I had a midterm today so for my anonymous act of kindness I showed up early to class and set a few blue books around the class room. Before doing so I had to check with the TA administrating the test to see if it was okay. She agreed on account of it was only 8 blue books. Before placing them she skimmed through the books to make sure it wasn't a form of cheating. I guess what helped was that the test was mainly multiple choice and two short responses, so the blue book wasn't that important. Surprisingly most people who came in early chose not to sit directly at the seats with blue books. Whether the people who came in actually kept them or used them, I'm not completely sure but I would deduce that they did since no one turned one in before hand or asked the TA about them. I do hope that it at least made someones day.
The one mistake I will admit to doing is that I wasn't able to document the act do to the test setting but I also feel like it might have taken away from the anonymousness.
