to 4 Grace:
if you read carefully and saw the mistakes i made in the Geography IT Day, I actually could have gotten much higher.
The answers I gave was almost the same as the answers from the auto-marking system.
like... for example
no.3
my answer: expenses
marker's: cost
wtf? what's the diff?!?!?
no.4
my answer: traditional
marker's: cultural
come on... even a word with similar meaning is wrong?
no.7
my answer: structure
marker's: shape
huh??? shape is such a noob word. structure is more like an answer to me.
no.8
my answer: dependancy
marker's: dependency
ok... I can accept this mistake. But I remembered hitting 'E'... I didn't know I tapped 'A'... well nvm.
no.9
my answer: fluctuating
marker's: fluctuating
now now... if you saw letter for letter, it IS exactly the same. This is so stupid.
no.10
my answer: health
marker's: hygiene
lol... come on man... no alternative words??
no.11
my answer: overpopulation
marker's: overpopulation
why can't teachers mark themselves?? Why must human rely so much on technology. Geez...
no.12
my answer: young
marker's: younger
this isn't English, for goodness' sake.
my answer: aged
marker's: elderly
aged = elderly. Once again, a stupid mistake NOT by made me, but by the AMS.
In conclusion, we should not rely our work so much on technology like the computer. I think to put up assignments online will only make students' scores lower for his/her CA. One example, apparently, is me.
