"This is Zamanbol, one of just ten eagle huntresses in Mongolia keeping this old tradition alive. She's part of a Kazakh nomad family living in the Altai region of Mongolia. During the week, she goes to school in the city; on the weekends she visits her family and trains with her bird of prey alongside her brother."

I had an Art History professor who asked the class what questions they would like on the exams AND followed through with it.
