Day 77


Day 77 (16th October)

Almost the entire day was consumed in setting the question paper for the mid-semester test. Work expanded to fill the time. Parkinson’s Law can never be wrong. I am setting tricky questions, strewing some red herrings along the way. Questions that test the grasp of fundamentals. Questions that demand full attention in the class. Questions that are neither straight nor wicked.

It is time to take the warnings seriously and do some proactive maintenance.
