Yesterday I had a reunion at the school of commerce where I supervise exams. The school is getting bigger and exam standards are becoming more exacting . The North American system is the way to go, they say. Very strict conditions and a written trace of any event during the exam which might have caused a disturbance, we also now have somewhere to report candidates who continue writing after the exam has finished. There will also be floating supervisors who check into exam rooms to see if there are problems to report, fetch more paper, offer a break during long exams etc.. If a student is committing fraud and refuses to leave the room we have to leave them in the room so that there is less disruption to the rest of the candidates. We also learnt how complicated organizing exams can be, the most difficult part is getting professors to deliver exam subjects in time!
There are 7000 students in La Rochelle at all of the universities.
La Rochelle is famous world wide as a green town, we have quite a few world firsts in that department.
La Rochelle is also the third town listed when people abroad are asked to list French towns. Paris is the first (if course!). Which town do you think is the second?
