Mr. Y shows teachers how to encourage students to take notes

Mr. Y's "How to create a dynamic class... where students take notes."
Here is the fine print in Mr. Y's course:

All it will take to get the highest grade on this exam is a half hour of studying and ten minutes of organizing your notebook. Done and done. Oh, did I mention that many college exams are structured just like this?

The fine print: 
Disclaimer: Failure to adequately prepare for life’s inevitable challenges is an interesting trait displayed by many humans. Most of the students at Oxbridge Academy are human. Ergo. Most students will fail to adequately prepare for a World History class challenge: The end of term exam. Defy human nature and study. Get out your notebook. Pay close attention to the Holocaust. There are a couple of camps that kept being mentioned in our studies: Auschwitz and Dachau. Spend just a moment—less that a minute—and Googlethem.  Be able to answer why the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was considered a Japanese failure (that’s the essay question—you’ll be expected to use the 5Ws and construct a multiple paragraph essay—Go to Sparknotes and see what they say about Pearl Harbor…)

If you were presented with a picture of Picasso’s Guernica, could you explain the destruction in 1937 of that small Spanish town and what that meant to the world? Do you know Hitler’s role in the production of that painting? How about Francisco Franco? If you don’t you may want to pay Mr. Google a visit. Just sayin’.

You just read the fine print. You received invaluable information about the nature of the exam you’re going to take on Tuesday. Today’s lesson: Read the fine print and study. It was Henry Ford that said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
