everybody be cramming for their last exams

 

[Dragonz7]

Math is gonna wreck me.. :l

 

[T-block]

201 is a heartbreaker

 

[Dragonz7]

201 is harder than 209? =( Maybe i should start going to class >.<

 

[Alphicans]

My hardest exam is out of the way, so I am happy. ****** english was the highlight of this term, and my life =D.

 

[victra♥]

201 is waaaay harder. the class average for that class is a solid 30% lower than 209 this year.

209 is so gay right now. im so behind ahoiweuhfw

 

[T-block]

lol 209 is easy mode

grats luke. you got heads on a coin flip ;D

 

[Alphicans]

**** that. Science courses are just as filled with BS, if not more. Multiple choice is horrendous.

 

[victra♥]

classic white person

multiple choice is the worst thing in the world though. Especially when you have to do so much work just to get a measly mark. Like seriously EFF. Carl knows why after the most homo exam we ever wrote yesterday.

 

[Alphicans]

When tests are 15 questions long, worth 20+% of your grade and I hear kids guess and get 2-3 right, I rage pretty hard.

 

[FalseFalco]

The whole time I was doing that multiple choice I just kept thinking "this is only worth 2 marks". I just got angrier the more time i spent on them.

You get one that takes 15 minutes to solve, and then the next one is like BEAMS ARE STRAIGHT; TRUE OR FALSE?

 

[Sraigux]

Yeah, I had the hardest final yesterday, owait, highschool has winter break

 

[x After Dawn x]

mike told me math 115 is harder than math 200 or something. after being ***** by my 114 exam last week, i'm not looking forward to taking 115

 

[T-block]

i told you that? i said math 100 is harder than 114 lol...

yes mcq are dumb. and luke, properly designed mcqs remove that luck factor by penalizing incorrect answers. i don't know why that's not standard yet - there's literally no reason not to do it -_-

 

[Imagination]

hey guys i get to compose music for a final

 

[x After Dawn x]

not you mike wong, the other mike

multiple choice question indirectly affect the answer because multiple answers given are on your mind subconciously instead of just read a question write an answer

I don't even look at the answers unless I'm not sure what I'm doing...

this is probably the biggest mind**** i've ever heard in a song

why the hell would anybody mix these two together

 

[victra♥]

i always covered up the answers of multiple choice questions while i did them. So then if i got that answer I'd pick it. If I didn't then well. Eff lol.

 

[Crusayer]

Wow wtf at DGDTJ.

Hbox slipping off his throne. Tons of upsets recently. I can't wait until what P5 will bring us now.

 

[Tyson651]

when i do mc, i read the question then read the answers right away rofl

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

^ what tyson said

 

[lemonlau36]

I enjoy multiple choice because I am lazy. I find MC to be 80% exam skills and 20% knowledge more often than not.

 

[Stevo]

^ what Sid said

(for the most part, I understand there can be some circumstances where MC tests would be very BAD)

 

[Alphicans]

when i do mc, i read the question then read the answers right away rofl

Lol same

^ what tyson said

yup

I enjoy multiple choice because I am lazy. I find MC to be 80% exam skills and 20% knowledge more often than not.

I wouldn't go that far, but there definitely is a different skill tested other than the knowledge of what is being test >_>.

 

[Tyson651]

I enjoy multiple choice because I am lazy. I find MC to be 80% exam skills and 20% knowledge more often than not.

i agree, but it depends on what subject.

i think bio mc are less exam skill, while physics mc are more exam skill lol.

i remember in first year, i basically didnt know how to do the question, but i still guessed just on what i think the number would be around, and i got most of them right lolol.

eg. if it was a projectile motion question, i'd do the projectile motion in my mind, then count the time it takes, then choose the answer closest to what i counted rofl

but bio mc, they just **** me. all the answers sound like the correct answers lol -__-

 

[T-block]

speaking of mcq, i had a question on one of my finals

Studies have shown that module testing accounts for what percentage of the cost of the software development process?
a) 3%
b) 7%
c) 5%
d) none of the above
e) depends on the scale of the software

and the answer is b. like...what kind of stupid question is that? the study probably has an accuracy of +/- 5% already -_-

 

[Tyson651]

u know what the funny thing is, i guessed b right after i read the question+mc lul

 

[FalseFalco]

Calculate the shear flow in at point A in a wooden beam under load V=200N. Point A has 2 nails spaced evenly 20 mm apart in a rectangular cross section 15x25mm, and the distance between the centroid of the cross section and the centroid of the beam is 47mm:

a) 28.3 N/mm
b) 31.4 N/mm
c) 36.9 N/mm
d) 44.1 N/mm
e) 46.0 N/mm

have fun using your intuition to solve that one

 

[Tyson651]

lol, of course it wont apply for all questions.

but for fun, ill guess d

 

[Stevo]

1/5 chance for zero work
that's as bad as your chances get in MC.

likely grade vs time spent studying is probably better at lower study times in most subjects for MC.

*This method of getting the most out of as little studying as possible is not recommended for those under probation, trying to transfer, trying to get into something, or those who have asian parents.*

 

[x After Dawn x]

carl is that physics or engg?

 

[Tyson651]

engg uses physics

 

[FalseFalco]

lol, of course it wont apply for all questions.

but for fun, ill guess d

Jokes on you I made it all up :3

It's statics Tyler. If it was physics it would be like

Calculate the shear flow in at point A in a wooden beam under load V. Point A has n nails spaced evenly s mm apart in a rectangular cross section a x b mm, and the distance between the centroid of the cross section and the centroid of the beam is d:

a) 2V/s*d*4(a*b) N/mm
b) 2V/s*2d*8(a*b) N/mm
c) 4V/s*2d*8(a*b) N/mm
d) 4V/s*d*4(a+b) N/mm
e) V/s*d*8(a+b) N/mm

= FUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[victra♥]

Engg is just a sweat orgy of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and arts. A sexy sweaty orgy.

Edit: AHAHAHAHHA CARL AHAHAHAHAHA. You just totally summarized a physics exam

 

[Dragonz7]

lol engg

After the engg 130 final some chick in front of me was crying. It was pretty hard >.>
