Letters to my future self

31st May - week 13, last week of classes

one other noticable difference btw singapore and australia is the education system. i've never truly understood how it could be possible that a study break is only 1 week... until this week, that is. this week's lectures are so 'impt', its possible to skip the whole term's worth of class, attend week 13's lectures and still pass the exams.

lets jus say that the scope of my revision is narrowed down by some 50-60% after this week's lectures.

exam weightages however arent as high as i think it would be like in singapore, exams here take up about 30-35% of the semester's work? and oddly enough, i actually have papers that are worth exactly as much as they weigh, ie. 35 marks.

also becos the exams dont weight so much, its technically possible to be considered to have passed the subject even b4 taking the exam (assuming u have done well, in ur class quizzes and assignments). well, i havent, or at least i dont think so, i havent borthered working the math out, but lets jus say last min work doesnt produce top results =p

i have an exam that consist of nothing but MCQ questions, 50 MCQ. woot?
and a different paper has a section A that consists of 40 MCQ questions and the whole section weighs .... 10 marks. nope, not a typo. 10 marks. 0.25m per question, brillant, aint it?
