I'm getting exam scores back, and I'm horribly disappointed with them. I'm also extremely surprised by the grades, because I basically lived in the library for days preparing for the exams.
Part of the reason I didn't do so well is I clearly didn't understand the material.
But at the same time, when you're in a Cost Accounting class or similar business classes, a straight multiple choice test where you run calculations is unfair to the students.
I spent way too long in and out of class preparing for these exams for the professors to then screw me on a final by giving no partial credit. If I did an equation and got most of it right, I don't think I ought to lose the full score of the question, especially when they're 6-10 points a piece.
This ends my rant.
