So today I recieved the last of my grades for the partial. Overall they're still around the same averages as usuals, which is okay since they're among the highest of the class anyway, but among them was something of a first for me... failing an exam (and since it was 50% of the grade, there goes that half down the drain...).
Not just a failure, it was the one (well, tied with someone else) with the lowest grade, and said grade was an almost-0. Worse thing is, that the teacher of that subject took everyone off-guard because at the last second, that being when he was handing out the exams, he mentioned the contents of the exam were (not totally, but it was still coming-from-left-field type of) unrelated to what he had been repeating this whole time about what we had to study.
And not just that, we have been working in teams of 3 on a project that would span the whole semester, and we had to present what we had until now on the day of the exam. And he even had the nerve to say he did us a favor since he wasn't originally going to grade the ones done by teams who weren't made up by 4 people, and as such, be an automatic failure. Excuse me? didn't he himself had said weeks before the teams HAD to be of 3? Fortunetly this wasn't as bad for me, because since we're 28 in class and that meant the leftover, which happened to be me, go figure, had to get into an existign team, so we were a team of 4 anyway, and appearantly a few did were grouped in 4's but still, most of the class was in teams of 3's and even 2's so that would've been almost 2/3 of the group failing if not it's so...
I hate this, this is way much worse than 4 semesters ago when we had that same teacher on a different subject. I know he was VERY strict and had practically his own way of doing things than the rest of the teachers... but this was too much to bear...
