Exam Update

Well two days have gone by and i have given 4 out of the 7 exams. However this is the first time the exams have been so vague. It started on a very bright note with the first exam being an easy one and also the one that i could complete well within the alloted time after my mid term fiasco.
i hoped things would be better this time but alas!!!!

The next three were absolutely horrible. Operations Management a subject that could have been a lot easier with some good problems but was made a hell by questions which required making some arbit assumptions which would differ between each individual. Can't imagine how will the papers be evaluated... Hope not like the mid term when nothing was even read and marks were alloted randomly...

The second was Macroeconomics. Well when the fundas of even microeco are not clear what can u expect from macro. Spent the whole night preparing for the exam and still the questions left me with a worry about what were the expected answers as the questions lacked proper clarity. And given our instructor who is more confusing than anything and we don't ask our doubts coz she assumes we are trying to ridicule her what can i expect.

And the worst part was Business ethics. Given 4 questions worth 20 marks each how can someone expect so much gassing. When u can easily answer a question in half a page why just repeat ur main ideas and points coz the question is worth a lot more marks. And asking theory in an exam for which everyone has studied for less than 2 hrs (that too is a max, average would be a lot less) what can one write.

Surely MBA involves u trying to convince others about your skills and knowledge by gassing around but this is just not it. You cannot write essays on simple points or make new macroeconomic theories to explain ur way of thinking. Serious revision is required in the exam patterns........

Don't know how will i manage my last three but hope persists for its a trip back home after that. Nothing matters in comparison. Looking forward to Delhi's winters- quilts and hot coffee
