Mid-Sem and Comprehensive Sem 2010 MSSS BITS Pilani

In the last post I had blogged about my first closed book MS WILP. Like i had mentioned I have opted for Software Systems.

The mid sem marks were out. I hadnt performed well in Data Mining, so there were no surprises that I didnt get
enough marks.

Here are the mid-sem marks.

 4. IS    ZC415 DATA MINING                   17.50 
 ===============================================================================

I have given my Comprehensive Marks on April 1st and April2nd. Phew. April 2nd was supposed to India vs Sri Lanka WC Finals :)

In the comprehensive exam, Data mining was a flop again. I have not performed well at all. I am little worried if I can get at least a "D" to pass the paper. Else, I have to reappear for Data Mining exam again by paying the complete semester fee after all the 4 sem's get over. This is because the exams will be held only on Saturday and Sunday during the usual Mid-Sem, Comprehensive exam timings. So, there will be no separate slots for us to take up the remaining subjects. 

Hoping to pass in Data Mining. I will update the results once I get my Comprehensive marks.

Note :

I have learnt that its always a nice trick to score well in Mid-Sem exams. Since the Comprehensive exams will be Open book, we might take it very lightly and not prepare well, and end up like I did. So, smash the Mid-Sem papers to atleast get a B overall.
