My finals have been over for a while now, but I’ve been waiting to get my AI mark. This is how my marks break down, in order of best to last.<\/div>\n

  1. User Interface Design: B+<\/li>\n
  2. Computational Intelligence (AI): B-<\/li>\n
  3. Chemistry: C-<\/li>\n
  4. Statistics: D<\/li>\n
  5. Computer Animation: F<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    I expected to fail Animation, so no surprises there. This is what happens when you don’t do the final project and you fail the final. I should have done better in 1-3. I had at least a B before going into the Chemistry final, but I didn’t have enough time to study after my Statistics final (3hrs). However, taking a huge hit on Chemistry to pass Statistics and never having to do either again is totally<\/em> worth it. phew!<\/em> I suffered a significant “retrieval failure”<\/em> when writing my AI exam, causing me to miss major marks. That, and I didn’t finish it; much harder than the midterms were. The only real chink in my UI mark is the midterm… I didn’t finish that, either, getting only about 50% on it.<\/div>\n
    Now, one would be getting the wrong impression if they looked at this and thought, “Gee, Statistics must be hard.” That is completely not true; if I attended all lectures (and was completely awake during them) and did all the practice problems, I would have (no doubt) aced it. Instead, I ended up skipping many lectures because I was barely awake, anyways, and not doing any practice problems. In fact, I didn’t even get a chance to read all the notes. I’m pleasantly surprised I was able to get a sympathy pass. \ud83d\ude42 Conversely, Computer Animation really is<\/em> a hard course, and it’s significantly harder for me due to my recent apathy towards the maths. I will have to do something about that apathy, as my next term will be mostly math and physics. eheh.<\/div>\n
    For completeness, here’s an ordered list of the amount of effort I put into the courses, greatest first:<\/div>\n
