Honestly, that’d be an interesting way to have exam makeups. If you miss an exam, your test gets sent to the “exam children,” who are just random other students who get paid a certain amount for doing it, and they take your test, and whatever grade they get is what you get. If you get lucky and get someone who happens to know a lot about your class subject, you might even get a better score than you would have otherwise. But most of the time you don’t get so lucky and you get a pretty bad score. It’s a crazy idea, but that sure would be one way to encourage students not to miss exams. And signing up to be in the “exam children” could be like a one-time on-campus job, like for students who need a little extra money. Honestly, it’s not THAT bad of an idea. It sure would be interesting.

SCP-XXX: "The Class Object." *Object Class:* Euclid. *Special Containment Procedures:* SCP-XXX is not to be observed under any circumstances whatsoever. This prohibition applies to direct observation, photography, videography, audio records, artist's depictions, text descriptions, or any other form of direct or indirect observation. SCP-XXX is to remain within a standard 9X19 ft2 containment cell at Site-19, enclosed on all sides in 1" thick concrete to prevent observation by unaware personnel. *Description:* SCP-XXX is an anomaly with the anomalous property that upon viewing or in some other way being exposed to a description or record of SCP-XXX's physical properties, a given subject will expire within a timeframe of five to ten minutes. Experiments with D-class personnel have shown similarities to Foundation memetic kill agents currently in use in the autopsies of said D-class. It is unknown how the Foundation came into possession of SCP-XXX, as the majority of pertinent records were destroyed due to detailed descriptions within the original object files, which violate the current Special Containment Procedures. *Testing Log:* [Redacted] "We are never fucking _ever_ trying that again!" -Professor-Director-Lieutenant Doctor Jim Stream

What a lecture sounds like when I'm tuning it out

[@Sammeep02]

In the syllabus, it is stated: "Your final grade is required to be 81. If you do not achieve this grade you will fail the course" (Stream 2018, 3:40-3:46). Since the 81 is not followed by a percentage mark, the grade benchmark might refer to a point value, rather than a percent. Therefore, the 81 being 100% of your final grade can signify a score of 81 points out of a possible 81 (81/81), therefore passing the course with both full credit and the requisite grade. Stream goes on to comment that there are extra credit opportunities in the course (Stream 2018, 3:50-4:03); however, there is no indication as to point value per extra credit opportunity, let alone whether it will be enough to reach the 81 point threshold.
