Exams

Its amazing how you can have an exam coming up and still have enough time to watch tv, be on internet, even contemplate watching a movie. and i did see movie in my previous semester exam!!

While it can be argued that since exams are nothing but a check of what u have learnt in the year so it should be easy... but we all know that aint the reason.. Especially considering i dont remember what was taught in the semester, and i blame the teachers we had.. There is just something about this course that people find easy to study for. Could be the dukki we have... a thin guide like book to be read for the whole paper.. and predictable question papers that are churned out.. so u can analyse and predict what will come and what wont. i pride myself on that analysis, though i end up studying enough to answer 7 of the 8 questions instead of just 5 (the required amount). So this time they decided to complicate matters by getting a compulsory question in. 4 out of 5 short 5 mark questions from anywhere... to get ppl to study more, that is if they cared about those marks. and make a common paper for 3 centres so pattern of question varies a little.

As a education evaluator, i think its a good idea to make sure ppl study more.. as a student i think its shamful the way they are complicating things. As me, i dont care. i realised it wont make a difference to how i study or how much i study.

But in the mean time, i really do enjoy this free time exams..
