Repeat exams...

I hate repeat exams. Not as a student but as lecturer. Apperently one (1) student last term didn't make it and therefore I had to write a completly new exam paper. This is silly. To write an exam paper, I probably have to read and think more than any of the students ever did during the course. It wouldn't surpise me if the bugger doesn't show up, hence my effort will be totally waisted. OTH, I'll have some good questions for next year in store ;-)
