28 october 2004

Today was the big day. The much-awaited examinations started today. You know why they are much-awaited because only if they come, they will get completed. It started with BME 501 :: Computational Methods Using C++ , though the programming part was eliminated from the syllabus at the last moment.

The partA was better for me. It contains of 10 questions which do not give the choice of writing our own question. We have to attempt all for full marks in that section. Each question carries 2 marks. The partB contains 5 units among which each unit is provided with 2 questions from which we can attempt anyone question. Each question carries 10 marks. So, the total makes 70 marks. The 30 marks for the percentage is taken from the internals already written.

All the subjects have the same type of question paper pattern but different types of settings and valuation methods. One teacher is so linient in this while some others are strict. One such teacher takes Computational Methods for us.

As far as my attempt was concerned, I did partA well but screwed up the partB. The choice of questions to be attempted was not good and the tension just crept over and over. But I am still confident that I might get a good grade in that, may not be a great one. I studied at 2:00 A.M. in the morning[yes, I pulled out a night out, and might be doing it for all the exams]. I completed the ayllabus in 3 hours. My exam started at 9:30 A.M. and continued for 3 hours. I had to
desperately sleep now, tonight.

Preview on the next exam tomorrow. Kidding...
