Well my exit review is done and over. Six faculty members graded me over eight categories on a scale of 1 (poor) to 4 (outstanding). I got straight 3s in everything, meaning "above average."
I dunno, I kind of feel like they dashed this exit review off in a haphazardly manner. They just wanted to pass us all and get it over with. My favorite professor (and honestly, the only one aside from the head of the program who I really give a fuck about) wasn't able to grade mine because his daughter got sick and he had to leave at 3. They graded mine close to last, so I wonder if they were just writing numbers.
They didn't even handpick people for the show, or list us in order of talent like they did for the midpoint review. I like seeing a list of who is considered the "best" and the "average" and the "poor." It shows me physically that I am better than this group, and most importantly I am worse than this group. I can look at other people's work and see what is separating me from them.
I'm just making excuses to be disappointed in myself, I think.
I should be really proud.
I'm considered " above average."
That's technically good.
It just feels a little like an empty gesture.
BUT DAMMIT I AM GOING TO BE PROUD OF THIS.
HEY EVERYONE! I am above average! :)
