Examiners are just the worst.

 

Seriously guys.

 

The difference between an A or a B sometimes lies in your HANDWRITING.

 

Handwriting is something you can practise to perfect, yes.

 

But because there's a limit, and you know... your entire life depends on it... it's kind of hard to care if your e's look like c's when the clock is ticking away at your future wages.

 

Education needs to be revamped, imo. Or at least, the way tests are handled. You could argue that this would be making 'life too easy' well... sorry... life is hard enough as an adult already.

 

This was getting done really well in the UK until the conservative party came in and screwed things around.

 

Lots of this stuff was done by coursework, students had major gaps between modules so they could study things one at a time.

 

EVERYONE was getting into university... but noooo... then comes in Right Wing BS and the fear of "my kids in Public Schools are mixing with those middle-class trash at Oxford? Unacceptable!"

 

Therefore the entire thing was switched around. Courseworks go less into your final mark and ALL modules are done in the same time-frame. This means you'll have to study As and A2 in the same time. You have to remember hundreds of pages of notes etc etc...

 

This is archaic and old fashioned, it's stupid simply stupid.

 

Evidently, marking got stricter too. It's hard not to see the correlation when geniuses in your school are getting Ds in their papers.

 

I was getting As in sociology, freaking As and As in Literature too.

 

What happened? I didn't f*ck up I just go f*cked.

 

Ended up with an overall C. And that was lucky given that everybody else were getting Es and Ds, people who are know for their intellect.

Sorry about that, but I have to get it off my chest sometimes.

 

My Handwriting is A- at least!

But yeah like 1/2 of masters-teachers just crapped on my papers.

 

I still think two kinds of University should exist. One free for the clever and genius and the other with bills to pay for above average and the mediocre...

 

Maybe some of us should better read books instead of going Uni!

This is why brothels are better.

 

No blue balls.

 

Just sex.

My handwriting is A when I can relax and I'm not concentrating on "ARRRMMAAWGGHAAWWWD 15 MINUTES LEFT TO THIS FREAKING TEST!"

 

 

That was really interesting.

 

Thanks.

 

Anymore stuff like that?

 

(no sarcasm, actually being serious.)

 

I actually found that link around a Katoku review one of BSNers posted while ago.

 

Ok,maybe these:

They will kick you out after your 3rd or 4th absence.

 

That depends on the teacher. Some of the more sadistic types will keep them on the roll just so that those students get an F on their transcripts.

 

There's no arguments happening though. The professor just lectures for the entire two and a half hours, then tells us to read from the book as homework.

 

That's the best type of homework.

 

I took one philosophy class in college.  Philosophy of Language.  It involved a lot of "thought experiments" that seemed silly to me, because science has already proved they can't happen, making them not speculative, but completely impossible.  The hypothetical is interesting to consider, of course.  "What if Germany had won WWII and conquered all of Europe?" is a great setting for your new post-apocalyptic teen lit novel, but it's not a great basis for an education.

 

What annoys me are the philosophers that ignore any research done by psychologists when they fabricate their (untested) theories. 

 

During my exams, it would take me 10 minutes to begin and think clearly because of anxiety and panic attacks at times.

still did really well tho.

 

The ones that always got me were the random topic (you have no idea what you're going to be writing about until 5 seconds before the test) essays in English classes. 

 

I never had trouble on any of the other exams. In fact, I preferred essay/short answer tests over multiple choice, and that's only because it's far easier to gain extra credit on them.

Is it though? Is it?

 

Better than giving you a research to be done on the streets or going through 15 books to write an article.

Baiting matters must be hard for him.

Well yeah, but that's an extreme, the best homework assignment is no homework assignment.

A reading homework assignment is barely different from no homework.  I bet at least half the kids don't do the reading.  And most of the other half is just skimming the heading, and a few key words from each paragraph.  I know for a fact that I'm the only one of 25 that ever did the reading for our audiology class.

Is it though? Is it?

 

Would you prefer homework that takes 6 hours to do?
