The exam itself is extremely intense. They fill entire halls with hundreds of equally spaced desks, all facing the same direction. They sent out final exam regulations requiring your electronic signature. Ten minutes prior to the start of the exam, an "invigilator" reads off actions that will result in expulsion, over the PA system. Calculators must be checked and all memory erased. The exam has a dress code. The whole thing was rather intimidating and there was a loud thunderstorm during my final which added to the ominous atmosphere. I believe I passed though which is what ultimately matters. I would have liked to take a picture of the regulation examination hall but would be scared of getting expelled for bringing a camera into the hall; it seemed like a high security military research facility.
Most manikins in South-east Asia do not have heads, but for the ones that do this is standard procedure:
I recently experienced a laptop tragedy. In an attempt to play a network game with an off-campus local, I installed a free network adapter from the Internet. It did not work and as a result of installing it my computer FLIPPED out and would not let me access the Internet. My mouse cursor was spazzing out and windows would not shutdown properly. A number of people spent hours trying to fix the problem and spending a couple hours at the campus tech desk did nothing for the problem. Normally I would take my laptop to the RPI help desk and let them work their magic but that resource is unavailable here. I eventually bypassed the issue by installing Linux; when I get back to RPI I can re-image. Linux is fun but it makes using some applications very difficult...
