Proctoring An Exam

I am in the midst of proctoring my last final examination for this semester. It is a comprehensive final exam for my anatomy and physiology students. They are working feverishly at the moment. You can see the exhaustion in their faces as many of them likely stayed awake all night trying to recall and/or cram some last minute details into their brain.

I admit the course is a tough one. But, it damn well needs to be as this is *the* primary course that will lay the path for them to become future health care providers (nurses, doctors, dentists, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, and even an occasional pharmacist) or biology researchers or future science teachers.

As the exam for this course typically falls on Thursday, it is often most student's last final of the semester, and for many, tonight will be spent celebrating at one of the various watering holes around and near campus. I often get invited to spend some time with the students at these bars and taverns. I am not sure if I will go tonight or not.
