Creativity Credits

You can tell the personalities of the students just by looking through their exams. When they don't know the answer to a question, they can be regretful, resentful or playful.

For example, in the second exam of my boss's Genetics lecture, the answer to one question should be "ligase", which is a kind of enzyme (suffix "-ase" = "enzyme") that "ligate" two DNA pieces together.

One student knew what this question was asking for, but didn't remember the name of the enzyme. So he wrote down: Nano duct tapase.

My boss gave him extra credits for his creativity.
