Felt dirty after an exam? Like physically dirty, that needs a shower, or three in my case? I don't understand it. But that's how i feel after my tax midterm.
It was okay, challenging, topics that were discussed were definitely tested on. We had to do more calculations than expected... which is really weird, as in this day and age, who da hell does tax calculations all by hand? Accounts, just plug in the numbers into tax programs, I used quick tax cuz really, i don't feel like killing that many trees. But seriously, i'm not a number crunching monkey, that's what my calculator is for. Tax courses should test more on theory and understanding, not for me to plug silly numbers into the calculator, and hope that with successful depressions of the right sequence of keys, an answer (correct, preferably) would be outputted on the display screen.
He obviously took the questions, many of which were poorly phrased by the publishers (who speak american vs English), and pasted them quickly in to a word processor and ran off copies. It was such a rush job that he didn't even leave space for the exam answers, we had to use blank paper, unlined, photocopy paper, to answer the questions. But even that doesn't answer why i feel dirty.
Any ideas? comments? --> and i'm not the only one, other students in the class share my sentiments towards this test. Now i didn't ask how many showers they took, cuz that'd just be weird.

yeah, I had that before... but not because of the subject matter, but more on hating the actual structure of the test. It's like a mental gauntlet of dirtyness that grabs at you as you try to progress through it, and by the end, you're just feeling like the filth of the questions just stick on to you.
It's pretty much the same as the figurative dirtyness of the questions, how it's structured is so messy and you just feel bad because it's done poorly. Pretty much similar to what you phrased it as.
