Chapter 166 Final Assessment
In addition to the thirty-six classic composite rune pictures, He Xi also prepared a stack of information for Gaode that was half a person tall.
All of this information combined is all the knowledge points of the third and fourth stages of the "Rune Literature" course.
It took Amap two and a half months to master all the knowledge in the first two stages of the course that originally took two years.
He Xi actually had some expectations about how long it would take Gaode to master the knowledge of the third and fourth stages of the course.
In particular, the teaching method he chose is still very unreliable: he only provides information and leaves everything else to Gaode's self-study.
But this does not mean that He Xi is irresponsible.
The fundamental reason is that "education" is a very contradictory thing.
Just take the field of runes as an example.
Anyone who wants to develop in the field of runes may take many detours or even go astray if he does not receive systematic education.
Even if the former gets back on track afterwards, it still wastes precious time. Once it comes and goes, there may not be enough life left to explore the more advanced knowledge of runes.
Not to mention the latter, it is simply in vain.
But if the education you receive is too systematic and you rely too much on the theories and experiences of your instructors or even predecessors, you will often become a "craftsman" without the ability to think independently in the later stages.
What the "craftsman" can do is simply draw the magic circle according to the drawings.
Not only the instructor needs to grasp this degree, but the students themselves also need to grasp it.
Fortunately, Gaode is talented enough, so He Xi, as a tutor, can be lazy but rest assured that Gaode will teach him everything on his own. He is only responsible for providing knowledge and answering questions.
This kind of education method is misleading to other people, but it is extremely suitable for Gao De.
Gaode has no objection to this either.
He is someone who likes to study by himself, so that he can freely adjust his learning progress according to his own situation without wasting time.
Time passes day by day.
The days in college always pass quickly, especially when your life is full of all kinds of things, you will find that time passes faster.
For Gaode, this is even more true.
After taking sixteen courses, he will have at least two courses to attend every day.
As for rune literature, we have to take time to study it every day.
The time for practice is also fixed and cannot be reduced.
From the perspective of outsiders, this kind of life is no longer lived by humans, but by machines.
But for Gothe, the feeling of gaining knowledge every day brings infinite psychological satisfaction to him.
This kind of satisfaction will cover up fatigue to a large extent.
The Frozen Moon gradually returned to calm after the ups and downs at the beginning of the month.
The waves seem to have subsided, but the undercurrent underneath is still brewing.
At least half of the people are waiting to see how much fun this freshmen class will have, waiting to see how many courses "Madman" Gothe will eventually pass and how many credits he will get.
And in this kind of superficial attention, Frozen Moon came to an end quietly.
There is something special about the end of the frozen month.
In Sires College, for a major course like "Runeology", the duration of one phase of the course spans an entire academic year.
But the following branch courses, generally speaking, the courses The time span won't be that long.
The teaching time of most branch courses is three months, and the longest is only half a year.
Of the eight elective courses Gaode took at the beginning, three were required courses, and there was also a major course "Rune Literature".
The remaining four courses are all branch courses.
In addition to "Cultivation of Magic Plants", which gives students some time to cultivate magic plants, and the course spans four months, the remaining three branch courses are: "Geography and War Geography of Nolan Continent", "Understanding of General Spells (Level 0-3)" and "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials", the course time is a standard three months.
And the final end-of-course assessments are all arranged at the end of the month.
In other words, Gothe will usher in his first "examination week" at Sires Academy.
The first test is from "Understanding of General Spells (Level 0-Level 3)".
This is a purely theoretical water course.
The form of the course assessment is not complicated. The college will issue a paper, and then the students who choose the course will answer the questions within one hour.
On the 30th of the Ice Moon, morning.
The assessment classroom arranged by the college was packed with students.
The attendance rate of this water course ranks among the top in the college all year round.
"All students participating in the assessment are asked to place their identity plates in the upper left corner of the table for review."
"The entire exam is closed book. Once someone is found to be cheating, we will not tolerate it and will give it to him. The committee will handle it. I hope you will not make such a principled mistake."
An unknown old mage entered the classroom with a stack of "exam papers". After giving a lecture on examination room discipline, he said to the side. The staff member he led nodded.
The staff member understood the situation and took out a small alchemy machine. In order, the first student who came in through the gate began to check the identity information.
Gaode sat in a daze, waiting for his hair to be curled.
In the final assessment of all courses in the college, regardless of the assessment form, the scores are on a "100-point system."
Sixty points is the base line. If you reach this score, you will pass the assessment and you can get credits for the course.
However, in addition to credits, there is also an indicator to assist in evaluating student performance, called "grade points."
