The snow is almost all melted and spring is in the air! That only means that summers coming and my life is only going to get busier, luckily, I have only two more papers and presentations to complete until I get my degree… oh man! It’s sooooo close! After all my procrastination, I don’t know why I wait so long! As it was easy breezy… not to knock down the program, but I’m not sure about the instructors and the grading system. The way the course works is a series of eight papers and presentations to be completed in two semesters, if you don’t hear anything back from the instructors after submitting your final draft it’s usually a good sign and you’ll be able to present. After a day and a half of presentations students are assembled into groups to go over a case, after working at it for a few hours we draw for times to present on the final day. Groups don’t usually fail this, as long as they do it… the only groups that have been said to have failed is one where two members broke out in a fist fight…a fable I’m sure. After the group presentation, student papers and presentations marks are available for pick up, typically when I receive my package of markings, I bounce… after 3 days of presentations and nerves I just want to get the hell out of dodge. When I finally got a chance to review the marking scheme I was needless to say confused! There are several points and topics that must be discussed, the instructor is to rate your presentation based on whether you “failed to meet”, “somewhat completed” or “successfully completed”… for one of my presentations the instructor checked off “Successfully Completed” for everything and guess what mark I got!?!?! I got “D”!!! WTF!?! Whatever… it’s over, I passed (barely) but I don’t have to re-do it and I will be receiving my Degree as planned :)
But like I mentioned… summer’s around the corner, and that means ---- wedding season! Just received THREE invites in the mail today, so excited, as we only had one wedding to attend last year… my smoldering eyed - co worker Jonny’s and his beautiful wife Emily.
I love weddings! Yay 2010!
