registering for exams
i'm convinced they do it on purpose! if you manage to fill out the forms correctly by the time you finish this course you're clearly a human being of very big brain. myself, i'm much closer to winnie the pooh (a bear of very little brain, if i remember correctly). i'm not altogether sure it's possible to get by without ever getting anything wrong. last year my friend ariane (who's very clever!) managed to register for an exam she'd already passed... i signed and dated that i'd handed it in and it was all correct, the secretary was not impressed... managed to avoid that this year. at least, i avoided it on the usual white form, not sure about this new yellow form we have to fill in so that they can print our diplomas if we pass the exams and the master project. the bottom looks exactly the same as on the white form, where i got told off for signing it. however the text just above 'unterschrift' (signature) says 'i am aware that in case of wrong or illegible information i will have to pay to have the diploma reprinted' or something to that effect... it doesn't really make sense that the department secretary would have to sign that...
it's not fair: the IT students always get loads of credits for hardly any work. it's really gutting when we take one of their courses, cause we only get the same number of credits as the course takes hours per week. so for a course that has a two hour lecture and two hours of practical each week we get 4 credits. they get 6!!! gah!
i hate filling in these forms. it's so embarrassing getting it wrong year after year... i guess they're used to it and there are so many of us getting it wrong, but still... there are still blanks on my stupid green form (that's the one where you actually have to write which exams you want to take), i'm hoping rosmarie will answer my email about how many credits we got for 'information systems for engineers' last year, another IT-department lecture. but this one topped the rest: they couldn't decide whether it was 3 or 4 hours a week so the number of credits wasn't clear... we've officially been awarded 3 credits but i'm sure we got an email at some point saying that because it was listed as a 4 credit course in the green booklet of lectures we would be awarded 4 credits even though it was really only worth 3... :-S
