Midterm exam
Written on 11:41 AM by boy141
It's still the Dark Ages in Amini's class. I'm surprised that the classroom actually have lights and electricity. How can I describe my classroom? It's a pale-grey room with 1 2x10 glass window. Shit the window is hidden behind a wall and you can't even tell it's there. Depressing right? I'm surprised that the room isn't decorated with candles and that we're using a quill and ink to take notes (I prefer doodling pikachus).
So here's the 411 on the midterm: it's take home exam. We all know if a take home exam is given, it's fucking hard - porn star hard. Factor in my instructor can't teach and that we haven't gone over the homework, we all are going to fail. Where should I start? I can tell you that this will be a memorable post. Granted, I should've posted this yesterday, but I was fucking tired.
Let's talk about the test. Better yet, how it was dispersed. Amini instructed us to come to campus, receive our test, and go home. Why waste almost 2 gallons of gas to go to campus for 30 mins, pick up the exam, and go back to work. Why not email it or administrate it online so EVERYONE can get it whenever they feel like it and not waste time or gas. I rather save 4 dollars on gas and 2 hours of my time. The reasons Amini gave was total dog shit. Here's a list I jotted down during class:
1) I don't want people to have the test (future cheating).
2) I want you to sign the contract.
3) I want to make sure that everyone gets it.
4) If you're in the PhD program, you have to be committed.
5) I (amini) won't be there.
Yes, #5 he won't be there because he will be "out of town." What kind of dope are you smoking? Wait, let me reiterate
Associate Director, FedEx Center for Supply Chain Mgmt
Director, Enterprise Simulation & Optimization Lab (eSOL)
Professor Department of Marketing & Supply Chain Management
Okay, so your topic is "supply chain mgmt" and "optimization." Why the fuck can't you use blackboard/elearn/university's bulletin board system?! I bet you don't know how! Your approach is to save resources ie my god damn time and money(#4).
Actually, from what I learned during class is that he doesn't really know how to use a computer. I hate teachers that don't know how to use technology. Technology is supposed to benefit my life so I don't have to drive through traffic, find a god damn parking space, and walk my ass to class. Hell, if you post it online, you can actually see when people download it and say "HEY DUMBASS STUDENT, YOU SHOULD'VE DOWNLOADED IT EARLIER. I CAN SEE WHEN YOU HAD LOGGED IN AND DOWNLOADED THE EXAM." (#3)
My sister lives on campus so I made some deal with her to get the test at 9AM. Let me tell you, she was pissed as hell going there. She lives in the middle of campus and the b-school is way on the other side. Yup - total shit. Anyways, she picked up the exam and read it and was like "WTF is this mess? Why is there a watermark on the page?"
Even she agrees that this (test/class) is pure dog shit. Let's talk about #1.
There! It's all online! I scanned it and uploaded it to the net. If I had cared more, I would've typed that shit out and made it fucking searchable for users. I love the footer of each page "Exam I Copying, Reproducing, and Distribution of the Contents of this Exam is Prohibited." I feel like that sentence is grammatically incorrect. Oh, here's something about each test. My name is watermarked! Actually, it's not watermarked but inked-marked like a watermark. I have no fucking clue why the hell he did that. Shit, what i did to bypass that was to make a copy of the paper, then make a copy of that paper. The watermark was gone after the 3rd round. What a fucking douche. I still don't know why he's so afraid of people having the exam. The only way you could complete it if you had the dataset files (i'll upload that later).
#2 - I want you to sign the contract.
I turned in the stupid test, but didn't sign it. There isn't a clause in that dogshit test that says "by accepting this exam, you agree to my shitty rules." Ha! Freedom of the press or whatever. AMERICA - FUCK YEAH!
6 pages of shit. I swear my teacher has no sense of time except arriving to class and torturing us. If you look at the exam, it looks easy. The data in the datafiles look good/correct. I had estimated it would take me a day or so to complete the entire test and wouldn't worry about it being due monday.
I guessed wrong. Man, was I fucking wrong about this test. This exam should take a person at least 7 days to complete.
Amini said in class "if you have done the homework and redo the problems we've done in class, you should be fine in taking this exam."
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT. Let me explain, the homework problems are really easy. The book says "if this value is this, you don't have to do this." It takes the good route. Well for Amini's test it's basically "if you have this value, then you HAVE to do this. Good luck sucker!" It took me 40 hours to do complete it. Even I questioned if my answers were reasonable. It was fucking crazy. I started working on it mid-day Friday till 7, all of Saturday (2 to 2 AM), Sunday evening. I stayed all night at the office on sunday. I finished the bastard at 9 AM monday morning. Total dog shit. I was in such a shitty mood. I had 47 pages of pure lolness dog shit. I wanted to sprinkle my test with anthrax and just hand it in, hoping that he'll croak over while reading my paper on the john. He also wanted a copy of everything I used. I had to go to Office Depot and buy a pack of CDs just for this shitty class. I burned the shit on the CD and headed to school. I dropped the shit off at his office and said "you know, what you said in class wasn't true. I did the homework and it was still incredibly hard." He told me he designed the test like that because in real-life, you won't have data that will be correct. and I told him, "well, you should've taught us that in class. instead of moving from powerpoint to powerpoint." Yup, such a shitty teacher. I hope I get a B on the midterm, anything less, I'm raising hell again like I did with Wilkes (FU btw, hope you died choking on your wife's cock).
Oh, he gave me a hard time about not binding my test or putting it in something "presentable." WTF, it's not even on the 1st page. I told him "it didn't say that on the exam." He pointed to a stack of papers of my peers and I said "well, do you have an envelope?" He got a used one, and handed it to me. Andrew came in afternoon and broke that silence. He said he finished it in two days. Man, I want to compare my shit to his and see what it is all about.
I'll find out Thursday on what I made.
How can a 6-page, 4 problem midterm exam result in 47 pages of utter dogshit?
