We worry that students are not grasping legal reasoning abilities.
Perhaps the perception problem is even greater than we first imagined.

A student asks special permission to take my Thursday unit exam (which
takes the entire class period) on a different day because she has three
exams on Thursday.  Then I get this e-mail from the student:

Professor Miller,
 
Sorry to bother you again, but if I am not taking the exam until Friday
should I come to class on Thursday at the usual class time?
