Stress Building Up

Blogged this just to get the stress out!

Even though I only have one unit left, but it is by far the hardest and stupidest exam ever. Manufacturing can just go die for all I care. Damn you Nathan Scott, for using stupid marks betting system. It is so fucking retarded. My mid-sem is totally screwed because of this mark betting system. I could have passed the test, but instead I got marked off for some of my answers which I wrote wrongly. And he justified himself by saying this:

"There has been a fair amount of grumbling about my mark betting scheme. May I defend it by saying that marking 80 tests took about 10 hours of really boring work. My aim with mark betting is not only to emphasise that engineers have to know what they are talking about, but also to reduce the number of very weak answers I have to read and thus speed up the whole marking operation."

This is such bullshit. I am pretty sure in units such as MATH1010 and MATH1020 and some other units, there is even more exam papers to mark, and I don't see the lecturer putting a stupid "mark betting scheme" on the exam. As a result, some student don't even study and just do some of the questions they know the answer is definite, and ignore totally the other questions. May I say this is utter bullshit! This is not the way to study at all. In my opinion having an exam means we attempt all the questions and realise where we got it wrong when we get the answer back and never do the same mistake again.

Sigh! It's all my fault for choosing this unit for my overload unit.. I could have finished my exam last friday.. Instead I have to study till thursday for this bloody exam. I am so not used to the mark betting system. Got crap marks in my mid-sem, hopefully I don't in the final exam.

Feel like holidaying already even though I have one more exam to go. Sigh! Snap out of it Wilfred Wong!

Heard there is a lot of scaling for this exam. Well, I sure hope so.. Considering the fact I am screwed for this exam.. LOLZ! I heard seniors who got 0 marks for their mid-sem got a pass for this unit, even though they are positive they screw up the final exam as well... Sigh! Sure hope that is true.

Gtg study now! Hopefully I can something done!
