Its that great time of year again..

[49ersfan_87]

Not christmas....but exam time!

I hate exams..i have 3 of them this week. Which is actually a good number. Im not too worried about 2 of my exams (english, and politics) but i have an accounting exam on monday which really worries me. My study method is usually go over each formula/definition twice, and then rest. I do that about 3-4 times a day and that works for me. I can't cram for hours on end because it doesn't stick.

Anyone else have exams this time of year??

Two more to go for me . . . Monday and Thursday . . .

[d34ng3l021]

Yep. I pretty much need to do well in all of them, cause it actually matters whether you have a B-, B, or B+ and stuff. Pretty dumb. I miss HS.

[soybean]

i have 3. it sucks because none of these tests can help me, they can only hurt me.

I got Art history, Physics and Bio. I had a women studies speech =D and it went great!

[jayceheathman]

I have 3 and one of them is optional and if you take it it will only help your grade. One of the other finals will take the place of your lowest exam if your final is higher. The other exam he is allowing us to use two 8 by 11 sheets of paper to write as much notes as we can on it. :)

[bearsfan_51]

I love grading exams. It's probably the hap-hap-happiest time of the year.

Why is that? Is it because of the really stupid answers or do you love sliding the scantron into the scantron grading machine?

Haha...I WISH we had a scantron machine. That said, I'll have to go with the latter. History exams are epically priceless when it comes to stupid BS answers because unlike math, students think that if they put some jibberish down it MIGHT be close enough to the answer that they'll get some credit.


I once had a student tell me that "thank God we won the Revolutionary War because if not who knows what language we would be speaking today".

This is the future of America folks.

i think he meant that if we wouldn't have won... there would have been no one to bail the brits out of WWII... so we'd all be speaking either German or Japanese.

Britain owned Hong Kong til 1997 i forgot how they acquired them. Even if we lost WW2 I don't think we'd be speaking German or Japanese. well at least not Japanese.

yeah i saw that. that was pretty funny.

to actually answer the thread... my school is on quarters, so i have 3 sets of finals during the regular school year. My first set was before thanksgiving, and i had Physics 220 (Thermodynamics), Differential Equations, Statics, and Computer Programming (C++)

Sounds like a kind of answer I would put down. I really suck at exams, and I have put a lot of bull **** answers on them.

[bearsfan_51]

i think it was machavelli who said, it's better to be feared than loved.

It's funny, because I personally think I'm a total jerk but I get rave reviews on my evaluations. It's usually something to the effect of "Mike is so down to Earth, he's the type of teacher you'd want to have a beer with" when in reality I think most of them aren't worth the 20 minutes a day I think about how I'm going to endure their agonizing stupidity and vapid personalities.

It's like the more I mock them and degrade them the more they love me. Kids.... I think they assume because I'm closer to their age that I'm nicer on them, as if that makes any sense at all.

And trust me VYS, the kid was just a dolt. He also said in the same essay that the Santa Maria attacked the port of Boston. I think he was under the impression that the colonies fought Spain in the Revolutionary War, which would explain why most of our Eastern cities are named after places or people in Britain.

This is also a class in which they are allowed to make cheat sheets and bring them into class. And they know the questions ahead of time. Apparently he didn't think it important enough to check who the colonists were fighting against.

[diabsoule]

I'd much rather have an essay exam over scantron. I just don't do well with multiple choice. I'd much rather get a study guide for whats going to be on the test and know exactly what to study instead of someone saying Chapters 4-9 are on the test.

I think most of the kids performances these days are based on the level of instruction they are receiving and not so much on the kids themselves. While I'm not trying to stand up for the idiot kids the level of instruction they are receiving from kindergarten to high school is extremely poor.

[bearsfan_51]

I agree with you. I've always found the entire nature of exams somewhat contrived. It often plays out as a guessing game where the professor hides behind his/her infinite knowledge and the student must then guess at what the correct answer is.

Essays and assignments are a much better opportunity for students to find their own voice and opinions without the pressure of feeling like they must express the same ideas as their professor.

As for hating studying, however, I might suggest finding other ways to do it. Rather than studying right before exams (assuming you do) treat each day as a unspecified assignment in which you re-read over your notes, readings, etc., in preperation for the eventual exam. If you study in this manner you won't feel the pressure that you likely do now because you'll be much more prepared and will have spent your time more judiciously.

alright, the teacher doesnt teach lectures well. she just talks for about 2 hours without ever repeating herself, so if you really dont knwo what an important point is or not. also she is around the 15% on actually answering students questions. everytime she as a question that has to do outside of her notes that she brought she has no idea.

im not going to be home till like 9 on friday.

