2 Down, 4 more to go
Feeling so tired and unmotivated now. No idea why.. probab;ly suffering from 'Friday blues' haha. Can't believe it, I cant even allow myself to take a break on friday cos next week, I have all my core subjects coming up... one after another. I really pray hard that i can survive the week. Can be really very tiring, expecially when my life becomes so routine... rest, books.. off to exams. lunch and toilet breaks in between. ai~ sighz.. ( One more week kk.. hold on to it)
For effective comms today, I thought i din manage my time well enough. I was rushing through the last qn like mad.. obviously din think that i do well for the last qn which takes up 30 marks.. please have mercy on me. This is really an idiot proof subject. The last thing I want to see is anything less than an A on my transcript. Please.. it will look so horrible. I will really be very sad cos I think I will deserve a grade of at least and A in any case...
Well, i always think that the component structure of this module is flawed. 50 percent on assessment and another 50 percent on exams. Well, the bets part is that they will tell u that u got an A for the continuous assessment...but they never let you know the exact score. Also, the A is always subjected to moderation. Honestly, with so many unknown...might as well not reveal to the students at all! Right? I am disasppointed by the fail that many things are not transparent in the school system. The administration will certainly leave a component of the score for them to 'moderate'..should I say to manipulate? Also, my seniors have told me that it does not matter for the continuous assessment. There is a tendency for the score to be moderated downwards. Wheareas, the final paper is always the most important. ie. C for continuous assessment, A for final paper = final grade of A. If vice versa, the final grade will prob. be a B or B-, never an A. Back to effecitve communication.. so if one person cant speak well and present well... it does not matter. Pray hard to get at least a B for the continuous component and do well for the written paper... the ultimate result will be a desirable A. At the end of the day, ask that person to speak to a large crowd or make a presentation, he screws it up!! But still, on paper, he is an A student!
What is the world coming to? We need to promote greater transparency within the school. What has been set as a guideline should be adhered to strictly and not subjected to 'backdoor' moderation. I am NOT against moderation of final scores, but please, be transparent about it. Even when we ask the tutors how the system works, they do not even know! This is very ridiculous... Want to beocome a world class instituiton? Long way.. and only possible if we change the cultures and the systems.
Yours Sincerely.
