‘My jaw dropped’: Sydney Uni student identifies herself in exam question

Sydney University Law student Freya Leach has expressed outrage after an assignment question included a character whom she and her peers believe was based on her.
The question in a criminal law assignment included a scenario which described a character identified as ‘Freya’, a right-wing student who has unprotected sex while HIV positive.
“To be vilified in such a graphic way, and for that to be distributed to 400 peers, makes me wonder what is going on,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
Ms Leach said she became aware of this when 20 to 30 of her peers contacted her about the use of her name in the assignment.
“It wasn’t until I opened it on Saturday that my jaw dropped and I realised it was actually me in that assignment."
According to Ms Leach, two characters who also share names with students from the course were mentioned in the exam.
“At worst, it was malicious; at best, it was utterly incompetent.”

As a university Professor myself, and having moderated hundreds of exam papers at other institutions worldwide, I have no doubt there was malicious intent behind this.

From my standpoint, I feel the point is being missed here. This maybe a decision around time constraints, as far as the examiners are concerned - they crib questions from previous papers, to save time compiling the current examination - a common practice in education. However, because the similarity between a real-life person and the individual described in the question is beyond the realms of statistical possibility, it is no wonder that the student complained. I do find it strange that the University is unable to supply the question which it "re-cycled" - that is a red flag for me. What is so secret? By not publicising the relevant papers, it leads us to believe the University is either lying, terrified of litigation, or just plain arrogant! After that lengthy preamble, my point is this: Who at that University, has the thought process which results in compiling a question involving a "right-wing" car driver, who runs over a political opponent, then goes on to have promiscuous sex with a man, knowing she has "AIDS" but not declaring it to her sexual partner? It seems that the question is a product of a warped mind - that of a degenerate. That is the point for me - who on earth dreams up these scenarios? What depraved mind thinks of all the possible political possibilities and current talking points, then includes them into (crams them into), a question on a Law exam paper? I guess we must be grateful that the mastermind behind this question did not throw "Roe v Wade" into the mix! If ever there was an advert for not going to university, this was it! They teach nothing, other than political apartheid. After 3 or 4 years, they hand you a copy of Mao's "Little Red Book" and the red flag, bumper sticker and basebell cap, all with the hammer & sickle logo on them.

I have some experience with exam question writing issues. Writers actually do use names and reference people they know as "inside jokes" thinking no one will catch them. A publisher had one in a school book in the US and a person contacted the publisher furious that her name, town, and occupation (all rather unique) were all listed. The publisher found the complaint very hard to believe but upon investigation found that an employee wrote the question as a "tribute" to a friend (note there was nothing negative or political in the question. It was a straightforward story math problem). The employee never told their "friend" they had done it or asked permission, so the publisher had to apologize and remove the problem. There wasn't anything derogatory in there at least, so it was resolved amicably as far as I know. It seemed to really be an innocent mistake. My point is, this actually happens, whether the school admits it or not. Find out who actually wrote the question and then check that person's social media. Question writers are often kept anonymous because they don't want people harassing them for answers, but the school knows.
