does it really explain how I feel right now? I'm not entirely sure. I am at the brink of blending my lecturers organs.
Usually, lecturers will scale up exam marks to help their students achieve better in their exams, but for Ausmat, its somehow different. its like, the lower you scale the higher people will think of you. I think thats what they think, because they fucking scaled my eald (english) all the way down till the yonder. me & al called abi and asked her why is it possible that some students are scaled up and some students are scaled down. she asked us if that person was from the same class as us, so we said no, and she said, then you have to ask Miss Julia ( another EALD lecturer) . take note to that aite, marks are scaled by our own lecturers..she said that scaling is done by microsoft excel. -.- i didnt know excel had a mind of its own. Miss Abi also said that it depends on class performance( indirectly means we should dance in class to get marks la then? ) , plus it is SUBJECTIVE. enlighten me please, what do you mean SUBJECTIVE? and mind you, those that got 76 got scaled UP and even those that had 80+ was scaled up too.



I manage to retrieve some answers today from Miss V. and no, it made no sense at all. she said, that the scaling thing depends on our other subjects, so its like, if almost every other subject is 60+ and ur english is like 80+. you will be scaled DOWN to the APPROPRIATE marks through STATISTICS. its somehow ALL ABOUT STATISTICS. lets see, so if i work really hard for english and my other subs suck, my english will be scaled down to an appropriate mark, meaning not as hard as how I worked for. AND miss V. also said that the marks are scaled down by miss Ruma and not graded by our lecturers. So , lets rewind abit okay? back to the bold dark blue words. so our marks are graded by WHO? i'm abit confused now you see, 2 different people saying 2 different things. and no, im not done yet. Miss V also mentioned that scaling down is for our own good, so when they send the results to australia, them australians would think we malaysians are STRICT in grading and scale us UP. that , i think was the most pathetic thing i've ever heard, I'd rather her NOT say it. so if those people that were already scaled up, get scaled up again la? it would be EVEN MORE unfair to us no?


i'm a college student and i'm not stupid. my mom's a college lecturer and she's not stupid. My dad did statistics and teach Excel his whole life and He's not stupid. so who are we kidding here? If you're trying to say that my ELD marks are too high so you're scaling it down, you're bullshitting even more. I hope miss Ruma says something smart and at least something that makes sense to me and daddy tmr if not I won't be having good night sleeps anymore. don't get me wrong but i love miss V, she's like the best lecturer in ausmat.

all in all,
miss Abi screwed up. she needs the bang bang boom. she needs to start thinking twice before saying something that doesn't make any sense. she needs to remember that being stupid, doesn't mean you can get away with anything. she needs selection pressure to ensure a not so stupid kid can be born.
