So, yesterday, or Friday since it will probably take more than 10 minutes to post this, I took my first quiz/test thing for Illustrator. It was over the toolbar and all the shortcuts it has. There were roughly 70-75 questions (or 140-150 if you count the shortcuts) of which I answered about 80%. I feel secure in saying I totally bombed this test/quiz, and I think we are having another Wednesday over ALL THE REST OF THE SHORTCUTS. It is amusing to me that we are being given tests this detailed this soon over a program that nearly none of us have at home and that we have slightly limited access to due to classes being taught there. Also, toss the messed up lab hours into the mix and there could be a lot of bitching going on...oh well. Oh, and immediatly after getting home from taking/failing that test I opened a letter from Ivy Tech...I am on the Dean's List. What kinda message am I supposed to get from that?

I just finished my weekly quiz in Art History. Online quizes/tests are lame. They really need to work on the randomizer for the question pool. I got the same four questions twice, so I am either given some freebies if I got them right, I am being penalized unjustly because I could have gotten questions I knew the answers to, or I get a 50/50 chance at ones I didn't know. Whatever the probability there of good or bad things happening, I got a 92% on the quiz with an entire 20 minutes to spare before it was due. After taking the quiz, I noticed that I could review old quizess, so I clicked my way through the answers I missed on the previous quiz. One seemed funny enough to mention here:

I was fairly sure of the answer, but I answered like that anyways. So I decided to hit the feedback button to see if I could get the prof to review and possibly get a couple of more points...

And that is all the page said, no little box to fill in a statement or anything, just a sorry!. Online quizes/tests are lame.

Tell me about it....

We have one every week in my perception class. I'll be lucky, and happy, to get a C. It'll probably be a D, and I'll just be a little less happy but still happy.

Way to go on making the Dean's List!

Are just a way for bad professors to be even lazier. It requires no grading on their part, and no thought at all once they've been written. Even worse, since the prof has stopped thinking about them, they're even less likely to go back and revise the quiz. If you screw up "the system," it's your fault— even if the system is flawed.

That is so freaking annoying
