Yeah it's kind of a normal human reaction to try to spite people who annoy you, but usually they don't do it in a way that threatens other people's freedoms and lives. This is something else.
Exactly. Whether it's called General Order 24 or not, the Enterprise moving into the atmosphere and into view, to show the natives what the Federation has, was the analog of Gort.
This was back in 1980 at a Community College.
Sorry, I don't remember all the minute details, I just remember that test.
I went there for like three semesters then transferred to a local private college when I finally was approved for some scholarship money.
Ah. Coincidentally, 1980 was also the year my ninth grade science teacher gave us a very similar test/exercise. I just asked by son if any of his teachers had given him that test. He says that, yes, it's still being used (or was as of 20 years ago). Three of his teachers did it, and the last time he took it was way back in elementary school.
Must have been a hot topic in Teacher Break Rooms back then.
Unsurprisingly, a quick Google search shows that undergraduate courses that focus on reading comprehension are easy to find.
Ah, my own unexamined old-school elitism bit me in the ass on that one. I stand corrected.
Trapped in my old way of thinking, and unfortunately, I still mentally exist in a pre-Google world, I neglected to consider that what used to be called remedial level English, and then basic level English courses, and used to be given course numbers under 100 and often not for credit have been bumped up to 100 level for credit courses.
And to think that my wife has been advocating for and championing that movement for more than a quarter century. Several years back, she got her institution to bump 099 Basic Writing up to 100 level.
After your post, I tried googling "College level courses focusing on reading comprehension." I haven't had a chance to dig through the links yet. I did take a very brief look at some higher level classes focusing on "Reading Comprehension." The ones I looked at appear to be designed for English Ed majors to teach reading and reading comprehension to primary and secondary school students. However, until I get a chance to read more, I should probably shut up before digging myself deeper into a hole.
Don't forget to read them for comprehension!

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I saw 3 instructions.
1. Read all the questions.
2. THEN ...
3. THEN ...
No ambiguity there, and no interpretation required. To pass the test, just read and follow the instructions.
But don't mind me, I'm just an old boomer.
Just in case anyone missed it - this is exactly what I meant when I wrote:
Not sure what critical thinking is being missed. Most of the students I had in my class doing the test assumed to just fill out the answers and solve the problems. No thinking involved.
Like Archer and Hernandez? Well I hope that's the case and I'm just overthinking this based on past experiences and that there are a lot of shifty people out there today.
Episode 2 was great. Thank god for Time Travel!
I totally didn't get the point of that scene
Typical school curriculum, then,
Yes.
That's why I passed my Logic and Critical thinking and Ethics class easily in college.
Apparently, it isn't so much how you score on the test, but how to adapt to a situation and work with what you have using your own initiative. My dad said he just got up from his chair, walked to the table at the end of the room, stood there and did the test. He filled out answers with the one half of the pencil, had the eraser to the side if he needed it.Episode 2 was great. Thank god for Time Travel!

I was given that test too, but younger (like 6th grade).
Failed it miserably!
Taught me a good lesson, though.

That's the point some of us were trying to make, though, that what seems easy and obvious to some isn't to others, and not because they're stupid, or careless, but because of how their brains work.
Let me give you an example, because we don't get a new episode until tomorrow:
When I was in Kindergarten, on my first day, it was time for us to go home. The teacher said for bus riders to go out to the left hallway, and for walkers to go to the right hallway.
I did neither. I stood in the class room and waited for her to come back and tell me where people who arrived in cars were supposed to go, because that's how I got to school.
