Gee, Fred, were you hiding in my class last week?
The afternoon before the RHCE exam I told 'em almost exactly the same

"If you feel like you *have* to study tonight, study the table of
contents in the 'RedHat Administrators' Guide'."
So, what's the percentage of your students that choke on exams? I'd
guess that half of the failing candidates I've tested knew the material,
but lost their little minds when I wrote the start time on the board.
That bothers me a lot. I can teach them Linux, but I can't teach them calm.
A lot of students panic.
"open book" helps a little
leaving the room helps a little
They won't let me serve alcohol on campus.
I write "Don't Panic!" on the board. But those who need that advice most,
won't listen to it.
About 5 minutes before the end, I erase the "Don't".
