I had a supplementary paper graded F because, among other things (but this is the main thing) i prescribed exercises using KB instead of DB. Yes, they actually made a fuss on this, when they are all weight, sandbags, stones or whatever.
And other sound (according to us) but "bizzare" (according to the mainstreamist) exercise advice. But in the first place the examiner wanted me to combine everything and come up with my own exercise programme.
I went for appeal. Although it looks like a low chance to get a pass. My paper has been marked by several people who also agreed on their decision.
Went for a meeting with the staff today. I was actually told that it would be better that i prescribe "biceps curl, triceps extension blah blah blah...". WTF! I could have just given them the standard textbook answers, but i trust the integrity of the marker and thought that they would be open minded enough to judge objectively.
Of course i gave my reasons, and my reasons were already written on the paper in as short and as concise a manner as possible. In the meeting i refered them to my answers several times, but they just do not see it.
Of course, i can go into more details and write a book. But what can you expect from a 2 hour paper?
Injustice!!
Just keep my fingers crossed and pray that justice would prevail. When OPT become mainstream, there would be justice.
Sorry for the rant.
