So, I didn't study for my last midterm whatsoever . . . . .
What's wrong with me? I've known all day that I should study up a bit for this thing, and yet I don't. How strange . . . . . instead I've been on this site for a few hours again. I wonder if that'll reflect on my grade . . . . .
So it sounds like a LOT of people did poorly on that CompSci midterm. I'm not completely surprised. It's a 1st-year science course and that midterm was the first test of the semester.
Here's where it gets interesting: students are COMPLAINING about the difficulty of that test!
On the messageboard people are saying that that was a really hard test, and that the next midterm should count as 100% of the midterm grade; still others say that the best-mark midterm should be what reflects the final grade and stuff.
I mean, come on! Do these people SERIOUSLY think that professors and TAs will simply give in to a mob because they fear they won't all be getting 80% or higher? All I can say is, "Welcome to University, kids!"
Honestly. It's hard to get into lots of schools nowadays. In most cases, these science students are used to getting A's in all their courses (perhaps many of you are A students as well!). And once they find out that they're small fish in a big lake again, well . . . . . they're in for a whole lotta disappointment . . .
So please let me tell you all now: for those of you who are going to go into post-secondary school soon, do your best. And when you get the test back and feel that your best was cheated from you, well . . . it happens. It's not the end of the world. These early midterms are what make you become better students, after all (cause you KNOW everyone's gonna study more next time around!). So yeah, that's my Thursday night / Friday morning post for ya. Next day, we'll bring back some official philosophy!
