My First Grade™

Yay!

I received my first grade for College. It’s not a very serious grade and at the same time it is, but let me start at the beginning:

Since this year (I think) my school works with a new way of determining if a student is to pass a subject. Instead of having exams, we have assessments, which are conversations with your teacher where you prove that you master the subject through competency tests and indications. The competencies you do during the lessons, the indicators should come forward from the conversation. I think.

Anyhow, because there are like 300 new students this year it’s a bit insane to have them all go on assessment so they held a test-exam for the subject Embedded Applications. If your portfolio assignment (a program) was good enough (which was the case for me, I’m quite certain) and the test result was satisfactionary (not sure what the ‘limit’ is) then you could pass the subject without an assessment.

I apparently got 84/100 on the test (31 multiple choice questions. I’m ashamed that I didn’t get 100/100) which most probably means I get to skip the assessment. Hurrah.
