--- Quote from: Thrillho on 05 May 2020, 13:13 ---My university was an ex polytechnic, and my degree was vocational journalism. It made no sense to examine things like 'how well you write' under timed conditions. Or more accurately, our timed exams were over multiple days, because they were live exercises like working in the industry.

--- Quote from: hedgie on 05 May 2020, 11:26 ---Absolutely. I had to take public transit 2 hours each way, and there were a few finals where I'd have passed the course with a solid "B", based upon points alone if I didn't take them, but the policy was that if you didn't show, it was an automatic fail. So I had to waste four hours in transit to basically just sign my name and hand in a blank paper. Of course, once I was there, I just took the damned exam, since why not?

It was the institution's policy, not the profs.
