More school stuff! Yay! :dorkygrin:
Yesterday, we got back our math midterms. :tensed: When our instructor went over it, you could tell she was really disappointed with how her class had performed… “And this is a high-school level question. You don’t even need to know any calculus to do it! But some people still didn’t get it.” Sixty-seven people wrote the exam. Forty-four failed. Twenty-three passed. The average mark was 40%. Yikes. Despite all that, however, she’s not scaling the marks. I was quite satisfied with my own performance, since I was given close to full marks for a question which I answered incorrectly.
This morning, Bio midterms were waiting for us. “I think for some of you, this–writing a biology midterm–was a new experience.” Well, thank you for stating the obvious. This remark made me extremely nervous about my mark, so I got my friend to look at it in Chem. I did much better than I thought :tongue: Then again, I had knowledge from my grade ten Science class to back me up, so… how could I ever doubt Dr. G?
Right after Chem, I had to write a Physics midterm. I was panicking about this last night–the questions from the textbook wre extremely difficult and I couldn’t get through half of them. I planned to study in the morning/on the bus/during my other classes. Needless to say, this never happened. Luckily for me, the questions on the midterm were not as difficult as those in the textbook 😯
Finally, I also got my English midterm back today. I did better than I expected but not as well as I could have done (does that even make any sense?) I suppose I’m not really satisfied with my mark, especially considering the fact that I really feel my first response was much stronger than my second and yet I scored higher on the second, which was, for lack of a better term, “rambly.” And for heaven’s sake, who gives out marks in increments of 0.25?! Oh well. Time to actually read Paradise Lost.
