Congratulations! It's not pointless, it's an accomplishment. Go ahead and be happy & proud x

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Alot can happen between now and then. So for now just enjoy the victory you've earned, congratulations!

 

[Jean4]

That's great! What kind of exams?

 

[Moonicide]

I'm happy for you, love! It's not pointless. An accomplishment is still an accomplishment, regardless of what the future may hold for you. It's worth acknowledging and we are proud of you.

 

[Epsilon0]

Well done @Roro90 ! I hope you can enjoy your success!

 

[Empty Smile]

Congratulations! It's not pointless that you accomplished it. Be proud of yourself for it.

 

[Woodnote]

Congratulations! It's not pointless at all. Be happy and proud of this accomplishment. You deserve it.

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

Congratulations you should be so proud!

 

[LivingToLong]

Well done you! Of course you should be happy/proud of your achievement. Allow yourself to smile, no ifs or buts. You've done well and you've earned it.

 

[cosmicpixiedust]

Congratulations! You should definitely be proud of yourself!

 

[mediocre]

Congratulations to you! I remember doing my exams and going to college I found it so difficult. But I got through it with support.

In all honesty, I think exams are a cruel and ineffective way to measure... um, whatever they are meant to measure. Why do we even need to measure?

Things totally unrelated to your course of study are being tested in an exam room; you're ability to handle stress not least. If you've slept badly the night before, if you're ill, if you're on...

I managed my way through my degree thanks to a number of units being assessed by course work and/or tutor assessment. I feel that's a much better way to measure one's abilities. Essays were stressful enough for me!

although my life is all about exams at this point :(

I worked for the Department of Health specializing in Infectious Diseases and terminal illness. Do you have a specialty?

 

[LivingToLong]

it's very important to examines students at this field

Important to assess, yes. Does it need to be done with an exam though?

I'd be very interested in a discussion of this, but not on @Roro90's thread. It's not his decision to require exams and he's got good reason to celebrate. That's what we're focussing on in this thread.

@Roro90, echoing @Jean4: What's your specialization? [tossing congratulatory confetti around]

 

[LivingToLong]

he's got good reason to celebrate.

And you'll perhaps see that I celebrated with them earlier in the thread. I'm not dismissing their achievements, nor indeed anyones. Exams are hard work, for reasons more than they ought be, imo. Which is where I was going with my comment.

That's what we're focussing on in this thread.

So we're not allowed to broaden the scope into relevant areas? That's a natural flow of conversation, no?

@Jean4: What's your specialization? [tossing congratulatory confetti around]

Sorry, I thought we focusing on celebrating Roro90's exam result? ;)

 

[Thereisnothing]

Wow its great to have some happy and positive news, well done, am so proud. Dont think its a waste of time, you have accomplished alot here with lots of hard work and determination. Pat yourself on the back, again and again. Even if what we achieve or do is only small and seems insignificant, believe me its not, one thing leads to another and then so does confidence, one step at a time.

And did anyone congratulate you upon your achievement??

 

[Jean Améry]

Congratulations.

If you're doing well perhaps you should consider finishing your studies first. You can still kick the proverbial bucket later.

 

[EmptyArms]

Excellent result! Very well done indeed, and in the face of great adversity. Shows strength of character and determination as well as ability. I'm very proud of you.

Sure, if others want to flow that way. You seemed more interested in putting @Roro90 on the spot for unknown reasons. Seriously, I urge you to start a thread about the topic of alternatives to testing. It's too good to be just an add-on.

Deliberately strip away all context much? I was asking @Roro90 and you know it. Peace x
