Quotes
The amount of curriculum tested [in the final exam] are so slim that it could come down to basic luck.
Too many mandatory assignments. They lasted up until a couple of weeks before the examination. There was such a high workload on the assignments, that between the assignments and the other courses this semester, I had a hard time finding time to read the curriculum along the way (which was a lot of material)
