:S

After today, i am convinced that my school is screwed.

My friends and I were rushing through our lab report even before special sem started. And believe me, it was hard getting back to work after a tiring semester had just ended. This was the instruction given in the workbin for inorganic chem lab. ' All lab reports have to be completed and submitted by 6 pm on the day of the experiment. No reports will be accepted after 6 pm on that day. The exception is for experiments carried out during the first session; the lab reports are due the first thing in the morning of the next practical session (for those who started with experiment 3, you have till the end of that day). '

'(for those who started with experiment 3, you have till the end of that day).' How would you interpret this? It was bad enough that they did not want to reveal which experiments we were doing for the first lab session. So all of us were quite afraid that there was a possibility that we would be doing experiment 3. The worse thing was that only after i finished doing the lab report for almost a day i suddenly saw joyce data sheet where she wrote data for week 1 and data for week 2. That means the experiment spans over 2 weeks! How are we going to finish the report by 6pm that day on the first lab session? Haiz the system is so screwed.. We were convinced that they made a serious error cos they announced today during the briefing that the report is only due at 6pm on the second lab session if we start off with experiment 3.

The next thing was the particular statement which stated that 'The exception is for experiments carried out during the first session; the lab reports are due the first thing in the morning of the next practical session.' Because of my surname, i had a strong feeling that i would start off with experiment 4, which i did today. Being afraid that there was not enough time to finish the report when i ended lab i also went to prepare the report for experiment 4. Haiz and what happened again today?They announced during briefing that we were allowed to hand up our report 1 week later for the first lab session.

Haiz what is this??

Tmr's organic lab is a mystery again. Are we supposed to hand up on the day itself? Soft or hard copy? Its a mystery only to be known during briefing tmr:S
