One Screwed, Few to Go
Yup, just finished my first paper this afternoon, Interactive Media. And omg, I think I kind of screwed it up. What a great way to start my semester 2 of exams.
For a start, this was a very strange module, as throughout the whole semester, the NM guys and I just could not understand what this module was teaching, as the lectures perhaps had more funny interactive pictures and youtube videos than there were words. So how to study? In the end we just relied on the tips from the lecturer, and found that hey, with her tips, there were actually quite a few substantial things to study. But one thing I noticed was that, everything that was worth studying, had nothing to do with 'Interactive Media' at all, and I commented to remy about this. But guess what, they exam made me eat my words. Questions we assumed were almost impossible to come out did come out, and it left us all stunt. Furthermore, only half of the tips were accurate. To think that the lecturer still told us before the paper that the questions were going to be 'easy' questions. Oh boy, in fact, there was a question whereby after the paper I went back to look at the notes, and I still couldn't really find the correct source or answer. And oh, what made it all worse, was that there were 5 questions, and all were compulsory. Bleah, wheres the freedom of choice!
I would rate this paper as one of the worse I have done so far in my short term at NUS, but you know what, I am not really feeling all that bad about it. Quite surprisingly indeed. For one, its because of the experience from last semester. Last semester I spotted alot of topics for the few modules I had, and to my surprise, almost all of 'spottings' came true. Many a times I flipped to the question paper and I knew that I had the answers to all of them, just that I needed time to reproduce them onto the answer sheet. In fact, by the end of the exams, I was happy that I could answer almost practically all my exam questions, except for one, that is the 'describe the picture' question for soci paper. I actually had only the last 10 minutes do that section, and I had to resort to leaving a space after every line just to fill up just one page. And guess what, I didn't do so well for all the rest of my modules, except soci.
Morale of the story, well from my point of view at least. Exams and the marking of scripts are really unpredictable. Who knows, the rubbish I wrote today may turn out well, but then again, it may all go down the dumps. So, don't fret over your papers now, because you will really never know whether it will turn out as expected. Then again, this is no excuse to not study. To the next paper, theories .....
