They way they grade is based on strict requirement since it's advanced level. I never thought I got F grade for my midterm. At that point, I know I have to get my act together. So I ask several of my native friends to read over my paper for corrections. And I get a good result at the end of the semester. I learned that I should always strike to do my best.

I was panic because I knew my supervisor will get mad at me. But after telling my supervisor, he did not get mad at me for damaging the switch because he got everything backup. I learned that when you do something wrong. Yo have to admit it and be sincere. It's easy to forgive when people make mistake because we can learn from our mistake. But if you lie about making a mistake and making excuses, people will not forgive. I learned that from my supervisor.
