Chapter 8 is about tests, y'all

And chapter about tests? And right before our midterm? Who would've thought?

Let's see, first up is test anxiety. Ha! I laugh in the face of tests (even the ones I'm not prepared for... it's a rather hollow laugh). I answered "never" for a good deal of the questions, such as "I have difficulty getting a good night's sleep before the test" and questions regarding physical sickness from stress (ouch). I put "sometimes" for the questions regarding being distracted during tests, but I get distracted quite 0ft- ooh, new Youtube video!

A question about one's honor code made me think for a bit: "If someone is caught cheating, which consequence do you think is the most appropriate?" It had a few options to choose from. I thought that failing the student in the course would be way too harsh. Instead, I feel that failing the student on the assignment alone would be a justifiable approach.
