Rant! Unclear diagrams on exams

This is a rant about unclear diagrams on exams.

What are they thinking when they give a test with a diagram with 20 different structures to identify, and the copy is so unclear you can't even tell which lines are pointing at which structures. Of course the teacher is not allowed to be of any assistance.... All I could really do was give a guess at the structures that are in the same general vicinity and hope that the arrows are pointing where I think they are, or that they'll take pity and give it to me right for getting the general area correct.

:banghead:

My A&P professor always brought his *original* diagrams to the test, so that anyone who couldn't quite make out where a line went could look at his originals. It was really helpful. Sorry you had to deal with that frustration! :yldhdbng:

Thumbs up for your prof! I went up to the prof and asked him if I could look at the original and his answer was, sorry, I'm not allowed to give you any assistance.

Hellllooooo, I'm not asking you to HELP me, I am asking you not to make the task more difficult or confusing than it should be.