[VoteLynnSwan]

i love exams, i have never had any problems with them. I have found that as long as the teacher covers the material in class (and i attended class that day) i have little to no need to actually study the material. The biggest issue that most of the people that i know have is that they skip days of class, and then wonder why they don't understand the material. Truth be told, i go to a very small school, and have class sizes which are at maximum about 35...

The biggest reason that i don't mind exams is because i don't have to spend time outside of class completing it, and it also serves to make the class time go by faster.

hi, my 430 on friday says hello

oh, and you wanna talk about stupid...so my one class has a take home final, and naturally the class assumed we would get it the week before finals and have it due the friday before finals or the day/time of our final...but our professor doesn't understand that he doesn't have to follow the final schedule if he doesn't want to, so he says we have to come pick up our final prompt at the time of the final, which is tuesday at 730 am...now, it's a take home final, so I'm not really complaining, but come on, just give it to us earlier or at least email us the prompt

[EvilMonkey]

Three, one at ten on Saturday, one at 7:30 am next Wednesday the 19th, and one Thursday the 20th at 7:30 am. Hate it, can't wait til 9:30 on December 20th.

I'm guessing ur at UWM.. Absolutely hate the test schedule they put out every year. My first test is at 7:30 am on saturday (always get a couple 7:30am ones every year) and it's my hardest exam and hopefully I can wake up and be coherent enough to do decent. Class is a Tues-Thurs exam but because I'm in the business school all the midterms were on Friday at 10am and now a Saturday 7:30 final. Other than that, have one Monday at 10am, Tues at 5:30 pm, and thurs at 12:30 so they're all pretty spread out so hopefully they dont go that bad.

[draftguru151]

Had English last Wednesday, Calc 3 on Thursday and physics yesterday (yea on a Saturday :/). But now I'm done and get to go home. :D

[Hines]

Next week, I have two finals. One in Economics, and the other one in Journalism. I have a final project due in Ceramics(i hate that class so much). But other then that, I only have Economics to worry about because I dont know **** about it.

[NYGibril28]

I have three exams, easy classes this semester.

Early American History up to the Civil War.

Computer Applications In Business (Excel, Access etc.)

Economics

[Billingsley26]

I never had a problem with Economics. It always came natural to me, with the graphs and formulas and everything. I am on the business scene a little bit anyways, so I had a pretty good understanding anyways.

[SuperMcgee]

One day, two exams:

Calc - my high school calc class was harder, this'll be a breeze
Chemistry - Multiple choice, all questions taken from previous tests from which she has posted answer keys online. Yay.

i like the way my school (MSOE) (it's in Milwaukee too) does the finals schedule... With regular scheduled classes, 8a to 5p, you either have finals from 8-10a or from 2-4p depending on when your class starts. It's a good way of doing things i think.

so what if you have class from 10-2? I have 3 classes in that time and 1 or 2 from 2-5, depending on the day...how would they break that up

we have finals 6 times a day...730, 945, 12, 215, 430 and on rare occasions 7...it sucks because there are so many times in one day that you could get screwed, like last semester I had 4 on the monday of finals, but if you have more than 3 you can get one changed...so I had 3 monday and 1 tuesday

[d34ng3l021]

I am so pissed. My math test raped me. I will probably end up with a C+ or B- in that class. And I didnt do well enough on the final, so I will end up with a B+ there.

i guess i shoulda been clearer... i figured someone would have a question

Here's how it is laid out.

.........Monday....Tuesday..Wednesday..Thursday..F riday
8-10a....8am.........9am.........10am.........11am.. ...12pm

2-4p.....1pm.........2pm..........3pm..........4pm.. .....5pm


The Times under the days is the starting time of the class.

some classes have special exam times... a couple of my mechanical engineering classes are common finals, so they're at 11-1. Other times are later like 5:30... but for the most part that's it. Besides the one common final that i've had, all my other exams have been in one of these time slots.

one time I tried pulling an all-nighter but i was so tired I started tripping out, like I thought I had extra legs or some ****. felt like i was on acid.

