Easy Does It.
She said it will be easy, didn't she? "It's open-book, it's about open concepts. I don't see any reason why it will not be easy." Receiving such a personal assurance from your tutor/course coordinator/paper-setter is really good for your morale. You keep telling yourself there's no point in reading the articles more than once because you never know what's coming out, and for all you know, you might be reading shit that will never come out. And it's 50% nia. No sweat huh? I found out the truth just now. To be fair, she's right. The paper is straightforward. Armed with a pile of notes, you can answer most of it. IF YOU HAVE THE WHOLE DAY TO DO IT! HELL! I was left scrambling for time towards the end, crapping my way so that the marker would have something to mark. Was I flipping my notes? NO! Questions after questions demanding me to write down pagefuls of theories to explain the various behaviors. Sub-parts within sub-parts requesting me to suggest alternative theories to further explain myself. Ehh, where got time to flip through the notes and find so many theories?? Stopid!
