It was the time of the 90s when one created HTML with frames. During an HTML exam we had 1 hour to create a website with 3 frames. Top, left, main. Some aligned random images and some formatted text. Kind of boring, I know. So I finished early and handed in my diskette with my homepage. To make it easy for him I added my name and class to the title.
When we got our grades I was in for a surprise since I had expected a good grade. I asked him why I didn't get a good grade. He kind of shouted at me that my task was perfectly done but I shouldn't have written my name in the title but name and address of this school. It is not a really dramatic thing but I always hated when teachers quietly assumed stuff and didn't tell us. And then handed out bad graded for totally unrelated stuff.

    90s? I had a to do that an year ago for an CS degree exam. Also teachers just like to assume some pretty important things all the time.

    @flag0 poor guy. Was it fun? I remember that we had a 3hour lecture about HTML a day before that exam and I almost died from the brutality that the boredom hit me with. It also kills me today ( but from laughter) when I think about those times. When animated gif icons have been the latest and greatest shit. Rotating envelops and blinking "under construction" signs. Way before people had a Myspace account 😂
