first exam on next week, second and last exam on friday next week.

 

[missanonymous7]

...I have.

First impression of first ever uni exam: amazed at just how unwelcoming the supervisors are (in comparison to HSC). I mean I'm not expecting a plush red carpet and beaming smiles and being personally escorted to my seat. But to walk into a room only to be greeted with a sudden onslaught of different people all yelling different things at once was a little intimidating for us naive little first years.

"A TO K, A TO K, ALL A TO K OVER HERE GET AN ORANGE CARD, A TO K, A TO K"
"YOU CANNOT BRING ANY UNAUTHORISED MATERIALS INTO THE EXAM ROOM, BABS1201 STUDENTS YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR CALCULATORS IN YOUR BAGS"
"BABS1201, KUMAR TO MILLER, KUMAR TO MILLER, GET A GREEN CARD"
"YOU THERE! GIRL WITH THE PLASTIC BAG! GET RID OF IT NOW!"

(...sif I'm going to smuggle in cheat notes in my COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT plastic bag holding pens and pencils like for the HSC. Gawd.)

"IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING WRITTEN ON THEIR SKIN OR CLOTHING PLEASE TELL A SUPERVISOR NOW" (lol)
"A TO K, A TO K A TO K A TO K..."
"ALL ECON STUDENTS, JUST KEEP WALKING AROUND"

...whew.

Is it just me? (It is, isn't it? Everyone else is actually completely unfazed by all the yelling, aren't they? )

Welcome to HELL!!!

i mean uni

 

[shinji]

The supervisors are required to do that at all exam venues. If not, and the student gets caught cheating - he could say that he didn't have any notice by the exam supervisors about what is allowed/not allowed in the exam venue. Its part of their job, and they're grumpy because of the aemount of students that they have to deal with.

Just bear with them, they're trying to do their job as painless as possible.

 

[Vylen]

don't think ive ever had any unpleasant supervisors...

last year as a joke for the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) exam i went in with a pack of colouring-in pencils in the plastic packs they come in... the supervisor stopped me, looked at it for a while then just told me to go in...

Yeah I know what you mean. Back in year 12 everyone would go ape after an exam and chuck chairs and topple desks when it was like the last test of an exam period. Dont think anyone is brave enough to do that in uni, dont want a 0 zero for a test and have to repeat

 

[wrong_turn]

but to be fair uni kids in general are morons

eg.
supervisors: "finance 1612 surname Yang to Z"
board behind supervisors say the same
idiot walks up to them: "Name's Y-u?"
*looks at them but doesnt take the card*
supervisors: "yes that's you"
idiot then takes the card



...idiot.

 

[~::UAI::~]

UNSW hires random depressed 40+ year olds as supervisors.
UNSW is Australia's Soviet Union.
Expecting high standards from all.
Holy shit one of the supervisors back in PHYS1121 looked like a total bogan.

oh, and here's more evidence.

Dear Students currently undertaking Exams

An increasing number of you appear to be turning up to the wrong exam venue.

Due to space constraints, many UNSW examinations are split over a number
of venues. Your examination timetable on MyUNSW gives you the exact location
of the exam venue you should attend.

If you go to a venue which is not on your exam timetable, you are
disadvantaging fellow students, as each examination room is set up with the
correct number of seats and examination papers for the expected number of
students attending that venue only.

PLEASE double check your examination timetable on MyUNSW and ensure that
you attend the examination venue that is displayed on your timetable.

it boggles the mind...

I've had 2 funny instances of invigilators acting quite randomly.

First instance: ACCT2522 Final
When going into Pavillion for the exam, the invigilators were going "A to M only, A to M only, if you don't know the alphabet please stand aside and we'll help you find your name..." - My response: Yes most of the budding accountants are either Asian/Indian students but it doesn't mean we don't know our ABCs. Otherwise we'd be epic failing Accounting as a whole.

Second instance: LAWS1071 Final
Tea house exam combined with Mining exam. To make sure people knew the difference with the exams, invigilators at the door kept on yelling out "Lawyers! Lawyers! Lawyers should come here for their exams!" and also at the same time "Miners, Miners, Mining is in here". - My response: Made mining people feel quite "special", 2 rows of miners versus something like 6 rows of lawyers loool. The finals at UNSW are much more entertaining than USYD.

And I gotta admit, USYD has no policy against writing on your skin/clothes, when I first heard it in QMA exam, I did lol to myself for a bit.

yea.. seriously.. being a senior student i dont ever recall there being an email like that sent out before.... i blame the first years of 09...

From the email:

And miners are better than lawyers anyday.
when miners and lawyers are stuck underground the lawyers try to tell the rock to move out of the way and miners find the safest path to escape taking into account rock composition, etc.
