Couple more weeks and it'll be exams once again!! It seemed just yesterday that I was preparing myself for my first semester exams, and now it's already my third semester. Time flies by so fast.
I learnt an interesting fact in econs tutorial today. I know we all know that when teachers mark papers, they try to give grades that would have the shape of a bell curve. And we're always unhappy when they moderate the grades downward, cause then you would do worse than what you actually did. And you would especially unhappy if you were a borderline pass, that became a fail. Well, I found out that last semester, they had to moderate the micro econs grades downward because too many people were getting H1's. So, if after moderation, you still got a H1, can you imagine what your real grade must have been?? I wonder...
Also, resumes and cover letters are super irritating to write. What to include, what not to include, what format to write it in, it's like an exam all over.
