How Not To Give a Legitimate Test 101
Ugh...so I'm taking Japanese 101 at community college because I missed learning and such. However, I think I could teach it better than the professor (who thinks rote memorization is the answer to life, the universe, and everything...).
Take the third "test" for the class. Ostensibly, it should test material we should actual know, yes?
Or not...
Round 1: Ability to say Japanese tongue twisters. (Supposedly to make us work as a team...even though we had to do them all individually...).
Round 2: Sing a song in Japanese. Not a test of Japanese ability, a test of singing ability. Thank the lord I am fairly good at this. Also thank the Lord yatsuka was in my group.
Round 3 AKA the legitimate content round AKA why you never want to be in competition with tiny Korean girls: You had to grab the Hiragana characters that she called out. However there were several times I thought this might result in a brawl. Or scratching with nails. Or being womped by some Korean girls who became almost like objects of terror...
Round 4: Calligraphy...not how well you can write the Kanji (only about 5 of us have advanced to the Kanji group), but how...artistically you could write them. I ended up writing "Cherry Blossom, Noble, Light, Cow, Power" (and then commented to my friend that this sounded like a terrible magical girl attack). Also, subjective much? I just voted for my own group for the A and then I voted for good group for the B.
What? What? What?
Also, after playing it through again (although I'm not quite done), FF8's story is still crap. I now think it had potential...but, well...
Also, also...Hello!
