Ya ya Papaya..

Back again..

Let me continue with my story, but at another area of it. Studies..

Recently, i felt very cheated after a test.. As you all may know, that i take studies pretty seriously this time.. I mean i feel i'm not giving 100%, but i try my best.. I mean come on, it's studies, i'm not a bookworm kinda guy.. I dun do well with memorising..

So anyway, there i was, i took 1.5 days off work to study for a mid-sem test.. 5 topics were tested.. So the background is this.. For all the subjects i've taken so far, there is a course guide. Inside the course guide, there are many things written, like what this course about, summary of the stuff we are about to learn, and most importantly, they tell us the tutorial questions that we ought to do after each lecture..

Every course guide that i've read, that is the format.. They tell us what tutorial questions to do after each lecture topic. And i've used those tutorial questions when i am practising for tests/exams.. Also, they will post the answers to the tutorial questions online, easier for self revision if u ask me.. So obviously, that is what i will do for all 3 subjects i'm taking this sem.

So for this subject's test that i was studying for, was abit different. Normally, in the textbook there are like 30-40 questions after each topic, but the course guide normally picks out the more relevant few, prob abt 10 questions to practise.. It was the same for this particular subject.. The course guide highlighted the "essential" questions for each lecture topic..

The only difference is the answers provided.. Normally the other subjects give answers for the selected few questions that are picked out of the textbook as provided by the course guide.. But for this subject, they provided answers for all the questions, even those not considered as "essential". So you can imagine, answers for like 30-40 questions.. Each topic, their tutorial answers are like 14 pages long on average. So 5 topics would be like an estimate of 150 questions, 70 pages long..

Logically speaking, for a test, practising 150 different questions doesnt sound very practical or even sound.. Doing the "essential" questions which is about 5-7 questions per topic, totalling to 25-35 questions in total, sounds reasonable and more likely.. So obviously, i started practising on this "essential" questions..

I was fairly confident as i've covered almost all the 25-35 questions, just that, there was a lot of theory, impossible to memorise, but i roughly knew what the answers are likely to be kinda thing..

But to my horror, when i saw the paper, i totally didnt know how to do one of the questions.. It was like nvr even practise before.. Sure it was in the lecture slides.. One topic has like 40-50 plus lecture slides, prob that qn comprised of less than 5 slides? It was so insignificant that when i read thru the slides, i hardly even noticed that part..

I was still telling my friend before the test, i dun think they will come out questions outside the "essential" questions rite? I mean if they do, means i die loh.. And i died.. Cos i really dunno how to do.. And i was forced to resort to a smelly trick to counter the lowblow i received from RMIT.. I copied someone's answers.. Yup, not totally proud of it, but i was desperate, cos i look at the question, the question look back at me, and all i know is my answer script is blank.. Since our lecture theatres are sloped, i could see the person's answer infront of me.. Obviously i cant see it crystal clear, but i managed to get some of it..

But not the important point.. There i was, feeling so cheated and down already.. I mean that's the kind of feeling that suck.. U try hard for something, but u dun succeed.. U wanna be disappointed, but u know u did ur best already.. Den what? The empty feeling comes.. I mean if i din study, and i din know how to do, i can blame myself.. I dun feel so injustice.. But this had to happen..

Nvm, feeling sucky already.. Straightaway after test, begin a 1 hour lecture.. But while we were doing the test, the lecturer took the time to find the questions in our textbook.. And he managed to match all our question in our test with the textbook questions.. So he felt very "ya ya".. Very proud, as if his bingo card numbers matched and he won.. So he took time after the lecture to show us which topic questions and the page number did the test questions come from..

And guess what, 80% of the questions were not the "essential" questions that the course guide gave.. WTH?!?! Is really like out of the 10 questions, 2 or 3 were the "essential" questions.. So i wanna know, WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY CALLED ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS WHEN IT IS FUCKING NOT ESSENTIAL AT ALL!!! KNNCCBFZ*$%*%#&$@* I'd rather the course guide just say do ALL the tutorial questions, or dun put a bloody "essential" word there.. No! Cannot, they wanna fucking screw your life.. They wanna play smelly.. CCB.. And we talking about actual marks here.. What if i lack one mark to a High Distinction grade? Or what if, touch wood, i lack one mark to pass? Cannot play liddat one sia.. Si bei smelly sia..

Feeling sucky at first, now plus pek chek... Then lecturer wanna chuk come out one more pattern.. Before he showed us the questions that he found in the textbook, he asked us if we found the paper difficult, the consenses was that it was difficult.. So he "ya ya" mode.. He said did you know all the questions in our test came out from the textbook? Dun believe? I show you.. He went on to show all the questions.. Then he concluded with this.. "you say the paper is difficult? I beg to differ, see, i can find all the questions in the textbook! What did i tell you during the lesson last week? I told you to do the tutorial questions right? See, never listen!"

FWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
KNNCCB#*$#%&&$@&@#@&$%^$!@@@!!!!!
Really deserve one purnch to his farce.. Like i said, all the tutorial questions would equal to 150 questions in 70 pages.. He talk until like it's 15 question in 7 pages.. Talk until so "ya ya" like it's the easiest thing to do.. We part time student leh, where got time, even full time students dun freaking do 150 questions in a week lah com one.. Den give this kind of FUCKED UP advise, "do your tutorial", still wanna so "ya ya".. KNN this kinda of advise i can give to anyone also leh.. Not like as if he told us specifically which question is coming out and we din listen.. Just a general "do your tutorial" even thou the fucking tutorial questions amount to 150, nvm, just do, never do? I told you so, dun wanna listen..

Fwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Si be jia lat..
Can u feel my pain?? Can some1 just punch that lecturer for me.. His name is Daniel Tan.. Thanks.. Wrong Daniel Tan also nvm, just wack a Daniel Tan for me can already..
