I did a paper for my masters recently that I was certain would either get me a fail or just barely a pass.

See, I couldn't be bothered actually doing any work, so rather than write an entire essay on a subject I was already quite bored of, I figured I could just pilfer liberally from a dissertation I did for my degree on the same subject. The problem being that that particular piece of work was my only outright fail (I just barely managed to squeeze a 2:1 overall).

In the end, the paper I wound up handing in was almost word for word stolen from that dissertation. This time, however, it wound up getting one of the highest marks in the class.

From this I concluded that either my original dissertation tutor hated me, or my masters tutor has a secret crush on me. Given that my masters tutor's far hunkier, I know which I'd like to believe.

It happened several times to me. I think the tests are going to be hard, but they end up being insanly easy, mostly becuase most of the test I have given were multiple choice.

Well, my dissertation tutor was Chris Lee. My Masters tutor is Andy Walker. You do the math!

Also, have you read my blog yet? I'm pretty proud of it.

But Chris Lee loved you! Ahhh, Andy Walker. :heart: How I'd like to bum him.

:disgust: And yes I've read your blog bitch, now read mine and don't test me! I have a scanner and I'm not afraid to use it!

It has happened a couple of times for me, always in a class where the professor curves the test somehow. For instance, earlier this semester in my Searching Electronic Databases class, I thought I'd be getting a 100/150 at best on the midterm exam, but I ended up getting a 130/150 because anything that was even close to the right answer, got full credit.

Well, I just did. And you'll find a nice, friendly response to your latest entry explaining exactly why I'm not a cunt.

Ok, the scanner stays put.




For now. :whistle:

lol how about all the time! Some of the best test results I've gotten back were among some of the tests I initially thought I did terrible on.
