| I am not critical of the WM that conferred my degree. I am pointing out that if a candidate is not prepared enough for his next step then the responsibility falls on his instructor. I could not imagine the WM or anyone else conferring a degree not to need a queue now and then with the shear volume of information that is required to learn. I'm just posing the question of where is the line between being ready or not ready for a candidates next step? I have no doubt this candidate in question learned what was required of him, but was he nervous or not studied enough not to need prompts from his brothers?
After my EA I was asked "You will be ready for your FC next month right?" I pondered the question and thought that would be a tall order even though I'm sure its done all the time. So the candidate may have sacrificed accuracy for completing as soon as possible or any number of reasons. So if I was faced with voting on a candidate that in my opinion did poorly I would have voted yes and expressed my criticism quietly to his instructor for not being ready. But everyone has their own approach. |
