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. It is about $ 1.7. You can think that it is

Green Car : How to use Car sharing in Korea

Image
 Do you know car sharing services? Maybe you should have heard it once. In general, car sharing means starting from the recognition that it is wasteful for purchasing a car. So a local or group to own a car to use a simple purpose vehicle, and then sharing it on a time scale basis.  However, in Korea, it started as a new car rental business by companies, and it is developed mainly in metropolitan and central cities. It is characterized by the fact that there is almost no car sharing zone in rural areas. So it was not easy to see car sharing cars in the area where I grew up. However, because I came to Seoul, I have a lot of chance to meet car sharing zones, and usually I can rent a car and use it.  Let's take a quick look at how to use it! In Korea, 'Socar' and 'Green Car' are typical services, but today I will explain 'Green Car' as an example.  First, sign up for membership in the Green car homepage or application. At this time, you must

KTX : How to book a KTX ticket online

Image
 There are trains that are useful when traveling around Korea. It is 'Korea Train eXpress : KTX'. KTX is the name of high speed railway operated by KORAIL from April 1, 2004 and it is the highest class train operated by KORAIL. It has already been 10 years.  Perhaps it is fortunate that the high-speed railway is running in Korea, which is not very wide. Thanks to the high-speed rail, I can go to KTX in 2 hours and 30 minutes by bus, which takes 5 hours. The price is a bit expensive, but there is such convenience. (▲The thick line is the KTX route)  In fact, the speed of KTX is very fast. The maximum speed is 305 km / h, but most of the cases are traveling at 270 ~ 295 km / h on the high speed line. When the overall KTX operation is good, it runs at 300 ~ 305km / h. When driving more than 250km / h, the temporary speed of the moment is displayed at the upper left corner of the room monitor. It is fun and interesting if you watch. If you come to Korea,
