"Awesome" test answers
Courtesy my fellow Norman (i.e., Beverly High alum) Maria King, I posted some "awesome" test answers. I especially like the one with the "expansion."
Sweet. I posted a link that had two of those before, but most of them were new to me. Makes me want to contribute something of my own by fishing out an old AMa 95b final of mine. "What did the chicken do?"
I've seen a few winners in tests that I've graded.
Another of my favorites occurred in a rough draft one of my research students once wrote. In it, she referred to "consecration" of angular momentum. I guess the Atlanta influence was too much for her. (She's quite brilliant; it was just a matter of word substitution, which is also one of my specialties.)
