I went on LMS today to check my assessment results for micro & received a nasty surprise. Firstly my assignment 2 had only received 8.5/15; I can't understand why as I spent quite a bit of time on it & felt it was decent. Secondly I was only given 3/10 for my tutorial mark. I had missed a few tutes & I'm very quiet in class but I was expecting at least 5. This means my unit average is 50%. I'm very embarrassed & shocked by this, it's the lowest average that I've had in 2 years. This means that to just get a credit overall in the exam I require 40/60 or roughly 66.7% (assuming minimal scaling).
In light of this I'm now going through all tute questions & answers in detail, perhaps there's something wrong with the way I've been interpreting the material. The sad thing is that I actually really enjoy this unit so there's no reason I should be doing poorly in it. The topics have been both interesting & relevant. Perhaps my weakness in the unit is that I lack skill & interest in the area of statistical analysis and thus try to explain concepts via verbalisation & graphs rather than equations. I hope I manage to perform well in the exam, I would be absolutely mortified if I were to fail this unit.
