I am going into final sem of my third year in a local private university in Klang Valley.. Despite getting maintaining a >3.6 CGPA, I perceive myself as seeming to fall behind in terms of my conceptual and analytical thinking, as well as understanding of the architecture profession as a whole. I have no pride of (and sometimes despise) my work, feeling that some of my colleagues who have put in more effort deserves the grade I am getting.

I also feel that grades are a poor representation of a person's performance in the architecture course, and more often than not is heavily related to favoritism practiced by professors/lecturers.

Am I the only one feeling this way? How do you get over this phase?
