The last submission  

Posted by Sumantra

Well, the last of the 5 am assignment submissions. The year had more than its share of such back breaking assignments but now it's gone and there is this hollow feeling. The realisation that it's over! At last!



Good thing about this particular paper was the super group I got. This was the first time SH, SD, SM & me worked on a paper and we rocked. Total ease, absolutely relaxed....in short, fun.


The last drop box....SD, SM & me from left to right, SH being the shutterbug.


In defiance of logic

So in this term we have this paper with this amazing of scheme of marks for written submissions. Let me illustrate:
1. Response paper - 3 pages - 1.67 marks
2. Application paper - 3 pages - 15 marks
3. Network plan - 3 pages - 30 marks

I mean, how? 3 pages of each assignment will contain the same number of words/lines. How does one differentiate between 1.67 and 30 when you are writing the same stuff. Defies logic, baffles imagination. But well, there is always a silver lining. Actually the silver lining is that it is only 3 pages. Normally for a 30 marks assignment one is expected to write at least 15 pages. And there lies the saving grace and the reason why I'll not indulge in cribbing.

But I still don't understand the marking scheme. How? Why? Who?

Huh!!!!

Can a man not have a moment of peace? Shutter happy people capturing an oh-so-relaxed mood. This was during the half time of the E vs D waterpolo match, Neha doing the honours.
p.s. I actually quite like this. Honest.
