it came out!

Sat for an exam today.. pissed. i nv do core paper until whole paper cannot do one.. nv learn b4. nv even seen the details b4.. received tis email.. damn hilarious but damn true..

-extract from an email i received tts cc-ed to the professors of a certain module-

1) Today I had taken the exam paper, AE3002 Flight Mechanics, and I had a shock of my life! The very moment I started to attempt question 1, my whole body started to sweat all the way throughout the paper until 1130am... even in the air-conditioned hall! It was like I had seen a ghost! It was also the first time I had swallowed so much saliva during examination in my life.

2) The questions 3 and 4 were really different from what we had been trained to do. We had been practising with eigenvalues in the tutorials. However, eigenvalues were not tested today. Instead, we were being tested on something else. To be honest, I didn't even know what the questions were asking! How was I supposed to come out with the answers when I didn't even know the questions? Were they supposed to be questions to be answered or questions for us to ask more questions about? It was not that we didn't study, but what we studied didn't actually come out and what we didn't study actually come out!

3) It is like we were being taught to pitch up a canvas tent in our tutorials for the past few months. However, on the day of examination, when we entered the exam hall, we were given cement, spades and drills by our invigilators, and the instruction was "Build a concrete house. - 25 marks"

It is like we were being taught to hunt down rabbits for the past few months. However, on the day of examination, we were being put in a jungle to hunt down wild tigers! A whole new, different monster from level 10! How is that possible? We are all really clever people in Aerospace. But we have to be reasonable. We didn't have enough examples for us to practise with in the first place. The total number of tutorials that we have is only 1-to-6.

It is like fighting off some aggressive tigers in a jungle with only 6 hand-guns!

On top of that, we didn't even have the proper solution answers to some of the 6 tutorials. It is like giving us 6 hand-guns and out of the 6 hand-guns, some of them do not have any bullets inside.

4) Dear Professors, we were all deeply traumised by today paper because we really had studied very hard for it. Please be reasonable in marking our answer scripts.

A Nice Girl