Oh, we can make the semester a week longer" (we started at the usual date/when all other schools around here did)...so now everyone I know will be done this week, and then leave a week before I do and it makes our spring break one week later than everyone else's also, awesome.

time to study!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill be back in a couple hours, ill keep ya updated!

[yodapoop]

Classes were cancelled for me today. Must say, I have seen a lot worse and still have school. However I live on campus, so I don't know what the roads are like. And the super intendents at my earlier education (elementry, middle, and high school) were complete douche bags.

[yodapoop]

Milwaukee is good. We started the day after Labor Day, we go til the 20th at the latest, some are done earlier, and then we don't go back til the 22nd. So at least a month off. And we are done the 15th of May. We have our spring break during the NCAA tournament, so thats sweet, don't have to skip class.

[NYGibril28]

I started the 23rd of August, at community college, my last class is December 18th. I'm transferring up north, and classes start January 24th.

[KILLERSANTA]

hahaha please tell me that's a joke...

I wish I had 4 page papers for regular assignments, let alone a final...

To be fair, it was for Econ not English. Also the assignment was 4-6......

haha please do. this has got to be good.

Will do, I think I get it back today......

[Sniper]

Wow that Spanish final just raped the **** out of me....

boooooooooooooooo i have finals till friday, i have one an in hour and a half. midevial europe is ***. and thats not trying to avoid censors i was spelling out each letter for effect.

i need to know this question going into it. have no idea.


We often hear people speak of "the Church" in the Middle Ages as if the Church was a monolithic entity, directing all actions in Christendom. Yet over the course of the semester we’ve talked about how Christianity was more complex than this, that it included a variety of individuals such as monks and nuns, bishops and the Pope, as well as the laity, and that it changed over time. Discuss the ideal of “the Church” and the ideal of a pope who leads Christendom (i.e. papal monarchy) put forth by numerous individuals. Also discuss when this ideal was closest to being realized (specific time period and events) and how it fell out of favor with the crises in the church, and society, in the Late Middle Ages.plus im running on basically nothing, pulled an all nighter for my test at 8am, ill just sleep in tomorrow, oh waitttttttttttt i have another one on the other side of campus at 8am. wooooooooooo

you're like an hour from me, come down, take my tests for me, its a win win for you.

[Brent]

I am done with all my classes, except one: Spanish 201... that final is in about 3 hours. I have been studying for a while but I am still lacking confidence. With any luck I will do well and that will put me so close to graduating. Damn, I hate having to wait for things like this.

I find it ridiculous that Liberal Arts majors have to take more foreign language classes than Business/Agriculture/Engineering school students at this school.

[yodapoop]

bunch of damn pussies up there at UWM... I still have class.

Ha, ha......its a wonderful thing. Its snowing, and its Wisconsin. Woo-hoo, UWM>All. But I have school til next Thursday.

To be honest I could probably make an attempt to get you answer for this, but we'll see.

I have Stats tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM! HORRIBLE! Im thinking of pulling my own all nighter and getting the most out of it. Guess some Tim's will do the trick (I expect only 619 to know what I mean when I say Tim's).

but I don't have my exams until the end of January, being a junior in HS. Someone was saying how they only have two weeks off for Christmas break, well so do I. I have an ok semester except for Math, its ******* **** thats what it is!

obviously the ideal of the church would have to do with it being a single entity that governs the actions of all of society, there would be only one supreme leader, and everyone would follow the same set of guidelines. It also may have to do with the ideal that everyone should believe the same things (i.e. only one "true" religion that everyone on earth follows)

I obviously can't tell you when the ideal was closest to being realized since i didn't take the class... but if you went to class (which you probably didn't very often since you don't know the answer to this) then you would be able to fill in the rest.

well when i was in high school, we had finals in the middle of January, after winter break which was only two weeks. But in America, most colleges (probably all public ones) give about a month for winter break. I however only get two weeks opposed to the four that all of my friends get.

We only had like a week in high school and stuff, but once again, our super intendents were douchebags. And then we'd still go til like June 6th or something like that. Spring Break, a lot of teachers hated spring break for some reason too, they wanted to leave it off of the schedule and start summer a week and a half earlier.

[49ersfan_87]

You know what i hate? Loud, annoying people.

