Hello there,
I hope you had a nice, productive, and eventful day. As for me, my day was pretty good, but the highlight is that it started by taking a surprising turn that I didn't see coming when I got to school for my first lecture of the day, AEM507, Agricultural Cooperatives, which was slated to start by 9a.m. I got to class before 9, because the lecturer doesn't entertain latecomers in his class. I sat down on the seat my good friend, Emmanuel, had kept for me, and together, we were talking while waiting for the lecturer to come in.
A few minutes later, the lecturer came in, looking all serious as he approached the whiteboard with his deep blue marker. I guess we were all expecting him to write the topic of the day, but instead, what we saw was "C.A.T." Everyone was shocked because he hadn't informed us earlier. We all thought it was a joke until he told us to tear a sheet of paper.
All I and my colleagues could do was quickly scan through our notes to see if I could put a useful part of it into my head. He told us to keep our notes away, and he started dictating the questions. Trust me, the room became as silent as a graveyard, it took everyone by surprise that the test was actually happening.
The suprise test indeed surprised us all
He dictated about four questions to us and gave us 20 minutes to answer them. Well, I tried my best, and I submitted when I was done. Some students didn't submit exactly when we were instructed to submit—probably because they remembered something at the last minute—but their scripts were torn by the lecturer when they decided to submit. Sadly, my friend Emmanuel's script was torn too, but I feel it shouldn't have been. He didn't fully fall into the category I described, but let's hope the test doesn't carry much weight. We finished the test, and we were given a group assignment after.
Have you ever written an impromptu test? How did it turn out for you?
By the way, how did your day go as well? I hope it was eventful and productive.
We go again tomorrow😊
Thanks for reading❤️
Those kind of tests are like ‘God, please save me’
I am glad that you were able to submit as requested, no matter little the weight of the test might be.. it might still add up. I’m so for your friend-Emma.
I can totally relate😂😂😭😭, your head will suddenly feel empty at first, until you calm down to start answering the questions.
I am also glad I submitted earlier because I am a very emotional person. I can start crying if my script gets torn. And thank you very much about Emma, I am sure he will avoid such situation next time.
I'm quite sorry for your friend Emmanuel. I wish lecturers weren't quite devious in things like this. Reading notes consistently whether there's the likelihood of tests is what can save you in times like this.
Thank you very much. I have also learned the hard way that it is very good to go through notes from a previous class before you go for another. It isn't just that easy because there are other things taking one's time, but I guess one just have to make it work.
I have experience this kind thing before, but I use to overcome it due to consistent studying of my book but it's not easy though......and I'm so sad for your friend Emmanuel I hope he has learnt his lesson
Yeah, he did. I am very sure that it will not repeat itself.
Consistent studying is a good way to go about it, but as you said, it isn't so easy. Well, we just have to put in the effort regardless
Yes! Putting more efforts in studying is the best way to learn and understand
