A student attending Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida just informed me that he just took a final exam for his Introduction to Computer Applications for Business course a little over an hour ago. There were 27 questions on the exam, two of which were "bonus questions."He showed me his test online after the fact. The first of the two bonus questions asked the instructor's last name. Fair enough. But the second bonus question was religious in nature. It follows:Bonus Question 02 - What Book in the Bible describes the End Times (i.e. The Seven Seals, Tribulation, Armageddon, etc.)?
A. Revelations
B. Joshua
C. Galatians
D. Leviticus
E. Genesus [sic]
F. Exodus
G. MatthewAlthough this was a bonus question, it provides an unfair disadvantage to those students who are not of a religion where they might have been exposed to the Bible or to those who are not religious at all.
No, I'm sorry - the Book of Revelations is a common reference in Western culture. Maybe his beef should be with the public school who failed to teach him at the grade and high school level.
