You don't want your children blame you for...

Their names. Of course.

 

In a certain class, where the lecturer loves to call the students' names to solve problems on the white board, my name has only been called twice up until now. On the contrary, one of my friend always prepares to solve problems even though the lecturer hasn't written the question on the board. He's been called more than ten times since the first meeting of the class. No, that's not a private matter, and there isn't any kind of "weton anda buruk" or "anda tidak cocok kerja di air cocoknya jadi petugas kolam renang" for the student to be so unlucky.

 

There is a psychological issue here that makes it happen. I call it the student list psychology trick. To make things simpler, I've divided the list into four categories.

 

The first one is the you're dead that's unavoidable go blame your dad category. This includes students whose names start with A - E. They are usually on top of the list. This is the worst place for you because lecturers love to start calling student names going down from the top of student list, thus making a very high probability that your name be called first.

 

The second one is the wtfwhydoihavetostartfromthetopiwillstartfromthebottomnexttym category. This includes students whose names start with S - Z. They are usually at the bottom of the list, and lecturers sometimes wants some variation and call student names from the bottom of the student list until the very top of it, which is usually impossible as the class is usually over before he/she reaches the top. The probability is quite high, because the first time a lecturer wants to make a calling variation, the bottom of the list is always the first target. This category is also dangerous.

 

The third one is the omgwtfbbq man he's unique he starts calling from the middle rofl ajujujuju category. This includes students whose names start with L - R. Feel safe that your name is in the middle of the list? Not so quickly, baby. If the lecturer is bored with the "bottom-to-top" variation, he will start to call names going down from the middle of the list. This situation is somewhat unique so you get a low chance that your name is called.

 

The last is the paradaisu category. This includes the rest of the names (F - K). This is the safest place for you in the student list because it has the least probability that your lecturer will call your name. He will need to start calling names from the middle to the top, which is the last thing they do if they're bored with those three categories.

 

My name starts with G and the other person I mentioned above has a name started with A. His name is on the very top of the students list and that's why he's got a bigger chance to get called to solve problems on the board.

 

Warning: Not all you've read is true. Drink a lot of water, get choked and run off to the restroom if your lecturer suddenly rolls a dice from his pocket or created a random number generator program to start calling names in random.

 

look, i'm serious



y so srs?
