Normally, when a professor calls on a student to answer a question, and the student fails to respond correctly, it is customary for the professor to reprimand them. If the situation is serious, the student might also have to write an additional essay with a specified word count or copy the class notes several times.
But this only applies to most students.
For good students, especially those who rank at the top of their class and carry the title of scholarship student, professors usually do not skimp on their favoritism. Even the stern Professor Emma is no exception.
For example, at this moment, Liu Feifei, although she had failed to answer the question correctly, still easily escaped the 'spotlight moment'. Professor Emma, with a face full of tender love, allowed her to sit down first—perhaps in the old lady's eyes, standing there red-faced and flustered under everyone's gaze was punishment enough for Ms. Liu to realize her mistake profoundly.
