Hi Alex,
ok, I know, I'm a girl and people tend to be more friendly with
girls...I've heard this over and over all my life and I know there is some
truth in it.
Even so, I could see how the attitude of the proctor changed
toward me question after question.
He was very cryptic at first and became
more and more open toward the end of the lab...for every single question I had
to describe all possible aspects of the topic and if I was getting a reply
that still was not clear I was openly justifying why what he had told me
wasn't of any help.
After a while I guess he understood I wasn't trying to
sneak a solution out of him, but only making sure my understanding was correct
and I was doing the right thing.
I cannot really say anything bad of
them....they were just doing their job.
Sabrina

Proctor help?
Hey Guys,
I've read many, many times on this list people
mentioning that the
"proctor is your friend" and if you need clarification the
"proctor is
there to help". Well, I recently sat (and failed) the lab exam; I
evidently wasn't as ready for the lab as I thought I was - that's cool,
I know
the areas I need to improve. However I do have a question along
the lines of
proctor assistance - or lack thereof.
Literally every time I asked a question
in my lab, I was told "Read the
question" (a rather redundant activity I
thought, given that I was
referencing the question in my line of enquiry!).
Now, I don't expect
the proctor to give the answer away, not at all, but I am
confused by
comments about how helpful the proctor was. I actually reached a
point
with my proctor where I gave up asking questions because I already knew
the answer: "read the question".
I can't give concrete examples due to the
NDA, however I know for a fact
that there were at least 3 or 4 questions that
could be answered using
more than 1 methodology. However the proctor told me,
in no uncertain
terms, that he would not assist in my choice. Has anyone had
similar
experiences with proctors? In these situations, are we marked down
for
choosing a methodology other than the one Cisco expected us to use?
Alex
