THE SPECTRUM | LARISA KHANARNIA
Kalc U. Lator tries to convince his friends that the exam was too easy.

Local North Dakota State engineering student, Kalc U. Lator, is shocked by his friend’s response to the obviously easy midterm.

Lator, a senior in the mechanical engineering program, was shocked by how easy the midterm for Electrical Engineering 301, Circuits from Hell was. He assumed that everyone would share his obviously right critique of the midterm.

“I found it almost too easy. I am for sure that I got at least a 97 percent.” Lator felt extremely good before he came in. When he sat down he noted to his friends that he didn’t even bring the optional cheat sheet.

“I didn’t see it as a need for me. I studied really hard.” Lator noted that he did a couple of example problems and feels “pretty damn good” for the exam today.

Lator didn’t really feel the need to pay attention in class, since the professor was, according to him, too hard to understand. He noted that he just kind of scrolls through Reddit during the class.

He also admitted he wasn’t 100 percent sure what chapters were covered for the midterm answering, “I think it was chapter three?”

Still, Lator was shocked when after he finished his exam with 20 minutes to spare that everyone else was still in their seats. He had to investigate, so he decided to wait for others to finish. That is when he was shocked by their observations.

“I was surprised when other students claimed the exam was really hard.” Lator is convinced they must have had another exam given to them. Lator who holds a solid 2.0 GPA since coming to college notes that he isn’t about playing the game and would rather be “shredding the nar nar” than be studying. He still maintains optimism.

“I hope I did well. Perhaps the professor will curb the grade for the entire class if we all failed?” Lator is keeping his eye locked on the last day to drop a class. He is hoping this stellar midterm grade can make up for the F grade he got on the first quiz. When asked if he may be too optimistic Lator told us, “Absolutely not.”
