Inventions - Examination Regulations

Author: TS / Labels: , , , , ,

What? Examination Regulations? Have you gone totally nuts and not just nuts anymore? Why should it be a cool invention? You know, if there actually are ex. reg. (just abbreviate it) then they can be helpful. They might not be to everybody's liking but at least they can help you structure your studies... IF there weren't some stupid teachers/ lecturers who think they are something better.

At our institute for Applied Anglo-American Studies we have such a nice person. You try to tell him that there are regulations and that a certificate for the course has to have a certain layout he comes right back at you stating he doesn't want his seminar to just be a number and that an oral exam is not enough for you. An additional essay would be just fine: you're a lazy student, you're bored anyway, right? What he doesn't understand is that there are ex. reg. YES, THEY EXIST, even at our university, not just in some West German cities like Heidelberg or Münster. And if you don't know what's in there or how to calculate our results you should have a look at them.

But even with idiots like him you still have your ex. reg. Because in case anything goes wrong you can just take it and show that the overly nice teacher must be bored and that you don't need to prove more than you already have to, which is usually A LOT.

You shouldn't comment on or worry about the triple A-department... They are not worth it... And, you know, sometimes useless things tend to disappear somehow...

I just hoped useless PEOPLE would disappear... I hate that guy. Why does Martin v. Schilling leave us? That Martin could leave and I think he'd do some more students a favor^^

You may be right, but people like MvS deserve to work with colleagues that are not like the ones over here. You'll see, all the good guys leave us and people like triple-A stay and will be even more in the future. Change can only happen if justice will be done. But... it won't...

Well, as MvS said, Marjorie wasn't too bad ;) But yes, AAA sucks. But our nice didactics teachers isn't the best either... the one in history is MUUUUUUCH better. I've learnt so much from him already :)

Sina said...

The thing is... Marjorie is going to leave sooner then anyone wants to imagine. This is a fact. UK (the lecturer) is one of the worst... He can not even pretend to know something...

P.S.: Yeah, I'm quite bored today... That's why I'm commenting ;)
