Lecturer: You know what the deal with exams is, right?
Students: *blank stare*
Lecturer: It’s about marks, not knowledge.

  2. It’s honest, anyway, even if it isn’t what any of us would really like to hear.

  3. Tell me about it…when I took my PDE’s for School up here in Canadaland it was the same story. 6 Months worth of Classes = 50% of your total Mark. 2 Hour Exam = 50% of your Mark. Fair? I think not.

  4. hugh :: I know they want people to pass but their actions show otherwise. For example like Abraxus said such a large percentage of grade depends on just what you have time to put down to paper in 2 hours. It’s like a race against time as noone can answer all the questions fully in 2 hours.

    fairyhedgehog :: Indeed. The way the education system works is not right but I know that as a student I would never be satisfied no matter what they did. We have a tendency of complaining about everything and in some cases even if we shouldn’t be.

    Abraxus :: Exactly. And as if that wasn’t enough the time we’re given is not enough to answer everything.
