You know what really sucks?
Going into an exam feeling prepared when you have studied 12 hours and know all the little details of everything in the slides and lectures of the course, and then going in to find that not only did most of his questions come from not his slides, but rather something he didn't talk about in class and only put in our last homework which he didn't put emphasis on.
And it was worth the most marks out of all the questions, worth about 14% of my final exam mark.
Which I got completely wrong because I assumed he wouldn't do that because of how little emphasis he put on it. So now I am left with maybe an average mark even though I probably studied at least double the time that the average person in the class got.
I don't even understand profs anymore. They need to be more consistent with their exams so that the students understand what to expect on the final so that they don't get screwed over.
Out of all 4 exams I have written, only 1 had the expected material on it. So basically going into finals I had an expected 3.8 GPA, but now with the ridiculously exams, I maybe got a 3.3. Assuming the average was on par with my judgement of how hard I thought the exams was. Wow.
What a piece of crap year.
I probably tried hardest this term and am going to get none of the GPA I wanted to show for it.
