Slide 16
Hi, My name is Xxx Yyy (PYx) and I was looking over my exam
today and realized I had not penciled in 4 questions 28-31 on the
exam, and therefore was not granted credit, even though my circled
responses were on the actual exam. 3 out of the 4 of them I would
have gotten correctly have i had darkened them in on the scantron.
i guess my point in emailing you was to bring forth to your
attention that there could be more attention focused on the grading
side,
Slide 17
since errors like these do occur on side of students, and they
could be neutralized by exam-graders. i feel that i have submitted
to you, if not in full manner, still adequate answers that should
have been noticed, since they were clearly missing on the scantron
sheet as well as the summary grade sheet. I appreciate quick
grading and prompt return of exams, but I would like to ask you if
more thorough grading could be implemented in the future. Thanks
for your time
Slide 18

Slide 22
Vows of a Pharmacy Student
Slide 23
I realize what an important opportunity pharmacy school is for
me. I realize it is impossible to cram for exams and perform well
in pharmacy school. I realize it is impossible to miss sleep and
perform well in pharmacy school. I realize it is impossible to eat
poorly and perform well in pharmacy school.
Slide 24
Therefore, I vow to: Study every day. Eliminate distractions.
Eat healthy meals. Exercise regularly. Maintain a healthy sleep
schedule. Do all these things, especially during block exams. I
will remember and uphold these vows.
Slide 25
