First exam supervision.

Did my first exam supervision last night.
Well... what can i say about this first time experience?

Last week, Lakmali (one of the staff who was in charge in the exam supervision thingie) asked me whether I'm interested in doing some exam supervision during the mid term exam week when i was working in the school office.

Well....
1. I've never done any exam supervision before.
2. It sounds interesting coz not much ppl get to do it.
3. and..... $$$ matters.

Of course i say yes!

hahaha..

Anyway,
after having a busy working day in the morning.... plus a very late sleep the day before...
Imagine cutting number cards for a few subjects for the whole morning...
photocopying exam papers... (imagine hundred of students)
and key in some assignments marks... (imagine few hundred copies)
plus running my regression until some 1am the night before...

It was a bit tired.

The exam starts at 6pm and luckily it was a 2 hours subject.

I never knew that doing exam supervision can be that boring.
Imagine walking around, standing, doing nothing for 2 hours.
Never knew 2 hours can be that long.

But funny things do happen.
There is a student who asked me whether she can use pencil or pen for question 4..
1st thing to clarify is that... I've no idea what paper she is doing.
And who cares it's pen or pencil?
hahahahahaa...
but, to make sure...i do read through the instruction on the cover sheet....
before i told her that you can use whatever you like! hahaha..
for your information, it was a postgraduate masters subject midterm exam..

Luckily it seems to be an easy paper as people starts to leave their seats 45 mins before the exam ends. and when the clock ticks at 8pm, there was only around 10% of the students left sitting in the hall.. so we didn't really take up much time on picking up the papers... i left the exam hall with one of the lecturer and a phD student who was also supervising with all the exams paper sheets.... it took about 15 mins to walk back the office from the exam hall.... so we kinda like chitchatting along the way... it's kinda weird to chat with a lecturer n a phD student on the way... hahahha... and the topic was... masters course in sydney and US, the lecturer was a US graduates. and the topic was initiated by the questions from the phD student on why were there so many chinese student taking masters but only like less than 10% angmos doing it? hahaha..... i did the counting when walking around the exam hall.... its was around 25 angmos doing the exams in a hall with 240 students. and half of them are chinese, and the other half are indians....

well.... maybe.... sydney is just another asian city?

I have another exam supervision on wednesday night. 6-9pm.

and my own mid term paper is on friday 6pm.
