I wanted to give students an opportunity to demonstrate a bit of creativity on the final, and give me a bit of a of a bright spot while marking, and so the final question on my final exam was the following:
I had many excellent examples from my students, some of which made me laugh out loud. To avoid this becoming a whole poetry collection, I limited myself to five students, asking if I could post their haikus with their permission.
Without further ado, in a random order:
With Tamed Lightning,
A world solemnly marches,
Keeping rhythmic time
☆
Winter, sun shines not,
Though not halting cosmic rays
A bit flips, blue screen
☆
The Stack Canary
Sings a song to keep away
Those who come to play
☆
Pipelines make it fast
But cause debilitating
headaches for students
☆
Never Code in C,
Not Good for Security,
Segmentation Fault
☆
This was a nice little exercise in fun. Next final I’ll ask for permission to use them on the final themselves, just to avoid having to bother students later!
