Re: Open-Ended Questions - by Darby

How about trying to get an Official Cisco verdict on this rather than
individually chasing the guys who took the lab...specially when everyone
have diffrent opinions).... what i feel is if cisco doesi nform
students about oeq points during/b4 that section, than they will have no
objection in making it public....i mean whats the point in hiding section
scores( oeq n lab part)....its not lyk a student preparing for the exam can
cheat or something lyk dat...BUT he can prepare in a better way with a
better understanding....rather than a student entering the centre with a
fear in his mind....
