On Reddit: "Looks like all questions are marked by computer except the last question which will be marked by maybe the lecturer? I went through all lecture and workshop materials but still messed up the hydrology part. Never thought I would be asked “what does ‘RIO’ stand for?” in an exam."
On Reddit: "Ah the struggle is real mate. I don’t even know if I’ll pass the course let alone the exam. And it was ‘ROI’ 🥲."
