Physics bon mot: the gift

General physics bon mot

"...Tests are a gift. And great tests are a great gift. To fail the test is a misfortune. But to refuse the test is to refuse the gift, and something worse, more irrevocable, than misfortune."
--Lois McMaster Bujold

Tests, apparently, are the gifts that just keep on giving... Students usually groan after reading this quote, on the announcements page just before their first physics midterm.
