Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I think I’ve mentioned here before about how two of my classes in general science requirement mechanics lab had their free day for the field trip during the time we went to the book ship and thus they have lab sessions until the first week of April, when they are scheduled to have their practical exam.

In my third class, their practical exam is this week, and their free day is next week, just when they need the extra time for finishing other projects in other classes.

But it seems that the thirteenth week of classes will only be two days long, and that on the Monday immediately after Holy Week, it will be Finals Week already.

So I had to announce to the classes that their practical exam will be this week at the same time as their last experiment, so we would not have to schedule another session outside of all our class schedules for the next week.

I will only be discussing to them their experiment for the first thirty minutes or so of the period, then while most of the class will be performing their experiment, one student at a time will be called into the next room for about seven minutes at a time to answer their practical exam.

I already finished with the third class I mentioned earlier. Probability ruled that each of the seven experiments would be chosen at least once, unlike one of the last times when there was at least one experiment that no one drew.

I still have the “x” card, that only one person in each class can get, which allows them to pick the experiment they want to report on. I hope the student who lucked out on it keeps his word and doesn’t tell his classmates about the reward.

Just a minor rant about Ephraim, who did better than he did last time he took the subject and got 13.5 out of 20, which is higher than 60% “passing”.

He was insisting on some of his answers which were not the procedures we used for this term, and not even the procedures that were in the manual.

He gave me his patented sad face, which didn’t work, I still deducted him for his wrong answers.

He was also annoying his classmates asking them their grade as they got out of the room, but I heard wouldn’t tell them his score.

Session 1565 relies on old knowledge. Class dismissed.
