A Chinese college has reportedly surprised the public after it included an unusual question on its final exams, asking students whether they could identify their teacher.

Students at the Sichuan Vocational College of Culture and Communication were handed papers with photos of seven people during their exams, and asked to choose their teacher and write his/her name.

Those who were able to identify their teacher did not get any extra marks, but students were punished if they answered incorrectly, having 41 points taken away from their final score. The identity test takes up 30% of their overall grade.

Hu Teng, a teacher at the college, said that it was the first time that such a question had been introduced in a class. “The purpose of this was to test students’ general attitude towards study,” he said. “We wanted to see whether students have worked hard in class and whether they have been paying attention to details. If they can’t even remember their teacher’s name, then they clearly have no interest in the lessons.”

The test has attracted much attention on Chinese social media. Some on the Sina microblog said that they thought the test was “tasteless” and admitted that they did not know or were unable to write the characters that made up their teacher’s name. However, others praised the college’s decision. One said, “Remembering a person’s name is basic respect!” Another added, “If students are not in class, of course they will not know their teachers’ names, so it’s a good question to ask!”
