There wasn't a hint of swagger in his actions; the entire process was silent, and even his retreating figure couldn't be considered dashing but instead bore a hint of loneliness.
Just as Zhu Hongbing was still savoring the meaning behind the "thank you," he suddenly heard someone crying out loud in the exam room.
Glancing over, a girl who usually had average grades in the class had actually started crying outright, and Zhu Hongbing could even see her tears uncontrollably falling down...
The exam room instantly became lively.
Some were still staring blankly at Qiao Ze's retreating back, while half of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the crying student, though their expressions were hardly any better, devoid of sympathy, filled with self-pity...
Even the graduate student who had been standing by the window looking at the exam papers since the start of the exam raised his head blankly, looking towards the emotionally complex exam room.
Could it be that serious? To actually make people cry from an exam?
Before Zhu Hongbing could come to his senses, more sobs suddenly began to rise within the exam room...
Now, even Zhu Hongbing couldn't keep silent anymore.
This was a time when anything could fall apart, but their morale couldn't!
Otherwise, where would he go to find points on those immaculately clean papers later?
Look at how things had turned out.
"Cough cough, alright, everyone, pull yourselves together! After all, the regular grades account for forty points, and this paper is indeed quite difficult, but you only need thirty points to ensure a passing grade. This year's final exam GPA will also be determined based on the comprehensive evaluation of everyone's performance, excluding Qiao Ze, so don't feel pressured.
Don't think about comparing yourselves with Qiao Ze either; he's a transfer student and his grades aren't counted! Get back to the exam seriously, and if you really can't finish it in the end, I will consider giving you some extra time. Now, focus on your papers!"
Really, having Zhu Hongbing, known to these students as Iron-faced Zhu, say these words was already asking a lot of him.
But he still went over to the first girl who was sobbing quietly and began to comfort her as best as he could.
Being a teacher was damn hard!
Su Mucheng shifted her attention away from Qiao Ze's disappearing figure and glanced at the student being consoled by Zhu Hongbing. She let out a soft sigh, then buried her head and continued to look at the problems.
Why is the difficulty level of the discussion topics so high?!
Ah... ninety points, it's a bit iffy...
As for Chen Yiwen, she didn't even bother to raise her head.
Can't even withstand this much?
Ah, and they don't even know to what stage Qiao Ze's project has progressed!
If they knew, wouldn't they hang themselves?
This ability to withstand pressure is way too weak, isn't it?
If I can't score a hundred, can't I still score thirty?!
The news that a half-open-book exam in the Foundation Mathematics class had reduced people to tears quickly spread throughout the entire School of Mathematics over the course of a lunch break.
Along with the spread of the news came a hand-copied version of the examination paper.
There was no helping it; the main feature of this exam paper was the few but difficult problems, Iron-faced Zhu had given plenty of time, and there were actually quite a few students sitting there unable to solve the problems with no confidence to hand in the paper early. Boredom inevitably led them to find something to do.
And as long as you didn't copy the multiple-choice questions, the rest of the big questions were completely effortless to copy.
The effect was especially evident.
The students from the other majors within the School of Mathematics immediately stopped envying those poor kids in the Foundation Mathematics class.
It was proven that for the problem on indefinite integrals in the exam paper, these kids directly turned to software, but even using MMA they couldn't figure it out!
What good is a lousy A4 paper covered in formulas and theorems—what if you brought a computer, you'd still be stumped, right?
The school's so impressive, why not just go ahead and test on the Riemann Hypothesis?!
A whole row of neat zeros...
