Finally a much needed rest! I was really shagged out near the end of the sem, and reached boiling points when my group mates do not produce the sort of work I deem fit to submit.. Or the fact that I can only study abt 5 hours a day cos anything more, i cant concentrate or absorb any more knowledge..
I just wanna sum up this subject that i take this semester, Corporate accounting.. Taken from a quote off The Big Bang Theory, "What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis? The answer - screwed" SCREWED.. The most suitable word i can use to describe my batch who took Corporate accounting this semester..
It all started with our class test and my obnoxious lecturer who gave a stupid advise to do my tutorials and dare gloat about it as if we din listen to him. We did do the tutorials, but not ALL, cos it was near impossible!
Next, he came up with this theory that, if we din voice out our questions about our project in front of the whole class, he will not answer our questions after that in private becos it isnt "fair" to other students. Firstly, if we make the effort to come down after class to ask you, I dun see why is it unfair to other students. Cos if we give a shit to ask about it, den credit to us.. But NOOOO, he wanted to play an exclusive asshole this semester..
*Inserting note here -> Every1 else i know say he is a good lecturer, and he is helpful by providing important notes to us, but all were dumbfounded when I told them tales of his evil side*
And the last part, no fault of his, but still screwed me pretty badly was the final exam.. Let me explain first about certain subjects and their respective exams.. For e.g, if you took a Principle of Accounts (POA) exam, you know the "big" question would be the Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss Statement or if you took a Economics exam, the "big" question would probably be the graphs part if memory doesnt fail me. These are "big" questions cos they are the hardest to understand and score, plus the lecture notes would focus on these topics.
It's similar for Corporate Accounting, and from past year papers, the "big" question can go as high as 40 marks! It's no surprise that this "big" question covers over 3 lectures! Yes, 3 lectures just to cover this topic. Naturally, using common sense, you'd concentrate on it cos if u can score for it, u know half the battle is won already..
BUT, RMIT decided to screw with us.. They set an easier question for those 3 lecture topic and gave it 18 marks.. 18 marks!! I spent so long trying to understand all the entries and theory, just to score 18 marks! I focused on the "big" question and did not study those smaller ones... As a result, I am screwed..
Even the obnoxious lecturer whom I met after exiting the exam room, was surprised that the "big" question was awarded so little marks, to think he concentrate so much on it.. He concluded it was a "good" paper cos it covered all the topics.. SCREW HIM really.. It's only a "good" paper if I can score well..
This is the story of how I was screwed.. And probably a picture that best reflect on how I felt/look after the paper would be this..
