We have completed all the exams for the CCNA1 Network fundamentals course and I know I did well. I don’t know what my final mark was but I know I passed.
For this part of my entry I need you to imagine clown music playing in the background and envision your teacher in a clown costume.
We sat down to take the test. It was on-line and was written by the teacher. Immediately we all noticed problems with the test. Some of the questions had blank options. Other questions consisted of matching options in the left column to items on the right. One of these questions only had five answers but none of the options to match them to. On top of that he had used check boxes that only allow you to choose one answer. He told us that he would be removing the seven questions from the test. Super rad.
The lab exam involved us subnetting a network. This is where my stupidity shines through. We had to subnet a class C network and then use the subnet number corresponding to our station number. I missed that part of the explanation. So I sat there getting frustrated because I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing with the numbers I had. I got the right answer right near the beginning but I didn’t know it. I had the most simple one in the class. I had station one so I got to use the first useable subnet. When I finally spoke to the teacher it became clear as this was the point that I learned that vital piece of information. So with him there I scribbled out the answer I already had and moved on to the troubleshooting portion of the test.
If you think missing important information like that makes me dumb wait until you hear this. Dom and I are leaving after class and he gives me shit. He had seen me freaking during the exam so he figured out the answers for me and had been trying to give them to me. In my frustration I hadn’t noticed. I knew he was trying to tell me something but I just didn’t pay attention…
