Animation studio's responce and other stuff
18 years ago
General
Well, the good news is that the animation studio was very kind enough to write a response to my request.
The bad news is that I would have to move to Canada in order to take the job.
So it's quite a huge thing to think about for the moment.
Monday night was horrible subject again.
And once again the teacher was not impressed with me.
He gave us a task to review the mechanics of a game, and a question sheet to follow by.
Sadly what I wrote as a response was not what the teacher wanted.
I followed the Questions as to what has been asked, and even gave up dinnertime once again to try and get them all done plus a powerpoint presentation.
(Yes the teacher expects a lot to be done in a short amount of time)
I was still finishing up the past few pages when the teacher returns and announced that my group was to go first.
Although the teacher said I was doing better then the first time I took the subject.
To be honest, I'm not happy with what he said.
He told me I got a high mark for last weeks class.
But they way he marks his class, all I got for that lesson was a high mark of 1.6%
To explain the marking of this subject
8% - Classwork for weeks 1 to 5 (1.6% tops for each lesson)
12% - Classwork for weeks 6 to 12 (2% tops for each lesson)
30% - First Essay
50% - Second Essay
So yeah, the marking make it feel like doing in ones in class feel very non-important.
I know people will say it's that 1% that will make the difference, but I wish class work grades could be a little higher, just so that I can have some more confident that I'm doing well in the subject.

I'm not sure how related the class work is to the essays, but if they are each small parts of building knowledge towards being able to write a good essay, then it makes sense the way the course is graded. That way, if you mess up on a part (1 week of class mark), then it goes towards learning something important that will help you write a better essay. If they're not related, then I agree with you, and say that the course work needs to be worth more. Seriously, it a ridiculous portion for two essays to be worth 80% of a course. Talk about PRESSURE!!!!
