Wooo, first schoolyear’s over

After a bit of uncertainty I have now officially finished my foundation course. I was already assured of passing this year some months ago when I reached my 37,5 credits of the total 60.

I ended up getting a 90 for Product Quality (which is the highest you can get - the school uses a weird system of 10/40/70/90, where 10 and 40 are ‘insufficient’) and a 70 ‘with repairs’ for Network Infrastructure.

The ‘with repairs’ meant that I had to come to school next Wednesday to repair the portfolio, a.k.a. fix something. Because Bram, a friend of mine, is celebrating his birthday next Wednesday we both weren’t in the mood to go to school for repairs. Hence we asked if we could hear the teacher’s ‘concerns’ over the phone instead.
He replied with “Can you come on Thursday?”, which was obviously not an answer to anything we had asked him. So I replied with “What do repairs mean (in my case)?”. To which he suddenly replied that he just had a comment that one of my assignments was documented with too much detail, which would not have been necessary, and that I didn’t have to repair anything after all.

What the heck

Still, that doesn’t explain why the guy I worked with got a 90 and I got a 70 with repairs

Oh well, my “p” (propedeuse, or foundation course) is all mine, so I’m happy.
