Return due to recent complaints....

By swwosh
Hi again. well, it's been about a month??? since I've last updated my blog.. Everyone's been bragging to me.. "calv, why u din update ur blog one...", "why ur blog so dead one"... "soo lazy one u... UPDATE!!!"... FINE!!! i'll start updating!!!
Well, cant blame me bah.... I'm soo "busy" with uni. and work some more... where got time to update... Internet so slow at home cuz i've limit my quota for my internet limit.. Damn.. so dodgy. Anyways, since I'm so "busy" with uni, I'll tell u what i'm so "busy" with. ASSIGNMENTS!!!! BLOODY ASSIGNMENTS!!!! there's like 2 assignments minimum per week, and they all have like werid names which makes them even gay-er!!! Who knew only 4 units could be sooo.. "BUSY"!!!

Well, first of all there's the assignment for Ad.Physics. They call it Wileyplus. what a name. Seriously, these assignment questions are way way way way way harder than the ones that comes out on the tests an exams. Which is good in a way that if u can do the assignment...then u should be fine for the test. BUT, the thing is... i sometimes cant even do most of the questions, which one of them takes like hours to figure out!!! well, i did exaggerate a lil bit.. but still it's STUPIDLY TIME CONSUMING!!!

*yes...online assignments = gay shit*

Wiley's still okay cuz u get like unlimited attempts. So if you did it wrong, u dun get marks off. As long u finish it before the due date, then u'll be okay. PLUS, they give u hints and texts regarding ur question after a certain amount of attempts. So, it's not that bad. But recently, we're doing like electric stuff, which i seriously seriously LOATHE!!! u dunno how much i hate it!!! the only fun part about the lectures now are the experiments. But, yeah... still gay.


Secondly, we have Mallard, which is the assignment for my Introduction to Electronic & Electrical Engineering unit. Mallard really aint that bad, cuz we've only got 2 of them so far, so yeah... and there's only like 3 questions so overall, it's ok. However, there's only 7 attempts. After 7 attempts and u havent get full marks, then u're stuck with watever u got.

*Mallard aint that bad...i just hate it...not loathe it... ^^*

Next, is Maple T.A which is the assignment for my calculus unit. We just got one of them recently. I've only had a look at it, and it's like all multiple choices, so i guess it's ok. Questions aren't THAT hard... i guess.. haha.. havent done them yet.. so cant comment much on it. Oh yea, you'd probably figured out now that all my assignments are online.


*I only do Maths 1020 btw, I dun even know why I'm enrolled for Math 1010.. =S*

FINALLY!!!! FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!!! the assignment that breaks head!!! breaks legs!!! breaks EVERYTHING!!!!! the one that ALL first year engineers HATE the MOST!!!


INTRODUCING!!!!!
MR JELLYFISH!!!!

OMG!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!! where do i even start to describe this STUPID assignment???? For starters, the name is already gay enough. Pfftt.. Jellyfish??? What kinda name is that???? Apparantly, jellyfish is quite an old assignment programme, cuz i asked a friend who studied engineering a few years ago here in UWA, and she said jellyfish was gay as well. Ok, why do we all hate it so much??? I'll list it out..



#1. You have to bloody do 10 practice questions before even doing the assessed ones.


#2. The practice questions already take like a LIFETIME to do it, some more the asssessed ones???



#3. Ok, once u get ur practice ones done, you still got ur assessed ones, eventhough there's like only 2!!! but 2 bloody annoying ones!!!


#4. Full marks for a question is 10/10. If u get the answer wrong from one attempt, you'll either get 2 marks off!!! or 1... If the computer tells u " I'm sorry, we did not get what you did. Please consult ur lecturer.", that means that u've STUFFED EVERYTHING UP!! and that's like 2 MARKS OFF!!! then..if the computer says "Ur units seem to be missing" , "Ur units arent correct", "U seem to be have confused with the sign convention"... that's..... 1 MARK OFF!!!! wth right?! jus cuz i get the unit wrong frm like a typo.. i get one mark off!!!! And u should've seen what i've heard from ppl... They keep getting one mark off..and another..AND ANOTHER... OOH! forget to mention.. The least marks u can get is 2/10. So once u've reached that, it's like unlimited attempts, cuz u cant get anything lower than that.

#5. The questions are just GAY!!!

*Jellyfish can just die!!! DIE!!!!! STAB JELLYFISH!!!*

And that's all for the assignments....soo far... Might be more in the future and i'm only 1/4 through first year engineering only!!! haha!!! so much for engineering!!! xD Then again..... we as an engineering "family", always look out for each other. That means that assignments are always much easier when THERE'S A FORUM WITH HELP!!! OH YA!!!


*Our best friend = WebCt*


I first found out about this forum from a friend. One day we were doing our assignments, and we got stuck with one question. We were sooo stressed and frustrated with that question until......my friend went to this forum and found solutions to that question!!! From then onwards... the forum, we call it WebCT, was our best friend. You can post like questions on the forum and you'll definitely get a reply from someone with help. People also do post interesting topics on the forum that doesnt relate to any of our units just to get us entertained, so it's all good. I found a really good picture some dude drew from the frustrations of doing these assignments. Yes...i feel it too......


*It's actually a picture of a dragon breathing out fire.... And this picture came from one of the future engineer of Australia... I'm sure we're all in safe hands... =D*

Well, i guess that's all for now. It's thursday so i finish early. Guess i'll chill for the day~ cya~
