I would like to quibble with the "w/ terrorists" note the teacher wrote. "w/" to me means "along side" as in "chips w/ dip" or "Metallica w/ Paul Simon" so a normal with (I mean heck, it's two extra letters) would have been more appropriate.
This reads instead that the teacher does not like to have terrorists helping them out in negotiations.
I'm calling bullshit: what subject is the "test" supposed to be on? The first part (defining predator-prey and competing species relationships) appear to be biology, and the second part appears to be calculus. (And T/F questions in calculus? WTF?) It's true that calculus can be applied in biology, but the point where that happens tends to be classes where the students are well beyond being asked to define predator-prey relationships.