I was writing my exam today...and i couldn't think clearly at all. Why? Because some guy sitting behind me had to clear his throat EVERY 2 MINUTES. And there was this other guy who kept using whiteout to correct his mistakes. Thats fine and all, but he had some weird sort of whiteout that was very creaky and made a loud noise, sort of like when you pull out the measuring tape from the tube. And he did this every 2 minutes too. Not to mention, his phone rang later on in the exam. Very very annoying.

[Billingsley26]

quick google search leads me to suspect this is a coffee place, i could go for some wake me up joe. i need sleep and i need to study, im not seeing where i can squeexe in both.

on a side note i just bought 30 pies from bk with my extra meal plan, i still have 65 meals to use by the end of the semester. thats like 7 bucks a meal too.

yup! It pissed the **** outta me! He was simulating snorting a line of coke every 5 seconds, followed by a rediculous deep breath. HOLY! How many times to do you need to do that? Not to mention he sat at a desk that was very squeeky and he kept shaking it holy! Not to mention he sat behind me. ugh.

[49ersfan_87]

Yes...im done! Did my last exam at 4 pm, and at 6 pm i was done. Ive been waiting for this moment for a month and its great. I can relax finally for 3 and a half weeks.

I'll get my grades in about 2 weeks, looking forward to seeing what ive gotten.

[d34ng3l021]

So my mentality is done. I am just too tired and I just want to go home.

Needless to say, I am not gonna do well on my next final.

[yodapoop]

To tell ya the truth I don't wanna know how I did until after Christmas.

[kwilk103]

last ones at 11

had a list of 60 terms for my amer hist. class---up to civil war
list was from midterm on

from that list, prof chooses 15, and we have to pick 5 to define
and 2-3 essays to choose from----on either slavery or civil war

i know about 45 of the terms---all the major ones; ill take my chances on the smaller ones

essays---im good at them, most are opinion, and i can bs my way to a 40-45 out of 50

[soybean]

I was so close to getting a 3.8 this semester. but because of my dumb finals I'll probably be getting a 3.0. i really needed that 3.8 to get into the program im trying to get into and i have a pretty low overall gpa.

funny how a couple of tests can change your WHOLE life.

[yodapoop]

I think I may drop out.

[Billingsley26]

I think I may drop out.

im getting ready to second that.

I have a final tomorrow at 10 a.m., haven't looked at my stuff all day. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, still don't want to.

Had my first final today, and I gotta say, it suprisingly didn't suck and I got an A- on my term paper in that class. WOO-HOO!

[Staubach12]

I have exams next week. I'm really not looking forward to Physics.

[JPLUFF]

Industrial Organization in the next hour, I'm about to tear it up.

I don't have exams anymore persay but everyday is a test when you have a pregnant wife. Contrary to what you may think marriage is like math. There is always a right and VERY wrong answer to every question.

Example

Question: What do you want for Christmas?

Right answer: I don't care as long as I spend it with you.

Wrong answer: Butt sex.

[Vikes99ej]

I'm done with finals, but a bunch of my friends are still taking theirs.

[iowatreat54]

I love after studying for 3 straight days for one final and you think you are pretty prepared for it, then you take the final and like half the questions are nothing like the review material that was provided...but that's what you get with a dbag professor

[JPLUFF]

last one's at 4:00. 50% of the grade and is cumulative.

[Paul]

I love after studying for 3 straight days for one final and you think you are pretty prepared for it, then you take the final and like half the questions are nothing like the review material that was provided...but that's what you get with a dbag professor

That sucks. Luckily I haven't had any professors whose done that. There is a difference between a tough professor who wants his students to really study and apply themselves, and those, as you put it, who are D'bags.

[yodapoop]

Just took another one of mine. No problem with it, didn't expect any.

[litlharsh]

So I calculated this ****. To get an A in physics, I'm going to have to get a 48.8/50 on the final, so essentially a 49/50

****.

[Twiddler]

Just got my ass handed to me by a political science exam. But what do I expect, I'm a chem major and have always sucked at that kind of stuff. But its all good because I nailed my chem exam a few days ago, and thats all that matters.

[yodapoop]

I'm gonna get raped up the butt tomorrow by a final tomorrow. Its not cumlitive, but damn, that snow day we had sucked because that was the last day of class for that class.

finally done with finals, time to drink for 2 days straight before going home for this weekend for break...

