A is just a grade..

my current occupation is a student. thus i am expected to undergo a series of questionnaire set by the lecturers that can estimate my current standings in studies.

it is a good thing that we students have exams. through them, we are reminded to study and recall all the things that have been learnt.

so, does it mean that the good grade u get actually shows how good you are?

im sure we are familiar with past questions in this higher institution of ours. do you think that the lecturers are that hardworking to come out with new fresh questions for every group that comes in?

my dad is a lecturer and the answer is NO. just like a student, even our lecturers would find ways to cut this work short. my dad admitted that he usually recycled question papers for every upcoming batch. and he has been doing this for the past 15 years. sometimes, he would reword the questions just so that they appear to be different.

so, to all the students, please steal some moment off from your seniors and ask for the questionnaires. with the availability of the camera phone, im sure some of us would take a quick snap at them. there is no wrong with learning this way. it's education afterall! =)
