(?) If it cannot be evaluated, I am not interested in it
I don't have any clue what evaluated means here. Understood?

Well, it depends on the discipline.

I would replace the word "logical" with "intuitive", but I suppose to some extent they mean the same thing.
By the way, this wasn't a suggestion on how to change the test, but an indication of what I'd need it to say in order to put a (5) next to it. But now that I think of it, I would also put a 5 if you said "organized" rather than logical which I think is more in the spirit of what you were asking. It bugs the heck out of me when professors get up and try to explain things in a totally haphazzard fashion. I just think the word logical vastly oversimplifies what needs to be put into a good lecture in order to make it comprehensible.
