sjdgdj I'm still bitter about an exam (essay answers. 16 questions, average 250 words required per question (150-350), you lost TWO POINTS for writing even one word less than designated, even if answering everything specified correctly, time: 08:00-14:00, allowed to use the reading material and googling as reference) with a question about the specific mechanisms of an obscure camera model used by pre-hollywood victor sjöström. now the thing is. that information is nowhere on the internet. the closest info is a sourceless pdf about another 1920s camera they also used. mechanism not described. the real answer was probably described in a scanned handout of a book that wasn't part of our course material. THAT OUR PROFESSOR MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN HE NEVER GIVE US
#had to write nonstop for the whole time (who schedules it over lunch like that????) resulting in 10 pages single spaced font 11. STILL. lost#like 6 points on questions i wrote like. 345 words on when 350 where required. lol. THIS WAS A 62 POINT TOTAL TEST WHERE YOU HADE TO GET A#52 TO PASS. ONLY REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE OF EXTRA CREDIT FROM A PREV OPTIONAL SEMINAR#i had studious classmates who had to redo it twice.#it was early covid so i get them trying to. idk. make tests that could be done securely at home while having no experience of doing it. but#the jump in. like. genral hall exams with two hours to go to almost physically impossible. and no acknowledgement of it. insane#“did he mention it in a lecture” i took really creepily thorough notes at the time and didnt miss any lecture
