A ‘3 by 5’ Loophole Allows Student to Use Huge Crib Sheet

When a Maryland community college student saw on his syllabus that he could take a “3×5 card” to an exam, he saw a loophole and took advantage of the opportunity.

Reb Beatty, one of Elijah Bowen’s professors at Anne Arundel Community College, told students that they could bring a card to aid them during the upcoming exam, and he meant 3 by 5 inches.

Bowen noticed that Beatty didn’t specify a measurement and took in a 3 by 5 foot card, which helped him pass his first exam of the semester on Tuesday in his financial accounting class.