[rainbeaukid2]

wow, i am so ******* pissed. my backpack got stolen on wednesday of last week and of course i am in 4 AP classes so i have no notes or anything to study of for any of my finals. then, in my one regular class, english, i lose all of my *** journals that i had to do for huck finn and we had to turn them in on friday. so, on thursday, i tell my english teacher that i lost all of my stuff, and he refuses to give me another paper with the journal prompts on there, so i am stuck in there the next day trying to do 10 journals, all a page long, in one 60 minute class period. i get 6 done, and so i fail the assignment. then today, i took the final, got a 123 out of 130, and i get an 88.9% in the class whereas if i had all my journals i would have had an A. this, combined with another bad final, brings me down from a 4.3 to a 4.0, now i am gonna have to retake *** ass english 11A over summer so that i can get an A in it, i ******* hate this doucebag english teacher

ok, sorry rant over

so i had like a 77 in my bio class and an A in my physics class going into the final.

i check my grades today, i got a B in physics and an A in bio. huh?

ps. there's no way i got an A on my bio final.

[d34ng3l021]

My calc final dropped my grade from a solid B (86 or 85 percent) to a C.

****.

[7-11]

so i bet my girlfriend she wasn't going to beat me in her end of school exams. Turns out she's some sort of phantom genius and got 99.2, to my now paltry in comparison, 87 from last year.

In other words, we're to be married tomorrow and i'm quitting my job once she finishes university and living off her the rest of my life.

****.

w000 so I got a 45/50, but my teacher, being the beast that he is, and being the joke that High School is, gave me a little "loan". He loaned me 1% to bring my grade to a 90, but next quarter he'll subtract 2% from my grade, so 92% for an A, etc.

Being a senior, this is awesome, because it is well known that 2nd semester doesn't matter. Hell yes.

i finished up classes wednesday, i have no interest in finding out my grades cuz the credits dont transfer to the new community college im going to next semester because I was only a part-time student

[49ersfan_87]

I got my final marks

Politics & Culture- B (70-75%)

Communicative Writing- C+ (65-70%)

Marketing- A (80-89%)

Accounting- D (55-60%)

Definitely an off semester for me. I didnt put too much work into my studies this semester and my GPA dropped from a 3.4 to a 3.2 out of 4. Still though its a above-average GPA and i look forward to raising it..same thing happened last year. 1st semester i had a 3.2, i raised it to a 3.4 next semester despite a tougher schedule and more classes, which is the same situation i find myself in 2008. Just glad to be done and relieved my GPA didnt fall too far down. Now i really have to work hard in 08..

What is failing for you? Us normal people have different grade standards ;)

Failure is 0-54%. The marking standard of my school is a bit odd

55-60 % (D) 1.0 GPA
60-65 % (C) 2.0 GPA
65-70 % (C+) 2.5 GPA
70-75% (B) 3.0 GPA
75-80% (B+) 3.5 GPA
80-89% (A) 4.0 GPA
90-100% (A+) 4.0 GPA

I take exams the week after I get back from my two-week-vacation. Last year was pretty bad... I'm not sure whether I prefer taking my mid-terms before or after my exam. I guess both of them have their ups and downs.

I hope you guys did good on them though.

Canada's marking system is similar, yet still different.

50-59% D
60-69% C
70-79% B
80-100% A

Do you go to highschool? I go to college in Canada. I can't remember the marking scheme in high school.

Seneca, but im hoping to transfer to York or University of Toronto eventually.

[rainbeaukid2]

ya, my grades were kinda off for me this semester as well, well they were off for me, not off for everyone else

Honors Pre-Calc B (counts as A because of honors class)
AP US history B ("")
English 11A B (see rant above)
Auto A (brings my gpa down cuz it is not an honors A)
AP Computer Science B (bombed the final and it dropped me like 7%)
AP Physics A

overall i only got a 4.0 GPA whereas i should have had a 4.3. at least when i pass the AP tests in may all of my AP grades for both semesters will be raised to A's which will raise my GPA this semester to 4.3 and i plan on retaking english over summer so that i can get an A in the class

True enough. I would take Toronto over York. York does absolutely nothing for me, I went there on a recruiting visit, and the only thing I liked was their campus. It was pretty neat, but other than that, the school as a whole does nothing for me. At least UofT is right downtown and you have a lot around, and any time Ive been down there, it was always a good time.

[49ersfan_87]

I just had my final exams...

But i finished them, all 6 of them in the past week, its finally over :)

Anyone else doing exams right now or finished?
