Comments on: PDEng 35: Turn for the Better http://www.randomprocess.ca/2007/06/12/pdeng-35-turn-for-the-better/ NOT just another WordPress weblog. What were they thinking when they came up with that tagline anyways?

I guess it's really do as I say, not as I do when it comes to PDEng. In any case, I'll be attending the PDEng 55 workshop tomorrow in an attempt to pass this damned course once and for all. Of course my request for a mark review is nowhere to be found - I'd imagine the plan all along was to not even look at those until AFTER the workshop. Much use that is... Haha, what a joke.

I feel that the ethical dilemma assignment was a great idea, but - like everything else - it was a great idea executed poorly. Why couldn't we explain a dilemma as ourselves instead of a fictional character. The reason I say this is because I failed the assignment because I slipped and apparently assumed Yin was a male. Clearly the name Yin is female beyond a reasonable doubt to every person in Canada ;). My submission failed for this reason only, and when I disputed the mark by saying that I completed the objective and learned the material, the response from the lead mentor was, "Your writing present ideas of module. The problem that fundamental missed and can be considered inappropriate." How awesome is that response. The even better part was that I had 3 negative comments for my grammar on the next assignment.
