Think... I will fail da above module. If my sentiment is correct, total 3 modules I failed so far.. Dratz!!! I really studied hard for it but brain block!! Well, as they say.. da older u get, da more forgetful u will be..
It is true!! Why? Well, for today's exam..one of da question which carries 15 marks was, "Why managers are so concerned with social responsible behaviour of their firms?" I know da answer. 1 min before stepping into da exam room, I was reading da answer. I wasnt reading it, I was memorizing it to be exact.
Guess what? That question was da very first question and can I answer it happily and confidently? NO!! Reason: I FORGOT!!! The answer should be, 'the firm has its own right to exist depends on its responsiveness to external environment, local government threatens to increase regulation if business does not evolve to meet changing social standards, and responsive corporate social policy may enhance a firm's long term viability.'
So what was my answer? I have no idea what I wrote down as my answers!! I simply write whatever that comes to my mind. There isnt any external environment, local government, corporate social policy, changing social standard as my answers.. These important key words are not in my answers!! So what was my answer?
See, like I told u.. I am suffering from lapse of memory nowadays. Da older u get, da more u forget. I did not remember what I wrote for my answers to da question but I am pretty sure that I didnt write da key words as part of my answers..
Sigh.. Definitely will fail this paper coz I got quite a disheartening low marks for my coursework for da same module. I thought by doing well for da exam can pull up my marks.. but oh well..
Tmr, I have another paper - SMM (P & C) [STRATEGIC MARKETING MANAGEMENT (PLANNING & CONTROL)] so have to burn midnite oil and study for that..
P/S: Passing mark for each module is 45. I hope I can pass SM with above 45 marks.. If not, sigh.. has to retake.. Next term, (starting Jan/Feb), I'll be retaking Year 1: Marketing.. Not sure when will I be taking my Marketing Research (mark is 39!!!)
