MAPUA : bakit ayaw hirapan yun entrance exam ?

[houndz]

why ?

[Introvert_S]

according to my Mapuan friend, this is the tactic of the admin to attract more freshmen because yearly tuition increases will be imposed on every new batch

...nothing new really...

[the_BuGs]

well sabi ng ibang mapuans sa akin .. madali daw makapasok sa Mapua.. madali ka rin daw mapapalayas! (kick out! )

[AbulugAdventure]

Agree ako dyan, the Bugs, madali nga lang makapsok sa MIT, pagpasok mo naman dyan pahihirapan ka ng husto. In Engineering, dati 4 ang Engineering Drawing dyan, buti nga ngayon 2 na lang, e. Meron pa ngang nagkwento sa kin, naka-take 5 daw ng Integral Calculus. Yung kaibigan kong super talino munting ng lumagapak sa Diff. Equations, e. Ang lowaet possible grade nila dyan ay 0, not 50!!! A score 10/100 does not spell 65% but 10%!!! Pahihirapan ka talaga nila masyado dyan.

Engineering is definitely one of the most difficult course.

Try UP or UST baka you'll end up 7 yrs.

[clawed_out]

isn't it that most of the Universities practice Such?

how patheTic.

True, but in Mapua, talagang pipigain ka masyado. Imagine receiving a grade of 10% sa isang exams mo? kasama yun sa computation nga grades mo 10% as in!!! Kaya maraming umaalis sa Mapua kasi sobrang hirap daw talaga, some even say na mas mahirap pa raw sa UP (that's what they say). Isang exam sabi ng classmate ko ngayon ganito ang instruction - for 50 points, draw the whole periodic table, kasama yung atomic numbe, atomic mass, electron configuration, etc. as in - LAHAT!!!

[criskyut]

hmm..narinig ko lang. kaya daw madali admission test sa mapua kasi mahirap naman daw mag-aral dun...

normal naman na yata yan sa engg.(maski sa ibang schools) , ako nga may 6/100 , as in 6% ha, kaya mahirap makahabol sa passing

[makulitz]

talaga lang!!! proven na na madali ang entrance exams ng mit... tanong nyo pa sa mga mapuans.. lang kagatol-gatol sasabihin yan na oo... pero once na nasa loob ka na, tulad ng sinabi ng iba, mahirap talaga... im wondering nga kung pano pa kaya ang training sa UP... knowing na they're the best skul in every field... juz wonderin'...

[Aquinatis]

Wala naman silang makukuha kung mahirap ang entrance exmas nila... baka mas kaunti pa ang pumasok dun...

[karl_edvard]

i think its so unreasonable to let students "draw" the periodic table. hay naku, parang ginagawang med or law yung engg. Engg should be analytical at hindi memorization!!!!

Anywhere you go 10/100 is really 10%. You don't have to be an engineer to figure that out. LOL

[AbulugAdventure]

10/100 exams equivalent to only 10%?!! It is implemented in MIT only. The equivalent of that score is around 60 to 63%, in MIT, it is 10% Lolz! That's kinda outrageous!

Greenarcher: I'm taking about grade equivalents here, not mathematical operation, ok?

karl: Yes, they did that. Imagining memorizing even the smallest quatum number?!! What the... Lolz! Your head will surely turn upside down.

[clawed_out]

getting 10 out of 100 should be graded 60%?

what in the world has the quality of education come up to to grade them higher than what they should get.

ano pa? are they being graded with their behaviour?

[jomark]

[AbulugAdventure]

clawed_out: several schools are using 50% as the base, so if you get zero as your raw score, you'll get 50%, and of course, that's a failing mark. If you got the half of the total items right, you'll get around 75%. I hope you get it now.

It is not really "grading them higher than what they should get". Depende na yun sa base grade ng teacher/school.

I cant imagine a UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE not having that grading system.

Nothing really to be proud of abulug. MANY if not most univs here have that system.

Tigilan na mga ang mga pabidang lines like "madaling pumasok pero mahirap talagang magstay" / "madali lang matanggap pero pahihirapan ka pag pasok" EK EK na yan. LAHAT NG SKULS KAYANG I-CLAIM YAN.

DuH mapua?! logic please

---> the King!

Hard sell. That was probably the reason why you get hard up coping the subjects. Ideally, you need more "brains" to head up any engineering course. The title of the thread itself my dear. student selectivity ain't that that good. logic?

the reason for giving such a ridiculous exam is not to test the memorization skills or intelligence or whatever of the students, TAMAD LANG GUMAWA NG EXAM YUNG TEACHER!

wow! parang high school ah!
