As your professor approaches the podium, he starts up the projector and begins showing slides of what appears to be animals from Australia. You are thoroughly confused now. He explains in Italian, “Your test results on the last exam were so bad that I decided I would give you an easy bonus grade. For each of these animals that you can name in Italian, I will give you five points on your exam…and believe me, you ALL need it!” With that, the class erupts into applause…but not you.
