Had my first ever stats test 2 weeks ago~~
Darn slack ahhh...
There's hints accompanying the questions and answers were also printed. I didnt notice the answers there initally.. Hehe.. But when it comes to probability, i think the lecturer shouldn't have provided the answers leh, cos we can trial and error and get the working right.

One interesting thing to note: there's actually 2 parts to the test --Test one and two, focused on diff topics.
But many of them actually took only test one.
After the start of the test, the lecturer peered into the 2 boxes containing the papers and was puzzled as to why, the stack of Test 2 left in the box is much higher than the stack of Test 1 left in the adjacent box. He announced to everyone about it, but nobody seemed to care leh. Not a single one came down to get Test 2.
So at around 9+am, many people finished the test and became restless, i was thinking 'these people must be real fast wor..' i've just finished test 1 and just started on test 2. Micheline told me she thought 'this batch of students must be geniuses' then. LOLs..
Turned out that they are the bunch of idiots who only did half the test.
After the test, the lecturer (talking to himself) 'How come there's still so thick (hand gesture to represent the thickness) left? I said like a thousand times, but nobody seemed to hear me.'
Me (thinking): Oohs, how sad... The feeling of being ignored my beloved students...


Talking about tests, econs lecturer brought up this topic today.
Lecturer: Shall we have a test next week?
Students: No... no... no... (echoes around LT)
Lecturer: How about next next week?
Students: Noooooo...
Lecturer: Just a short test, half an hour only...
*pauses*
I'll put it at the end of the lecture, those who dont want to take, can just leave. I dont want u all to skip lecture just to skip the test.
.... The day before, swallow a housefly then report sick dont come for lecture...

I've no idea where's the link to the last sentence, but it certainly got many people laughing..

Hmm.. i dont quite look forward to the econs test leh.. I dont usually understand his lectures..
Like talking to himself, once he lost directions in the midst of explanations and he rested his head on his hand and stared at his laptop screen. *faints*
Like the guy who sat in front of me, he said 'aiya tia buay tieo ah' (literally means cannot hear in hokkien, though i think he meant cant get the lecturer's idea) and he began spinning a coin to entertain himself.
While Julie and I had our own mini picnic behind. Chomping on tidbits and drinks placed on the bench-like tables. KEEPS ME AWAKE.
Lecturers arent strict about eating and drinking in lectures. So it didnt take long for all sorts of food and drinks to appear on tables. Cups, cans, bottles, packets, plastic bags, boxes...
In LTs, the tables are usually movable while the chairs are fixed. Here in SIM, our tables are fixtures with swivel chairs attached to the tables. I often had to resist the urge of swinging about in the partially movable chair in lectures.
