capturing the cap score

I forgot to mention something kind of important. Last Friday I received my final examination result as an engineering undergraduate. Final as in, you know, last one.

Was talking to a friend about the CAP (Cumulative Average Point) score and how much it can drop in upper years. It is important as it affects your class of degree, and going by calculation it gets harder and harder to change the situation around as you go into upper years. That's the problem when people play too much (or the brain refuses to work) in lower university years.

Let's see some trend and analyse. The above graph shows the CAP score of yours truly over the past 8 semesters. The Y axis is arbitrary, so you can guess on. The dip was thanks to modules which I really didn't like, things like thermo or fluid or control. But it sure seems like you can (or, I did) pull up your score quite significantly even in your upper years, even with Final Year Project and other job hunting nonsenses bugging you. If your FYP rocks, it really can pull you up since it has a bigger weightage than normal modules.

I'm sure we all can climb up from the valley, be it academic result or the economy.
