Second Exam

wondering

Dec. 8, 2006

I felt very tired last night, most likely because of that exam. That was the subject I felt most confident among the other classes. But the professor asked quite a number of questions that I was not prepared to see, because we didn't discuss those topics in our classes. I was not happy about that but it was an open book exam, so I could try to look for answers from the text book, while if I looked up every suspicious questions in the book I would not have been able to finish it in two hours. So for the questions I couldn't quickly locate an answer in the book, I had to guess. There were two or three students submitted their answer grids only in one hour, but nothing to surprise because they are examiners from the patent office. They know these rules from their work not from this class. The rules are useful but they are not what we are supposed to learn from the class. So I don't see the point to test these rules in the exam.

Anyway that was past. Hope it would be fine.
