EssaYs.
From wad i find....heard... experience... i think that essay results are totally unstable.... it keeps fluctuating... up down.... no matter how i write or memorise the points/eleborations/giving examples/advan/disadvan... it still doesnt keep my marks stable.... this even happens when im rewriting the same piece of crap...... This comes to my point. ESSAY MARKING IS SUBJECTIVE. (Particular to a given person)

its like totally unpredictable wad my marks would be like..... even for the same exact essay.... one can get a 12/13 and another 7/13.... i guess this is why they have implemented marking standardisation to ensure a more uniform marks/progress..... the factors that affect could be -use of poor language leading to confusion -outta point -not answering question -not enuff points. AND the usualy "feedback" to any linguistic subject would be a typical "Read newspapers / books" and i'll go "lol".... it takes more than tht srsly.... personally... i feel that linguistic skills are more "instilled" into u rather than a "progress" type of basis u can get for eg in math.

im an example of a stundent who is unaware of the skills im using to do well and thts the reason why my grades are not consistent in order for me to produce a similar result..... skills i believe plays an imp role in ones thinking process and performance.... but truthfully... im not convinced... although i do use em in exams as a safetynet... (nth to lose).... my second point is.... PR.... yes... PR.... public relations... its one of the most important thing for me to survive in this cruel cold hearted world full of omnipotent/scient/presence evil... PR gives you an advantage in anything u do.... it will atleast increase ur marks by 1 or 2.... yes its true.... there is some level of truth in this... (I got additional 6 marks for MT you know... xD) although when this is presented to "markers"... there will of course be denial.... its almost the same as first impression....

back to main point.... i think tht essay marking has to be somehow improved... i duno by wad means.... juz do it xD........ hmmm ill put it this way... its like art.... subjective!.....

its seriously so bbqing TOUGH for one to be good in a language if not for a history of being well exposed to it.... com'on.... wads tougher than language? (well mayb chem for me xD) Actually interest is an imp part of ones ability to improve in a subject/ field.... i do have interest in my MT... but i'm juz too lazy O.o...

i got so much thing to do... but im slacking by arse off..... btw... this post is bullshyt.... im juz unhappy wit my humans essay xD
