Put to the test

a poorly-trained helper-monkey... in Elizabethan costumeIn the last three days I have sat three exams, each at 4.30pm. Tomorrow I will sit another… at 9.00am.

For those of you keeping score, that’s a paltry 15 hours between one exam finishing and the next starting.

After that, I wait until mid-week, and then I wait another week. That’s four in as many days, then two in two weeks.

I rest my case, your honour, it is plain to see that the University of Nottingham’s time-tabling is organised entirely by a poorly-trained helper monkey.

  • I have 3 9am exams in a row, nothing for two weeks, two 9am exams in one week, then one 3pm and 2 9am exams the week after :P

  • A poorly-trained helper monkey whose password to the system is easy to obtain?

  • At least you don’t have to go on some kafka-esque internet journey to find out when and where your exams are…
