Step Three: Pull the longer end around, making a loop between the two. The longer end should still be slightly longer than the short one. This process should make a knot.

SFU is already notorious for those early morning 100-level math classes that defy the circadian rhythm, but this late-night slot? This is its evil twin. In April, there were 51 exams starting at 7:00 p.m. Are they testing our knowledge or testing our physical and mental endurance?  Cognitive performance relies on a mix of basic alertness, sustained attention, and executive functions like problem-solving...
