Problem 7 The unexpected exam: Has teacher been Hypocritical?

This is a interesting article which talk about Logic. Now I am going to discuss the question 'Has teacher been Hypocritical'

As Patricia said there will not have exam between now and the end of the term, which seems like the teacher was joking, he not really want to held a exam. Normally, this behavior like hypocritical, because he said that doesn't mean he will do that things, just because those words can make people to achieve other aims. I think teacher do this because he want to motivate his student to work hard, like Bob said in this case study. Also this idea possible is a real test,just do not need paper and pen, only need these students to thinking, and then it can reflect how those students logic thinking. Bob and Pracitia here are different example, Bob thinks they will have exam and he wants to read all text book before the test day, I think this is a little bit cheating, because short term memorise do not mean can remember for a long time, past the exam doesn't mean it will be fine in the future, so for teacher simple thinking of Bob is a result for this testing. In another hand, Pariticia is a good example for use logic thinking to pass the exam, because she thinking about teacher might be have a joke with them, teacher does not want to have a real test, just according to this way to receive the information of his students which is how will they thin of this question and deal with it. Also, if it a no paper exam, the result of particia is good, because she use logic thinking to solve the question.

Therefore, if teacher hypocritical or not depends on what does the teacher think about, and basis on it the teacher must want to motivate students to work harder harder and harder.!!!!!!!!!
