So for my last oral exam, I got a very narrow topic to talk about by my examiner (after not getting anything at all and then a “sorry, your topic is far too broad).

I’m supposed to talk about some historians’ opinions about a historical event. The thing is, this very same list of people with the very same arguments I’m supposed to be talking about are on the historical event’s Wikipedia page. So the prof either wrote the Wikipedia page or just looked at it, went “Eh, close enough” and then assigned me the topic.

I think I want to become a prof.
