I had a supplementary paper graded F because, among other things
(but this is the main thing) i prescribed exercises using KB
instead of DB. Yes, they actually made a fuss on this, when they
are all weight, sandbags, stones or whatever.
And other sound (according to us) but "bizzare" (according to the
mainstreamist) exercise advice. But in the first place the examiner
wanted me to combine everything and come up with my own exercise
programme.
I went for appeal. Although it looks like a low chance to get a
pass. My paper has been marked by several people who also agreed on
their decision.
Went for a meeting with the staff today. I was actually told that
it would be better that i prescribe "biceps curl, triceps extension
blah blah blah...". WTF! I could have just given them the standard
textbook answers, but i trust the integrity of the marker and
thought that they would be open minded enough to judge
objectively.
Of course i gave my reasons, and my reasons were already written on
the paper in as short and as concise a manner as possible. In the
meeting i refered them to my answers several times, but they just
do not see it.
Of course, i can go into more details and write a book. But what
can you expect from a 2 hour paper?
Injustice!!
Just keep my fingers crossed and pray that justice would prevail.
When OPT become mainstream, there would be justice.
Sorry for the rant.
