Idk man we don't use those script books in my department, do you want to write your student number in words on every. page?

Are you sure? We had to use them for the Chem 1 exam.

Something that was bizarre about the Chem 1 exam was having to answer the MC questions on both a MC answer sheet AND in the question booklet.

By my department I literally mean Department of Microbiology, Infection and Immunology not just Science
I definitely used those in first year but I haven't used one since first year actually...all my exams to date since Chem/Physics/Politics haven't used those script books!

We did....?

Lucky! I know I'm being a bit high maintenance but as someone who struggles enough during exams the script books have made it even more difficult for me on a logistical/comprehension level haha.

We did....?

Crap.

Haha I wouldn't worry too much! I'm sure they'll work it out.

It's just an inane system. Like what if your answers contradicted each other? Which one would they go for? Presumably they'd just give you no marks for that question and move on, but then this gives the advantage to the people who misread the instructions.

Eh. Ps get degreeeeeees!

I used script books when I did micro/immuno, what do you do now?

[simpak]

Have an awesome exam without long answer questions, bam. Immuno changed the course significantly this year; new lecturers, two midsems, 50% of your mark is mcq :333

[Russ]

Wait so there's no proper written response at all :O

Dat so dumb.

[simpak]

There is! Five short answer questions = 50% so like I said I wrote about 20 pages in the exam but it's not using a traditional script book or anything! And the exam is only 2 hours now! So in sum you can expect Stonecold to pop up with like 100% in a few weeks as its probably possible now!

20 pages

2 hours

...

[simpak]

Yup I am a crazy person but also my handwriting is large when I'm trying to be quick so it adds to the volume.
Also quantity =/= quality.

[brenden]

When you say large, are you talking like... four words per line? (HOW MANY WORDS ARE YOU GENERATING PER HOUR EVEN?)

[simpak]

Maybe like seven? words per line?

Penny Commons said that they would look over your actual exam paper if something went wrong with the computer marking, i.e you fell out of sync or something.

Anyone have any idea how many lines per page in her script books?

I don't think anyone in an exam would count the number of lines? I'm usually crying as I'm writing
