thank you for coming now I realize that you were summoned to this class without signing up for it and you haven't even been told what this class is about nevertheless let me tell you what the rules and procedures are this course could take a few days or a few weeks I'm not sure this course could be taught by 10 or 20 different teachers and it will involve a subject you know nothing about in fact if you knew something about the subject to be taught you couldn't take the class each teacher will give you relevant information about the subject information you'll need for the final exam however I will not tell you what is important and what isn't not only must you determine what is consequential or not you must also figure out which teachers have told you the truth and you can't take notes to remind yourself of what you've heard or what you thought was important also you may not ask your teachers any questions no matter how confusing the lectures are nor are you allowed to talk to your fellow students about anything the teachers have said even though this is normally how you go through a college course or life for that matter and while it might be helpful to have a notebook for notes course materials or even an idea of what the final exam might be about it ain't gonna happen however we will let you look at some of the materials while one of the teachers is lecturing on another important aspect of the course now I won't be telling you what is important in this course or what the rules are for the final exam until all the teachers have given their lectures when I do explain the final exam I'll spend only 15 or 20 minutes on it and I will probably use unfamiliar or technical terms that I will not explain the final will involve only one or two questions and you will have one sheet of paper to write the answer on you can then discuss the course with each other but bear in mind you will all have to agree on the same answer to receive credit for the course he will also be locked in this room until you reach agreement oh and one more thing depending on your answer someone you don't even know will either win or lose any questions good let's begin this will be a rewarding experience for all of us
