i'm getting ready for bed soon. i'm tired. i haven't taken a break except for lunch cause my gross test is friday. i'm pretty nervous for this one, as usual i guess. i've been studying at home from the book and at the lab on the dog.
we got a couple emails from dr. troyer, our microanatomy professor, with negative feedback regarding our test last friday. now i'm worried i did worse than i think.
here's his first email from this morning:
Hello Class, We don't have the lecture exam results back yet;however, most of the lab exams have been graded. Many questions were missed because the question was not read correctly (e.g. classify vs name an epithelium). However, the high score is a 98% and there were a number of scores in the 90s; unfortunately there were also a few in the 50s and several in the 60s. Since a few questions were missed by many people, and we did some things differently in this lab exam, I have decided to give you a significant number of extra points. However, there is a caveat: I am not going to award the points until late in the semester, and how many are awarded and whether they are awarded at all depend on you.....if your attitude is good, you are taking the course seriously, you are working hard and trying to get as much out of it as possible then all the points will be awarded, and they will significantly help everyone. Another reason those of you who didn't do so well can be hopeful: we will begin extra help sessions on the multihead scope probably beginning this week.....they will probably be near the end of Thursday's lab; the sessions are optional, and are for those who got below a 70 on the lab exam. It's not unusual for students who did badly on the first exam to be among the best scores later on. Also, I apologize for the bad handwriting on the bonus questions: we were out of time and they were written in haste....we'll try to improve that in future exams. DT
then he sent another one later in the afternoon:
I have discovered much to my consternation that one of the questions on the exam could have been an unfair one because I apparently inadvertantly led some people to believe it wouldn't be on the exam. It was the one about the Haversian canal being like an extracellular lysosome...what I meant was that a question like that one that you had not been exposed to wouldn't be on the exam but that anything directly pertaining to Histology in the PBL or review or during lab is fair game even though you may have only heard about it for the first time there. Apparently some of you thought I meant this question wouldn't be on the exam. I checked and only a handful of people missed it; I have given them credit for it because the last thing we want to do is to be unfair. Also, we have changed a few graded questions to try to help you out so some of you may have a lot of ink across the top. For example on the first question we decided to accept 'transitional' even though the question obviously said 'name' the epithelium. Incidentally, the early Christmas package in extra points remains unchanged in amount as long as the conditions are met. All the best, DT
i don't think he's too happy with us.
well i have to get to bed so i make it through the week without crashing.
hi billy, i love you!

Hi, my name is Heather. I'm a 2nd year vet student.
Email me.
I love giraffes! I wish I had a pet giraffe and I would name it Mr. Giraffe. One time I had a pet elephant and his name was Loyal. I sent him a letter in The Jungle when I was in undergrad but I don't think it made it there. Loyal was cool! There's nothing better than playing with doggie and kittie poop in Parasitology, except maybe looking at all the dead stuff in necropsy. |
