"The Rape Train" Note: frustration and cursing below

[rissiethebug]

So, I studied probably about 15 hours for 105. Probaby the longest I've studied for one single final. What good did it do me? None. I only completed one problem of the entire final, two others I solved with variables alone because I lacked time to calculate them out, and the first one...well, the first one I forgot even existed until the last 10 minutes of the test. So how well did I do? Well, if this was a curved class, I'd say I did fine considering everyone else in the test was as fucked as I was after the test; however, this is NOT a curved class therefore: I did baaaaaaaaaaad. He said that in the past he's dropped a question if most students do bad on it. Funny thing, the easiest question on the final (the first one) is the one I didn't do until the last 10 minutes, and thus was the worst for me on the final. So given he drops any of my latter questions, becasue they were harder and other students did badley, I actually get MORE screwed. It's always been my opinion that dropping questions is SUPER unfair to the students who thrived on the more challenging problems (sometimes at the expense of the easier ones). So here is my message to Professor Frenchy:

1.) If you are not going to give the class enough time to finish the quizzes
2.) If you are not going to give a fair final that students can a.) finish on time b.) do well on WITHOUT a curve or dropping

FUCKING CURVE!!!!

Also, dropping problems is a douche's way of curving...

...ass hole.

(In professors' defense: in hind sight I should have done the first one...well, first. But I personally thought the last 3 were easier (cause I studied the hard shit the most), but for the majority of students the first one would be the easiest, I just forgot an important component.)

Off to take my 104 final, which will be much more pleasant. Probably.
