When a student actually receives the exam, however, none of those questions are listed; instead, derisive questions about the student's character are found. No matter what the student responds, Miller awards them an F by striking them in the face with his fabled 'F Ring'.<ref>http://bblearn.missouri.edu</ref> ==Works== ===Chapters=== {{cite book\| url=~~http~~https://~~books~~archive.~~google.com~~org/~~books?id~~details/immigrationrecon00yans\| url-access=~~BFYXRgHOzgUC&pg=PA96&dq~~registration\| page=~~Kerby+A~~[https://archive.~~+Miller&as_brr=3&cd=6#v=onepage&q=Kerby%20A.%20Miller&f=false~~org/details/immigrationrecon00yans/page/96 96] \| chapter=Class, Culture, and Immigrant Group Identity in the United States\| title=Immigration reconsidered: history, sociology, and politics\| editor=Virginia Yans-McLaughlin\| publisher=Oxford University Press \| year= 1990\| isbn= ~~9780195055108~~978-0-19-505510-8 \| first=Virginia \| last=Yans-McLaughlin}} {{cite book\| url=~~http~~https://~~books~~archive.~~google.com~~org/~~books?id~~details/isbn_9780521459334\| url-access=~~fwS13CdkMDoC&pg~~registration\| page=~~PA52&dq=Kerby+A~~[https://archive.~~+Miller&as_brr=3&cd=5#v=onepage&q=Kerby%20A.%20Miller&f=false~~org/details/isbn_9780521459334/page/52 52] \| chapter=Revising ~~revisionism~~Revisionism: ~~comments~~Comments and ~~reflections~~Reflections\| title=Northern Ireland and the ~~politics~~Politics of ~~reconciliation\|~~Reconciliation ~~editors~~\|editor=Dermot Keogh, \|editor2=Michael H.
