I'm a Test Subject for Tests
Miriam is teaching a programming intro class. She is using me as a test subject to see how difficult her tests are and/or how long students should have to finish them.
I haven't listened to her lectures or done any readings, and I haven't programmed anything in, like, 20 years. But she is acting on the belief that I get through the material more quickly than a large majority of her students will and adjusting her tests accordingly. And I do, in fact, score better and take less time than most of her students who have been in her class all semester.
I'm blowing my own horn I guess, but I just feel good about that after so many things making me feel pretty anxious and incompetent for so long.
