The final exam will be administered
at random
and
repeatedly
you will be notified
at least halfway through
each time
that it is taking place
Cheating is
impossible
and any corners cut
will teach you
about the shape of the world
Lecture notes
will only be helpful
if written on your heart
and you must balance preparation time
between private study
and public practice
Collaboration is
encouraged
though the timing
of your tests
will not always line up
Feedback will be provided
each time you remember
and sometimes when you do not
I am, like the rest of you
excited to see
how the earth will pass.
