Easily Obvious

(I teach a business class, which has just done horribly on a rather easy multiple choice test.)

Me: “Overall, the test results were horrible. We went over everything on this test during the last three weeks.”

Student: “But the test was hard.”

Me: “I’ll make a deal with everyone: if you come to class every day, listen, take notes, and study one hour before the test, I’ll make the next test easy.”

Student: “If we do that, OF COURSE it will be easy!”

(I am speechless.)
