First final exams

The electrical engineering exam was pretty nasty compared to all the homework, midterm and past paper questions. The teaching group apparently believed that the past exams were too easy and decided to challenge us to see who knew their stuff best.
I knew my stuff, but I didn't always understand what I needed to do at that moment.

The CS exam was pretty easy, possibly too easy. I was expecting some programming challenges in there, but there was none, just a lot of program tracing. The teaching group were probably too happy when they made the exam.

I hope most people are like that.

Update:
My hypothesis came true. The mean of the CS exam was high and the standard deviation was huge. Grades really are going to be pointless.
