Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Exam day. I finished the questionnaire at around 9pm last night, and had the 6 pages to be photostencilled this morning.

The first three pages of the exam were for the blank columns of the nine (32 points total) zodiac constellation calendar questions.

The fourth page was for the 19 questions (2 points each) on the 15 constellations we have discussed so far.

The last two pages were the 30 multiple choice questions on the two cycles of nature we've taken up: day and night and the phases of the moon. At the last minute I decided against using the short answer sheet to be shaded, despite having exactly 30 items for the purpose of using it.

First time, in my memory, that the cycles of nature are in a test with any other topic, instead of being in the finals like the last so many trimesters.

Except for the part "For questions 1 and 3, use the following choices", which was expanded from "1 and 2", there were no corrections, at which I'm relieved. And no one in the first two classes even noticed that error.

The 1030am class finished way before the time though, while in the 1250pm class, some students took until then end of the hour-and-a-half period. The 230pm class also had some students who took the whole period.

Either the Education majors are just more thorough than the Business & Economics students or they really had a difficult time with the exam.

I also really have to emphasize next time that they have to leave the room as soon as they finish the exam, because it's the first time someone complained when two people beside her were discussing the answers, and not as quietly as they believed.

Lastly, no one told me it was CBE day. Some students in my first class actually wore the shirt (I guess they were organizers). Usually, there would be a memo requesting no exams on this day to encourage the students to join the activities (and be absent). Okay, maybe that's the reason right there.
