Observations on exams:
1. Okay, fine. Renewals and termination of transfers is rocket science. I will still test on it!
2. When the question has a female protagonist, most people use her first name. When the question has a male protagonist, most people use his last name. There’s even a correlation between people who mistake “Jo Harvelle” for a male (despite the use of the pronoun in the question) and use “Harvelle” instead of “Jo” to answer the question. Just submitted for your consideration.
3. Stop saying “arguably” or I will hurt you. Ok, I’ll just reduce your grade. Argue or do not argue; there is no arguably.
( Vaguely spoilery for BSG: )
