Right, here we go. It’s mostly good news, my CAP went up (only very marginally) and my predictions were mostly spot-on.

LAJ1201 Japanese Language 1
Pessimistic: A-
Optimistic: A+
Result: A
Well, I was right in the middle for this one. Neatly right smack between the parameters. Objective accomplished.

PL3234 Developmental Psychology
Pessimistic: B-
Optimistic: B+
Result: B+
My prayers are answered! I couldn’t have expected much better since I felt the whole course was cocked up, so again, objective accomplished. However, taking into account how much I enjoyed the module (not much), I’d have to say there’s a direct positive correlation between how much I like a course and how highly I score for it. It may seem obvious, but it’s held very true in my case.

GEK 2500 Living with Chemistry is:
Pessimistic: B-
Optimistic: B+
Result: A-
Well well well! It feels good to be wrong in this case. It also maintains my 100% record of getting only A- for my GEM. Semester 1 GEMs were Genes and Society (A-) and the Arts GEM was about geisha, yakuza and samurai, for which I think I scored an A. Sem 2 was Science of Music, also A-, and now this. I shall try to improve in this area, but I think it will be difficult considering the competition in GEMs, as they are open to the whole uni.

LAC 2201 Chinese 2:
Pessimistic: B+
Optimistic: A
Result: B+
I am most depressingly right for this one. Oh well, at least it wasn’t any worse. My gamble in taking 2 language modules in one sem only paid off halfway. No more Chinese for me. This was also one of the classes I didn’t enjoy as much as I should have.

PL3237 Language and Cognitive Processes
Pessimistic: B
Optimistic: A
Result: A
Aiming high can do wonders, I think, as long as you’ve put in the requisite effort and you have some idea what your final grade is going to be. I definitely enjoyed this module, even though I didn’t grasp the subject matter in the beginning. I am very well pleased with myself, actually. I should use this to remind myself to take a personal interest in my modules, rather than just “I’m taking it because I have to” since I find it yields better grades.

So far, I’m still on the Honours track, although not for a First Class. I suppose it’s worth trying to push it up to a CAP of 4.5 since I’m already so close. At least, if I didn’t make it in the end, it wouldn’t have been for lack of trying. (Aren’t I the peppy prepster.)
