After a long long time, an exam without any problem solving question in it! I didn’t have any midterm paper with no mathematical problem since my freshman year in college! Well, it’s kind of fun though. But you gotta be expert in 2 things to rock in these types of tests: ability of neatly presenting the thoughts and of course time management skills. And I’m pathetic in both! Anyway, I totally agree with Prabal regarding the review session, it was extremely effective and really helped me to clarify the confusions in machine learning. Plus, so-called the “big-0” ontology doesn’t seem that blurry anymore!
Like other not-so-good at time management guys in the class, I spent lots of time on the 2 pointers! After realizing that one-third time’s gone, started with the 10 pointers. As Jing mentioned, I was also confused with “pre-design” and that killed some time! Well finally when I started the 5 pointers, had almost no time to finish them all. I barely touched the HCI question, the only topic Dr. Kahol had covered! I can visualize his expression when he will find that on the paper!
Anyway, there’s nothing to do about it now, but I’m glad that the prep for the mid helped me deeply understanding the topics. I actually had a group study session with few of our genius fellow classmates, and the brainstorming in that session was most effective in the learning process.
