TEI-SENSEI I HATE YOU.
I took the midterm and scored at least a B/A-, somewhere in between, and my grade?
F
An F! A bloody little F!
Anyone want to know why?
He divided the midterm into three different sections. Miss one question on any of the sections, and you recieve a 0 on that entire section. Uh, he didn't tell us this fun little fact prior to the Midterm. What a fantastic surprise, ne?!
Well I missed two (out of 12) on the first, and another two (out of 28) on the second. So oops! Those were worth 30-points-a-section, so I guess I just lost 60 points! But at least he felt sorry for me and let my mistakes "slide" on the third section. Whoo hoo, 30 points. And I guess he was in an especially chipper mood and threw in an extra 5 points for using the kanji correctly. So there I have it, a total score of 35/100 for my midterm exam.
What more can I do than be happy that I received a score at all?
I don't care what anyone says anymore, I absolutely cannot stand Tei-sensei's method of teaching this course. I've been studying the basics of Japanese and have wanted to continue my studies of Japanese since I was 12 years old, and having to go through this much stress when I almost entirely understand the material is completely unnecessary. So I messed up conjugating one of the verbs. Big deal. It's fucking Japanese. No one can learn this shit overnight - let alone a a semester and a half.
I have all of my work and assignments stored in a a binder. It anxiously awaits the day we recieve our grades, so I if and when I see an F in Japanese 102, I'm going straight to the Liberal Arts/Japanese/what-the-fuck-ever department and demanding to have another instructor (or whomever) evaluate all of my work. My grade is consistently fluctuating between D's and C's, and I knoooooow I've been doing a hell of a lot better than that.
ARGH!
So that blew off some steam. And now I almost feel guilty for bashing poor Tei-sensei. I mean he's a nice guy (NO. NO NO NO SAM WTF ARE YOU THINKING. EVIL MAN LURKS!!!!!) In other news, the roommates and I aren't going to go see the apartments tomorrow, Kara has a client coming in, so we're all going to just look around after Spring Break. I cannot wait for break! Only problem is that most of my friends don't have theirs until later this month. What am I gonna do? :(
I'm also getting tired of campus food. I never know what t eat anymore. I can only have so much spaghetti, salads, cereal, and granola bars on a daily basis. Don't even get me started on the fried foods, no thank you!
Well, that's all I've got!
Talk to ya'll soon!

EVIL MAN LURKS hahahaha. Ugh if it makes you feel any better, I just found out today that Media Law is kicking my ass :( And Japanese is kinda giving me the runaround too :(
ReplyDeleteHe's gotta be playing you for a sucker. At least I hope so. Also, I don't see why anyone would do that with a midterm exam. I mean, those are important, right? And you don't even get a second chance, do you?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just found out that I have a 40% in one of my classes so you're aren't the only one suffering out there ;______;
