Year 2 Sem 1

My worst sem's results have come back. Although it could have been worse, as i was saved by my awesome presentation skills, in the end when it comes down to it, i foamed for my important modules, and that is completely unacceptable.

EE1001
Projected result: A-
Actual result: A+
Not all teachers like my presentation style, i must admit. I have been described as a scientist who sells his product more like a politician does. However, I will stick by my presentation style for two reasons. One, I believe this style is what is necessary to have great achievements in future; ie I want to be somebody. Somebody remembered. Two, this style has always been comfortable for me. An added perk is the occasional A+ when the marker has the same tastes in presentation skills as I do.

EE2011
Projected result: B+
Actual result: B+
I did extremely poorly in this module, but it seems there are many in the same boat. However, this is still unacceptable as I take pride in my intelligence above all my traits. I will have to work harder.

EE2022
Projected result: A-
Actual result: A
Considering the fact that i scored full marks for my midterms, A- was a very pessimistic projection of my score. But i'm still relieved that i achieved an A as i have to admit i took my foot off the pedal for the final stretch.

EE2023
Projected result: A-
Actual result: B+
Another repeat of last semester's EE2020 module. My favourite module this semester, but either there was something wrong with the marking (i wouldn't put it past them, after that fiasco when the school returned us our midterms paper and i realised the level of thought they put into marking their papers -.-) or i made some careless mistakes, which is equally probable. I knew the signals section of Signals and Systems like the back of my hand, which should have been enough to make up for my systems section and achieve at least an A-. This is perhaps the greatest disappointment this sem, just like EE2020 last sem.

EE2024
Projected result: B
Actual result: B-
Atrocious. I have never received anything below a B+. That sentence is not true anymore. But i reaped what i sowed; i spent such little time on this module that it is nothing more than what i deserved. I'm just surprised that the last minute work i put into this module was not enough to get at least a B. It is possible that i will consider appealing this module as it is ridiculous for me to get a B-. Surely there is a mistake here...

Anyway, my overall CAP has plummeted to an all time low of 4.34. No matter, i will forcefully wrench it back up to 4.5 next sem with a perfect 5 As. Will i succeed? I dunno. But i'm going for it.
