics majors.
