EXAM-OLOGY
Reported by VIVIAN KARVOIINIS
When the final week of the
semester rolls around, the Anal
examinations will be with us
again. We approached the English
Workshop in South Hall where
Professor Andrew Kafka was dis
cussing EXAM-OLOGY with a few
freshmen. Professor Kafka was
saying that while an ancient phil
osopher may have had one idea
when he declared that “the un
examined life is not worth living,”
to some student newcomers on our
campus this is a time of anguish.
He read the following doggerel
rhymes which an undergraduate
had once written, “inspired” by
the examinations and dedicated to
the BLUE BOOK:
Trace, develop, indicate,
Show, discuss, and illustrate;
Prove, defend, and justify.
Uphold, account for, verify;
Oppose, contrast, distinguish,
and evaluate.
Review, conclude, summarize,
Complete, explain, analyze;
Refute, disprove, select, and
choose;
Observe, examine, give, and use,
Propose, assume, portray,
prepare.
Describe, include, suggest,
compare.
Identify, specify, clarify, and
state;
Estimate, enumerate, and
demonstrate.
When one of the students ex
pressed interest in taking a course
in EXAM-OLOGY, Mr. Kafka vol
unteered some classifications of
the basic jargon of such a course:
1. The teacher will advise the
student earnestly: to be specific;
be precise; be sure to include; be
explicit; be brief; be relevant;
explain fully; state clearly; bear
to mind; remember at all times;
place emphasis upon; pay parti-
