Easy Exams
Posted on April 24th, 2009 by Niket
I learn something new everyday. We just an exam this morning and I am sitting in my office grading papers.
This was an easy exam. About 50% of the problems were not something that one needs to wrack their brains on. For example: what is the temperature profile in a block of steel immersed in hot oil (repeated from last year); or asking them to describe “Least Squares Estimation” in an open book exam.
What I realised is that either they have not understood the subject matter, or the exam pressure is immense for them to be unable to answer a question, solution of which was discussed in class two days before the exam.
Did I tell you that this was an open book, open notes (with photocopied notes allowed) exam?
