let me complain..

well, i've finally finished my presentation, and with that, signals the end of my studies in Europe... however, there was simply no joy on my part...=(

didnt do as well as i've hoped. it's true when the professor commented that we didnt go into detail, or rather, didnt meet his expectations. but i've had this feeling that we were misled, through the meetings we had earlier, into thinking what we had done so far were sufficient. well, what else could i do now...? amount of work put into the project = not necessarily be reflected by the grades... and what is the exact requirements of any project? people spending time inside the lab, collecting data, and coming up with graphs, disgrams and SEM pics end up getting high marks. for us, time spent discussing with various private companies, working towards the agenda set by the company and eventually ending with no graphs, charts end up with nothing? maybe what the professor said in the end was right, we are afterall doing an academic project, so even if we were to include absolutely useless stuff (but through these work will reflect that we have put in lots of thoughts and considerations), we would have secure more points instead... ha~

anyway, this is what is meant by results-oriented and process-oriented.

Some ppl have diff criteria.
