Head is firmly down! Going out for dinner now! Wearing my waterproof boots that my better half calls wellies but were infact 200 and are not wellies at all!!!! nice and cosy!
Master of Nothing wrote: » Better that you knew nothing about it then, proper surprise:D Exams...well I've only had one so far, got 33/50 marks so not bad for a useless subject I dont care about. Tough ones are Tues (Anatomy) and Thurs (Cell Biology) so they really concern me...head shall be firmly down until Tues afternoon and the first is out of the way (and it's negative marking scheme >.<). Enjoy your dinner, in your wellies-that-you-call-boots-but-are-really-wellies :pac::D:pac:

Master of Nothing wrote: » I just can't appreciate wellies boots the same way women can :pac: Negative marking means that for example: this exam I've got has 25 multiple choice questions, and I get 15 correct and 10 wrong...normally I would get the mark for 15 correct and that is it. But with this type of marking, I would have 15 correct, minus the marks for having 10 wrong, so I essentially have marks for 5 right answers! Yes, utterly annoying way of doing things...and that lecturer told us that she expects failure rates of at least 50%, because that's the norm for the anatomy mid-term:eek: How was dinner?
