After a storm a calm comes...

Or in my case, the opposite. After three gorgeous holiday weeks, it's time to prepare for final exams.

In two weeks I'll be going crazy in a room, and now it's revision time. Ok, I confess, for some modules it has to be a little bit more than only a revision, but that's fine. In this mood, I've decided to talk about how my module are going to be assessed here in Brunel.
First thing that I should say is that assessment here is very different from Brazil (at least most universities, I guess). Grades here follow a scheme of letters (from F to A) rather than numbers (from 0 to 10). Each letter ranges from minus to plus (A- to A+, for instance) depending on the performance the student has, of course.
Secondly, even we have courseworks which count for the final grade, the exams evolve all the content of a module, which is the most significant difference, as in Brazil we have the topics split into 3 exams, along the year. And I have to say that it is scary for me, too much content in a single exam!
Finally, another difference is that exam structures vary a lot. For example, in one of my modules, I will have four questions. If I answer correctly only the first, I'll get a D; if I answer the first and the second, I'll get a C; a B if the first 3 are corrected and all rights would give me an A. That's very strange for me, as if I would be able to answer questions 2, 3 and 4, they would not be considered as I didn't completed right the first one. That's terrible!
The nicest things are that most lecturers explain quite well how it will be the exams, which sort of questions we can expect and also that 5 of my 6 module had a coursework which counts for the final grade. In fact, in three of them I've achieved at least a D- in the module, independent of how I'll perform in the exam.

I hope I don't get mad until there!
See you.
