grading system

one of the things that i really hate in our university is our grading system .. it's a very irrational system .. and i'm sure i'm not the only one complaining from it .. coz people who don't have the ability to memorize very well won't have a chance to make good grades .

we had this discussion last week .. some poeple do have photographic memory .. and they tend to memorize the page and the line where the answer exists .. but others have limited capacity of memorizing .. and those are the poeple who suffer .. most of your grade depend on the final written exam ,, it's ( THE exam) if you messed up then you won't get a good gpa eventually ..
some people faced this problem and what's sad about it is that they are extremely good in their clinical work .. they have the skills .. and they do understand what they're doing .. but they may get irritated and they can't function under stress .. or too much informations gets mixed up in their head ..

the grades must be distributed equally between clinical and written exam .. so it would be fair for all students .. and it should be distributed through the whole year ... like continuos assessment ..
and about 6th year that consitutes 60% of the grade is a very stupid idea .. coz it makes 6th year students suffer trying not to mess up this year coz their whole future depend on it .. if the student is an A+ student through all the years and in this final year she messed up .. then her effort and hard work through all these years is just wasted .. some poeple concentrate more on this year while they were playing before and raise their grades up dramatically ..

serious changes needs to be done to this system coz it's soo unfair to alot of students who spend alot of effort and time in their clinical work .. trying to finish their requirements through the whole year .. but didn't give much attention to the theoritical part .. if the requirements were not finished and you did well in the final exam you still have the chance to get an A

so i guess my advice is to concentrate more on studying the materials you're taking .. instead of the clinical work which constitute the least percentage of the final grade

playing the role of two characters

This is something i noticed in myself .. i don't know if you all have it or not .. but i have two characters .. the prffesional role and the usual everyday role ..

In university i tend to put on a mask and play the proffesional role .. someone once told me that this is how i should pretend to be just to gain respect from the doctors or from the patients .. and even with my collegues .. the proffesional face is the serious face that shows responsibility and sense of authority .. with no sense of humor or anything .. someone i know once told me ( if i saw a good looking dentist i don't trust him ) lol i think it's funny actually coz being good looking has nothing to do with your work quality .. but patients have different prespectives in judging a good dentist .. they think a good dentist is the one who makes a quick and painless procedures .. not caring to know what's inside .. coz they come to the office and they're frightened already so when this person ease their pain and fear they worship him .. being gentle and nice is an important trait and you should also show that you have enough knowledge and experience .. always makes them hear what they wanna hear ..if she said she feels pain then she does .. give her more anaesthesia and don't just shut her and tell it's in your head you're anaesthetized .. even if you think you gave her enough pretend that you give her but don't inject lol .. i had this kind of patients and i've learnt how to deal with them ..

the other role is the real me ..well what can i say about myself .. a simple person and always trying to cheer up the people around me .. kinda living in my own world and i like making fun of people and talking to everyone .. i don't really care wether it's a guy or a girl but i have no boundaries .. you can say open - minded ... i dunno but i noticed myself being totally different person in the university .. cautious all the time .. and caring about my public image and what people say or think about me .. so i wear a stupid mask that i created for myself to keep this image .. i really hate it but i should live by the rules even if i think it's hypocrisy .. coz you can't change people's mentality .. if they're not open minded then they'll stay this way and nothing can change their opinion .. they will judge you and spread rumors about you and i really don't need this right now ..
