Brief Test Not So Well

October 30th, 2008

I did my teaching for the fire department. I got down there a little early to set up class. I got my information gathered. Then they started to arrive. I went through the whole process of filling out the timecards and time logs. It was well.

I high tailed it down to Colfax for my training there. I was missing the stuff of Miranda warnings. I sat in on the remainder of that class and then asked some questions.

All of a sudden I realized that we had a test and I had not fully studied. So I took five minutes to review the notes. Not nearly enough time in order to do awesome on the test.

It was worth eighty points. I actually did well, scoring the third best grade in the class. I was in the mid-eighties percentage-wise. There were other people who did really bad.

I got to questions I did not remember the full answer to, but I thought through it and I was able to come up with a lot of answers or partial answers.

But when the test was done and we graded them, it was clear some people did poorly. The instructors tore into the whole class about it. I think they may have lit a fire under some of these people. There were some who were not taking things seriously and they were not getting the work done. I hope this is the turning point.
