A college professor at Guizhou Anshun Vocational Institute in China has been suspended after giving students in his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) a rather controversial test during their final exam.
In a bid to prepare them for real life, he, instead of giving them written exams questions, asked them to gulp down glasses of a potent Chinese whisky with an alcohol content of 60 percent in terns. He then graded them based on the number of gulps each took to finish his or her glass. Those who finished a full glass of the undiluted liquor in one gulp got a full 100 mark for their exam.
Those who could not drink failed. Photographs uploaded to social media showed that most of the students passed the test with flying colors! Several students were later reported to have been found in an inebriated state on campus. If the test was intended to be a joke, the institute’s deputy director Fu Guisheng did not see the humour in it; he suspended Gu Ming the issue.
