How to Enhance Exam Scores?

Oh my goodness. On Monday, I realized that professor Kurpis was really generous to his students. After we got back our first test score, most of the class mates became monsters. I was too almost killed by myself. I had never gotten that kind of score before. Especially, I could not believe strange situation because I got nothing on the essay part. It was really really sucks for me. “How I did not get it even 1 point? Was my essay really terrible?” Suddenly, I was questioned of myself that “should I drop this class?” However, professor gave some advice and time limit to us to make good decision for enhancement our first exam and future exams.

As soon as professor gave time limit for making it, people could not handle or control by themselves. The class room was like a public market which was so noisy and yelling each other. I could not control too by myself because I did not want to appear any essay question in the future tests. I imagined that if I could write down answer the essay question Korean, I would believe to get a good score, but I knew that it was not possible. I would want the professor to have no multiple, multiple answers, no essay questions and no short questions, but drop one lowest score, curve the tests, extra point and open book test or take home final. However, few minutes later, I gave up Collaborating with them because no matter what I did that my score was still bad and it made me depress. I was just Avoiding and waiting for their decision.

Before one person handled the chaos, anybody did not make any decision. It was really difficult to agree 100%. We had only few minutes to decide to our good purpose. I thought that it was very difficult to reach a satisfactory Compromise for everyone. But, I agreed with them because if I did not allow many class mates decisions, I felt that they were going to blame me. For me, I thought that it was like ‘Opportunity Cost’; I had to give up to get something.

Finally, they decided some result. I satisfied what the result came out that drop one lowest test, curve and extra credit. I hope I will get much better than the first exam.

Hey, don't worry just study harder for the next exam. I got very little points for the essay part too. But with the change for the next exam, I think we can do better. I agreed that the professor was quite generous. I don't think there is any other professor that will do that to there students.
