Chapter 160: Make PPT
The first exam was at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. It was a written test covering the latest traffic regulations and civilized driving rules. None of the thirty candidates were absent.
Half an hour later, the test was over and the candidates went to the next test site to test their driving skills. The test center staff collected the test papers and sent them to another room.
Ten minutes later, the two examiners were ready. Each of them was given 15 test papers, which contained 70 multiple-choice questions and 30 fill-in-the-blank questions, all worth one point.
After counting the test papers, two staff members will start marking them manually. They will score the test papers within half an hour and send the list of qualified candidates to the person in charge. This list will be sent to each candidate after the second exam. Only those who pass both exams can take the third exam.
"It can be seen that the residents of Xumi City are very hardworking." Harold looked through a stack of graded test papers in front of the person in charge, feeling a little surprised.
When he learned that there were thirty fill-in-the-blank questions in Subject 1, he thought that most people's scores would be terrible this time. After all, traffic laws are really difficult to remember, and there was only a day and a half between the release of the new traffic law and the start of the exam. It was still very difficult to memorize a booklet in such a short time.
But most people's results were pretty good. There were even two people who got full marks. The worst one got 74 points, and this was even though the fill-in-the-blank questions were marked quite strictly.
"I heard that some people guessed that there would be a traffic law test, so they prepared in advance," the person in charge of the examination center explained. "We originally intended to lower the pass rate and made the questions difficult, but the pass rate for the first test was still over 80%."
It seems that everyone really wants to ride a bike, Harold thought.
The pass rate of the second test was still very high. The tricycle was not difficult to operate, and the test allowed 30 minutes of test driving time. Except for one person who was too nervous and failed to control the direction after hearing the whistle and hit the obstacle, everyone else passed successfully.
But the one that hit the obstacle knocked the metal pole in front of the car that was used to support the awning crooked. Kavi, who was sitting in the back of the car, saw the terrible situation in front of the car and immediately let out a sharp explosion. He couldn't believe that the brand new test car became like this on the first day of use.
After the second exam, all participants received their first exam results. After receiving their results, residents of all ages talked loudly with people around them and shared their scores.
The one who shouted the loudest was a 89-year-old young man who scored points. Although he failed like those who scored more than points, he felt good about himself and was even more excited than those who passed the exam. He took his transcript and showed it to everyone, wishing that everyone would know that he was only one point away from passing.
The third test was still a written test, which tested safe driving knowledge and emergency response strategies. After all the tests were completed, 21 people successfully obtained their driver's licenses. Although the parking spots in Xumi City had not yet been officially completed, their names and photos had been entered into the reminder, and their permissions had been opened.
The twenty-one people all had happy faces, and the more outgoing ones had already jumped up at the entrance of the examination room. According to the announcement, they will be the first batch of people to ride on the road, and the subsequent improvements of this project will also refer to their opinions.
...
This Saturday, the Fatwa Institute printed several more notices and posted them everywhere, and asked lecturers and tutors in each college to inform scholars that starting from next month, after completing their research projects, they need to record a video and an audio recording to give a detailed introduction to their research results.
The Ministry of Education has purchased a venue to serve as a video playback room. You need to play your own videos in the playback room, collect residents' comments and suggestions, and submit these things together with the project results and project reports. This part of the content will also become an important basis for the Ministry of Education to assess the level of the project.
This announcement once again caused an uproar, and this time the regulations can be said to have affected all scholars.
Some scholars kept complaining and even secretly cursed the rule makers. They believed that this regulation added extra workload to them, especially the scholars who studied elementology, astrology, and linguistics. In their opinion, the content of their subjects was too profound and ordinary residents of Xumi City could not understand it at all, even with video explanations.
Now these residents' evaluations and opinions will actually affect their project assessments, which makes them very angry.
Some scholars were very happy that the Fatwa provided them with venues and equipment and encouraged them to connect with the public. They had previously suffered from the lack of attention to their research results and were unable to promote them effectively.
Now, they feel that they will get more opportunities because of this regulation. More recognition means they have the opportunity to attract more sponsorship.
Most of these scholars are from the School of Life Theory and the School of Wonderful Theory. Their research topics are mostly higher-yielding crops, animals with shorter growth cycles, architectural design, etc.
As a result, a war broke out among scholars in the Magisterium. The cause was that a Miaolun school scholar cheered loudly at the public column, which aroused the dissatisfaction of several Sulun school and Zhilun school scholars nearby. The two sides first had a fierce dispute, which then turned into a fight.
Finally, all the scholars from the six colleges came out. The main forces on both sides were the Miaolun School, Shenglun School, Minglun School, and Sulun School.
The Zhilun School and Yinlun School remained neutral but leaned more towards the Minglun School and Sulun School. Scholars from these two schools usually loved to show off their verbal skills, and when the two sides were fighting, they would even mock them with words. So when the Health Home came to arrest people, they found that scholars from these two schools also had bruises on their bodies.
In the end, one person from the Miaolun School was slightly injured, three people from the Shenglun School were slightly injured, nine people from the Minglun School were slightly injured and two were seriously injured, 1 people from the Sulun School were slightly injured and three were seriously injured, and two people from the Zhilun School and Yinlun School were slightly injured.
According to doctors at the Health Home, the number of participants on both sides was not much different, and the difference in the number of injured was mainly due to the fact that the bulletin board that initially caused the dispute was located close to the Sahavara College. Therefore, scholars from the Myathematik school and their allies, the Shenglun school, took weapons such as triangles and compasses before joining the battle, while scholars from other colleges mostly engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
"Look, this is the consequence of a one-size-fits-all approach." Harold told everyone about the "accident" after the society activity ended on Sunday night.
Although this project was submitted by him and Kawi, he never said that the video would be used as the basis for assessing the project level. For the Sulun School, Minglun School, Yinlun School and other schools, the benefits of promoting the project among residents were originally very insignificant.
Fortunately, this collective fight did bring about good effects. After the news that scholars from various colleges were beaten and sent to the Health Home spread, many scholars protested, so the House of Religious Orders urgently amended the rule.
