The Midterm exam was over!





 I don't have been writing for a long time. I guess I did not write about a week. In fact, there was a reason. This is because this was the midterm exam period for Korean college students!
 In general, a Korean university lasts 16 weeks. So at the 8th and 16th weeks, I'm going to take the midterm and the final exam. This week was the 8th. Do you think did I take the exam well? I do not want to answer that. ;)
 
 Today I want to talk briefly about the criteria that a university scores. Korean university students went to high school and come to university. But they can't stop studying too at university. I had to study at high school as if everything was going to be over when pass at university. However, as in university, you don't have to study the way of memorizing unconditionally like in high school. Instead, study at universities requires a lot of thought, and grades are assessed through various assignments.
 
 During high school, I used to take exams to score and get grade by percentage. There are 1 to 9 grades and the highest grade is grade 1. About 4% of students were able to get 1st grade. But university is a little different. Universities generally divide their scores into A, B, and C. Approximately 30% of students receive 'A' and 30% of students receive 'C'. In the middle 40% of students receive a 'B'. + (PLUS) score like 'A +', 'B +', 'C +' can be given at the discretion of the professor within that range. There are also 'D' and 'F' scores. However, this score is a special score. It is a special grade that professor can judge and give regardless of the ratio. (Of course, the word 'special' here is not a good mean.)
 
 The score is calculated by adding attendance score + midterm score + assignment score + final exam score. Each professor may have different weighting points. If the professor don't give any assignment, the grades are determined only by attendance score + midterm exam score + final exam score. This depends on professor's discretion.
 
 It seems a bit sad that I have to get my grades even after I leave high school and come to university. However, I am satisfied that it is not the life to live for examination like high school. Because university students have more time than high school students, there is also an opportunity to experience various experiences. So, if who should ask to me "if you can return to high school again, will you return?", and I will say "NO!"


 P.S. The Midterm exam was over, so I should post articles hard again.

GamdongRan : convenience stores food - GS25

Image
 The food to eat today is Gamdong-Ran. Do you know what Gamdong-Ran is? Interestingly, it is an egg that tasted is so 'touched'. It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt. Also, it is more delicious to cook the egg so that the yolk does not become fully cooked when boiled. Today I am going to try the Gamdong-Ran.  As you can see in the picture, two eggs are packed in one pack. When you eat one, the other one eats soon. It's size is not large. One egg contains 50 grams, and one pack contains 100 grams. Let's look at the nutrients. It is one standard for reference. The calories are 62.5 kcal, containing 0.55 g of carbohydrate, 0.1 g of sugar, 6.35 g of protein, 3.85 g of fat, 1.4 g of saturated fat, 0 g of trans fat, 132.4 mg of cholesterol and 191.5 mg of sodium.  The price is 1,900 won.

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

Image
 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson Dynasty. This is also a
