Sung to the tune of "Last Kiss" --Pearl Jam
Oh where oh where is my FM3?
No thanks to this bureaucracy
It's been too long and I dont wanna be rude
But it seems that this country is run by little girls

1911 and 1191
I break my series of photologs of my travel for breaking news... nono, im not too bothered about the approval of the US$700billion bailout package, nor melamine in my Lala Brand milk...
Lala is one of the most famous brands for milk here... I like Mexican brands... Lala... Bimbo... etc.
Anyway, this is bitch post about how... how should i put it... how unique one of my profs here is.
To start off, he is a really young instructor, 28 years of age only. The first time we had class, you could already sense how ngeow this person would be. I tried to rationalize that because if you are so young and you can become a professor, you must have high standards of yourself and hence these expectations are also demanded of his students... but noooo... think SMU's Marcus Lee... I think it's just a personality issue.
And so for twice a week for 8 weeks, I attend his lessons and he knows so much, he rattles facts about the history of LA (latin america) like how i would with...er.... er.... I dont have a specific subject that I can rattle off... I just rattle in general.
In this course, we are graded upon 4 main things, a mid-term, 2 critical analysis papers and a final paper. In tec, the passing mark is 70%. He challenges and offers us that if anyone can obtain 90% average for the 2 critical analysis paper and the mid term, he will give him full score for the finals and he does not even have to sit for the exam.
At the end of the critical analysis paper 1, the lowest score I heard others got? 50plus. That's a fail by the way.
Speaking of critical analysis paper, he lists the following criteria
============================
You must give the professor two copies of your paper AND turn in a copy through the digital drop box. You may NOT turn in these papers by email.
The critical analysis papers must be organized in the following format:
(1) 1.5 line space and space between each paragraph
(2) type-written in 12 point New Times Roman ONLY
(3) 1 inch margins (2.5 centimeters) on all sides
(4) justified to the left ONLY
(5) center the title of your paper on the first line
(6) place your names at the end of your paper just before your bibliography
(7) staple the paper in the upper left-hand corner (no clips please; just buy a stapler and keep it in your backpack)
You may write no more than 4 pages for this paper. The bibliography list and your name may appear on the fifth page.
===========================
Most profs do it for fun. He really means it. Cant remember the penalty for not following the format, cos i dont think anyone tried.
Now comes the most ridiculous bomb. The mid term exams. There were plenty of rules, but I can only remember the 3 main ones worth remembering.

- For the true/false questions, you will be marked WRONG if you write T or F or True or False. instead, you must write 1191 for true and 1911 for false in the blank given... huh?? wtf? Its apparently to prevent cheating.
- For the open-ended questions, keep to the box you are give to write your answers in. If any part of the answer is out of the box, the ENTIRE question will be marked WRONG. You get zero for that.
- If anyone is caught looking or glancing around, both papers will be taken away immediately (glancer and glancee). Both papers will be marked and the higher score, divided by two will be given out. E.g. A was caught glancing at B's paper. A and B's papers will be taken away. Up till the point where they did their exam, A scores 70 and B scores 100. B's score will be taken. 100/2=50. Hence both A and B will get 50 for the finals = fail.
