  3. I like your style!

    This will teach your so-called "professor" to share possible test questions with the class.

    Heh, heh - it might even get him trouble.

    Hope you and the others have a successful final exam. You've all done some amazing work with the digital storytelling.

  5. The teacher has already taught you the answers to the test questions, or the questions wouldn't be on the exam, would they? So one student aggregates and publishes the answers and others read the answers, hopefully thereby actually learning the answers if he or she didn't know already. Learning by social networking? I don't have a problem with that!
    If the teacher wanted to lock down the exam, believe me, he could have! I suspect it is more likely the teacher has gotten one over on you than the other way around!

  6. Exactly. Learning by social networking. And I never said that these were the answers anyway; these are merely my attempts at the answers, to which I'm inviting my classmates to provide their opinions (which works! hence the correction made from the comments above :P)

  8. "Learning by social networking"
    That one resonates, doesn't it? Sandy Jensen, should write a book with that title ;)

    Once again, William, the class owes you one...well, I went around everyone's blog to get the answers one by one, then yours pops up on my feeds...

  9. Swad: <3 :D

    Actually I see it as a group effort. I give you the base, and everyone who looks at it lets me know of errors, if any, and we both benefit from that
