You should sue the teacher. Yeah, it would sound like an excuse when you say it to people, which is precisely what sucks so much about it

Seconded.
You won't be able to get work in a computer-using enterprises with that low score (I think )

Problem is, I can't retake it. As far as I know I can only retake the exams, not the coursework. Oh well, if it comes to it, I can just not put the grade on my CV.

Just make a mod.

A full-scale mod, for a mainstream engine (Source puts in the bill).

You'll get picked by some companies soon enough

'side, just sue him, perhaps you can get your scores!

I'm pretty sure that making mods doesn't really count as programming. Unless it's along the lines of DoTA or Counter-Strike

So it is just a computer literacy course?

I'll be learning a course like that at uni, and by learning I mean reviewing. Again. It'll later get up to learning C++ I hope, but I'm practically the only person that knows how to type...

Yeah, I remember taking ICT in school. It sounds similar. Except that we learned MS Office AND VB. Ours was a bit more stupid though, because government rules at the time meant that all IT terms would have to be in Malay, not English. Malay is a horribly unwieldy language for technology. Set and reset are translated into "set" and "set semula (again)", both of which are simplified as "set". A lot of other words are just plain awkward, mouse gets literally translated into "tetikus (several mice)", keyboard into "papan kekunci (a board with lots of keys)". It's like inverse Engrish.

Well, the worst thing was the marking system. It had this O, B, A, T system of grading.
O = didn't answer question
B = answered question poorly
A = answered question well
T = answered more than the question asked for

So, if you have a question that says "Name two computer inputs..."
You get O for skipping the question. You get B for answering "Pencil, speaker". You get A for answering "keyboard, mouse". You get a T for "keyboard, mouse, webcam, speaker". Yes, points for completely retarded answers, but the only way to score is to ramble on about stuff even though the question doesn't say so.

OOO = fail, TTT = A, TTA = A-, TAA = B+, AAA = B, and so on. What's stupid was that TTO gives you a C equivalent, and and BBB gives you like a C+. Which means that you could be an expert in the field, but if you miss out on even one blank space, you'll get a C. And someone who knows nothing at all will never fail.


I did the smart thing and dropped the subject. My friend, who's better at computers than me scored a C- in the test. He complained, paid the education ministry for a recheck, and got an A. They claimed it was a technical error, but I'm pretty sure it was stupidity.

Wait, you can SUE teachers?! This is the first time I've heard of that.

[Vester]

I'm pretty sure that you can sue anyone up to and including the Pope. Or at least his government.

(Well, if you can sue governments, then teachers are a step down, really.)

I agree.

Filipino is partially Malay, partially Spanish. It's so different from English structure that it's just not funny.

Meh, if he was as bad as you say, he'd better lose his job. There's plenty of good, eager teachers trying to get a job. Since he's taking his job for granted, maybe he'd be better off doing something else anyway.
