Examinations

A sense of discomfort and unease prevailed. There was no name for it, but at some primal level the students knew that something unnatural, something foul and evil, some eldritch horror awaited them. And there was nothing they could do to stop it. 

  1. The Midterm  100 points, Due Nov. 2, 2009
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- Frank Herbert, Dune, Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

  2. The Final 100 points, Due. by 11:59pm Dec. 14, 2008
    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear. -- Mark Twain
