"Okay class, do any of you have anymore questions on the review packet?" nobody raised their hands. The previous week, Lancer had given them a packet containing forty-two questions, several of which would be taken out and comprise that class's final exam. Over the weekend, everyone had typed up bulleted answers and brought the answers to class that Monday. They had just finished going over the packet, and the exam was the next day.
"Good!" Lancer exclaimed, upon seeing that everyone's questions had been answered. "Now, since Principal Ishiyama has refused to allow you to use the school's computers for the exam, and I don't want all of you to take the time to both figure out answers and write them out by hand, I'm passing out these little note cards. Each of you choose questions from the packet whose point values add up to 100 Then, hand the cards back to me. The questions you choose are the ones that you have to answer on the exam." The room was silent for a second.
"Are you serious?" Dash asked, disbelief apparent on his face.
"Quite serious, Mr. Baxter," Lancer replied as he handed out the note cards. The students all looked at their cards as though they were godsends.
"So…we only have to study, like, seven questions instead of forty-two?" Tucker asked incredulously.
"Wow…Mr. Lancer rocks!" Danny exclaimed. Sam and Tucker gaped at him, their eyes the size of dinner plates.
"Danny? You're scaring us. And we fight ghosts on a daily basis," Sam told him.
"Yeah, dude, you thinking positively about Lancer is a sign of the apocalypse," Tucker added.
"I don't care," Danny replied, "I love this class!" He eagerly put down the questions that he'd selected and handed the card to Lancer.
"Toooo much caffeine this morning," Sam quipped as she and Tucker followed suit.
