Phew!!! Finally all my 5 papers are DAMN OVER!!!! I must be crazy to take an additional module this sem especially when the extra module is one blardy killer subject. I'm crossing my fingers, my arms or whatever I can cross in hoping that I don't fail any of my papers.
The unis here are a bunch of money suckers. I haven’t even done with my current semester and I already received the fees for the following sem...This sem alone my fees have amounted to a nice whooping 9 OZ grand. My mum already freak out when I told her I'm gonna flung one of my papers.
Mama: Eh, kau jangan main-main Farahdillah!!
I literally hate it when anyone calls me by my full name; all thanks to my mum coz whenever she mentions my full name, she means BUSINESS!
In my whole history of being a student, I've never witnessed anyone leaving the exam room within the first five minutes after the commencement of the writing time... Within an hour, half the class is already empty...N this is a three hour paper mind you that is worth 500 marks!
Our American tutor who's also the course co-ordinator sets such ridiculous high standards...I wouldn't mind of such standards if I were to enrol in Harvard Business School but the fact that my school is not even in the world's top 100 universities ranking obviously doesn't justify to any of her standards.
Some of her standards in receiving a PASS mark for the exam (just a PASS okay, we can simply dream of getting a credit) were: We have to MEMORISE our whole textbook and some other journal articles which consisted more than a thousand pages. She even prescribed the number of words we should write. In a minute, a student should have written a decent 20 words count. Therefore in a thirty minute essay, a student must/should write at least a minimum of 600 words.
The best part, 3 days before my first exam, I received a mass email from her stating that she refused to mark our assignments as she claims our standards did not meet her expectations. She elaborated that nearly the whole co-hort had failed her assignment and she gave us 2 options and made us sign a declaration form: Either to re-do the assignment but the highest mark we could obtain is just a low credit or to submit our piece of original assignment but we are risking ourselves in getting a big FAT "F". What The FCUK rite??!
Obviously, I chose the latter as I simply couldn't be bothered with her assignment anymore... Thankfully, I did better that I've expected. But what pisses me off is that she refused to provide any individual feedback to us.
Luckily, some brave souls raised this whole issue to the higher authority. Petition was circulated to complain on the discrepancies of our module. The whole co-hort had a meeting with the Director and the Admin. Manager and everyone were literally bombarding our tutor. The situation got soo intense during the meeting that there was a point of time, some of us actually broke down into tears. I've never experienced such tremendous amount of stress. Worst, I'm having PMS during my exams period!
Oh well, I'm glad that the school is on the students' side and the exam papers are mark by an independent assessor appointed by the school. Students who failed the previous assignment are given a chance to appeal their new marks. I wonder what actions are taken to my tutor. I reckon she must be too embarrass with this whole issue that she must have buried her head in the deepest pit *I WISH!*
No more school's talk. Now I can finally enjoy my holidays in peace. I'm anticipating for my baybeh's arrival~wooooweeeeeeeeh!! I've not been treating him nice lately thanx to my PMS and exams... But my darlin bacin; I will make it up to you with loads of tender-loving-care once u r here okay!!
P.S: My dear Sabby n Bam-Bam, I'm soo JEALOUS OKAY seeing those PICS!! U gals purposely rub to my face
