Hey Blah that's my laptop!
 Oh dear, well it looks like I'm fortunate to have my lethal exams out of they way. Although from what you described, Trigunnerz, I am starting to dread entering 2nd year commerce next year  (assuming I passed my hardest exams).My first was Macroeconomics, one of my achilles heels. It didn't help that our professor has overheads that are akin to children's scribbles, since he doesn't like to draw new graphs, he'll scribble all over the old ones. Rather, it was more textbook learning, and out of that, more like studying the duration of the week before the exam. My second and the one that wasted many hours of my life was Calculus II. I'm one of those crazies that takes calculus for fun and then cries in the end when he realizes that only the geniuses and hard-workers should ever even look at this course. I spent every waking hour on MSN for a whole week doing the practice problems with a friend. May that never happen again! I understood the stuff a lot better after that and I think I would have failed if I hadn't done that. However, everyone in the class still got raped on the Remainder Theorem and series parts, just as on the second midterm. My third was Linear Algebra. Fortunately this was not as bad as I thought. we had a generous professor who made the exam rather short and the material a hell of a lot more straightforward than Macro or Calc was. I actually have a potential shot at a perfect here rather than being capped at, say a 70%, assuming I didn't make any stupid mistakes like 6+1=6 in my matrices. My two easiest exams are tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Linguistics and Commerce, respectively. Although the stupid part is that I haven't studied for either of them yet, and I still have to read 200+ pgs. by Wednesday for Commerce (stupid me!) because I didn't bother to do much work after that dreaded calc exam. Hopefully, the linguistics exam will be just as bird as the midterm: Sample question: What Lexical Category is the word "shoe?" Hopefully your answer is: "noun" Q2: "Use it in a sentence" Possible Answer: "I tied my shoe." 2 marks! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