This is also one of the important supporting measures for Seris College to implement the credit system.
The grade point is calculated as 10% of the grade of the course and then minus five.
For example, if you get a score of sixty points in the final assessment of "General Spells (Level 0-3)", your grade point is 10% of sixty points, "six" minus "five" , as one.
The biggest function of grade points is to remove moisture. The college clearly requires that in most ranking and weight calculations that use credits as the criterion, the average grade point must reach three or above before being allowed to participate in the calculation.
In the case of equal credits, the one with the higher grade point will be given priority.
This can prevent students from taking a bunch of courses and passing assessments to get credits.
After checking the identity information, the staff began to hand out papers.
The title is neatly written on exquisite parchment paper, and the ink smells good.
Gaode narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on the test questions.
There are not many questions, they are all questions that are transformed from the knowledge points in the course.
"If you want to go deep into the snowy plains of Hejian, as a level 1 mage, can you do it and by what method?"
The first question is a classic question with points to build confidence among the students.
The answer is also very simple.
“Yes, through the 1st-level protection spell [Endure Environment].”
"In the dark forest, as a 2nd level mage who specializes in illusion school spells, you encountered a group of earth-line creatures entrenched here. How to safely pass through this area without direct combat?"
< br>This question is a little bit more difficult. First of all, you should pay attention to the question: "A 2nd level mage who specializes in illusion school spells."
So the scope of the spell is limited to the illusion school and within the 2nd level spell.
“In an encounter with bandits, you are surrounded by enemies and want to break out quickly and ensure safety. Please describe the spell you would choose and why.”
Gothe wrote and worked on it without stopping.
For Gaode, who has thoroughly mastered all the teaching materials of this course through [Divine Guidance +], these questions seem to be a lot of twists and turns, but in fact, none of them are difficult.
As soon as you see the question stem, the answer will come naturally.
They are all given points!
After writing a lot, Gaode soon came to the last question.
It is indeed the last question, because a whole page is reserved for this question. Obviously this is a big question.
This is also the question with the highest score in the entire test paper, accounting for forty points.
However, when Gothe saw the title, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It’s not that anyone leaked the question to him in advance, but because
“Suppose you are a level 3 mage who is proficient in various spells and is sent to a place occupied by new leyline creatures. To investigate the area, investigate the level of the new leyline, please design a comprehensive spell strategy to enter the area as safely as possible, obtain the required information, and leave safely."
Gaodekan. The title is simple, but the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes
"It can't be a question adapted from Hogan's Leyline, right?"
"Uh"
And, is the so-called last question just like this?
It is indeed a water class!
Gothe thought of this, no longer hesitated, and started to write.
After writing again and again, I solved the last question in a few minutes.
Picked up the "test paper" and checked it. After confirming that nothing was missing, Gaode packed up his things, stood up and handed in the paper.
The old mage sitting above supervising the students raised his eyebrows at Gaode who came up to hand in the paper.
The "General Spell Understanding" course is not difficult, especially the last question, which has always been an open-ended question. As long as students make sense, they can usually get most of the points.
If you just get half of the first 60 points, you will pass the assessment.
So the pass rate for this course is almost 100%.
However, it is still rare for students to hand in papers so quickly.
Thinking like this, the old mage glanced at Gothe's "test paper" from the corner of his eye.
The next moment, his small eyes were narrowed into slits.
Huh?
It’s very full.
He reached for the paper, stared at the questions filled with Gaode's answers, and reviewed them line by line.
The first question is correct, and I will give you points, which is normal.
The second question is also correct and quite serious.
Question 3.
Looking along the way, the old mage found that he couldn't find the slightest mistake in Gaode.
The passing rate of "General Spell Knowledge" is high, but this is only because magic is a basic ability for mages and is closely connected with their lives. They already have a certain knowledge base of the course before taking classes.
And many of the questions in the assessment are just reasonable and have no fixed answers, so it is easy to score.
But this does not mean that this is an easy subject to get high scores.
This is a subject much like "Chinese".
It's hard to fail;
but it's also hard to get high marks.
Getting a perfect score is even more difficult than "mathematics".
The old mage's expression became more solemn. When he saw the last line of the last question, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
If Gaode were to grade this paper, he would give it a high score of over ninety-five.
The previous answers are all correct, and you get sixty points.
The only deduction point is the last big question.
But it wasn’t because he discovered any omissions in Gaode’s answer to this question.
It’s this kind of open-ended question. No matter how you answer the question, no matter how casual you are, you will get more or less points.
Similarly, no matter how perfect it is, some points will be deducted more or less.
Because there is no perfect magic strategy.
