Looks like they fucked that one up! Muppets. Need to remind them about the difference between ADD and AND.

And that ADD is not OR, and that asking to convert base before ADDing is a waste of time, and and and and STUPID!

it's becoming a recurring theme.

i told them, and after checking to see if i was correct, they sheepishly corrected the question.

it could be a trick question to show if you'll show all your working out............... but then i'm an optimist.

on a multiple guess question?

[crazymeandave.livejournal.com]

well. i suppose it is the university of hip hop.

they also repeated a question with the only answer common to both possible sets being the correct one.

i'm sure more than one student will still manage to answer them incorrectly.

... and is it just me or is this mike?

that's not ugly enough for Mike, you've obviously not seen him enough lately, the hoodie and gormless expression are spot on though.

it would appear my course leader's not alone in the world of ineptitude.

it's exactly this sort of wanton disorganisation that i'm coming to expect from lecturers... makes me wonder if it's something that's taught at postgrad level ;)

the exam i sat earlier on today on problem solving for computing was delayed for about 30 minutes because the lecturers couldn't solve the problem of uploading the excel and access files for us to use in the test.
