i know i haven’t finished my note about the finance exam and why i’m pissed off but here’s the updated bit…
I met w the finance teacher yesterday morning. it seems i got 40.5 on my test n u need 50 to pass. At least i got to look at my test.
I did rather well on the essay question about leasing n security types. I did ok on the inventory mgmt question. i used the wrong number in an equation n then used the same number several times over b/c answers build on other answers so i lost pts for that. Only 1 formula did i totally screw up. The leverage question i did pretty crap on so ill be reviewing that tonite. he asked if i missed that class. Um no i was there 4 every class. And then we get to the cost of capital question. This is the one i knew less well and ran out of time on so with a 6 part question i think i did 1.5 parts. This is one of the questions he said i did v poorly on. Well no shit. Told him i ran out of time n he told me fridays test wont be as long. Hmm. Wonder if that means less parts to each question since hes said its covering the same topics.
i also got the speech bout how last semester no one was allowed to retake. N how not everyone is retaking esp if u didnt show up 4 classes. keeping up standards n such. All reasonable n i appreciate the chance to retake but im still pretty nervous. also wondering why there is a change in policy. Found out today about someone else who will retake on friday. n realised they hv us in the auditorium so i guess there is a reasonable number of people who failed.
I talked to a classmate who failed n had to retake the accounting class last semester n has now failed the test again. this person gets 2 retake the acct test but i wonder what happens if they fail that too. Thats my biggest nightmare- go thru this again n not pass. Is there a patron saint of financial mgmt i can light candles or pray to?
