I went religiously to the TA’s sections, did the textbook reading, did great on all the quizzes, aced the midterm, and figured I’d be fine.

Then the final turned out to be all about US monetary history from 1930 to the present, which (to be fair) WAS on the syllabus, but had conveniently never been discussed in the sections…I was lucky to get a B.

Silly non-stationary information-dissemination processes!
