Well, they're not quite done yet.. Gotta Love final exams..
and sitting in the library at 2am trying to cram in a semester of knowledge..
Maybe I should have started studying earlier.
How is everyone elses exams going?
(and what the hell is hypergeometric distribution!!)

I was done eight days ago. But then again I had four in five days which really sucked. And I definitely failed the last one because I couldn't give it the studying time it required.

I did okay on the first, bad on the second, good on the third and shanked the fourth. The multivariable exam was by far the hardest test I've ever layed my eyes upon. I think it was the first time in my life I've really felt "dumb".

I finished my exams on Wednesday, but then I had two essays to write, which I finished yesterday. My first exam went fairly well. When I was studying, I seemed to focus on the right material. My second exam... ugh. Didn't go well at all. I hope that the TA marking it lets the spirit of the holidays overwhelm them causing them to be generous with the part marks cause that is the only way I am passing that one. I am pretty disappointed about that because I really enjoyed the course, I just didn't have the time to study for it.

Going to my last one in 45 min, perhaps could have studied a bit more. Can't wait to go home though and hardly care about this one which is kinda sad. Im gonna pass everything...but with not as high marks as Id originally envisioned.

I've got my last exam in an hour!

I just love exams

But at least the schedule maker was kind enough to only put that one Bruins game over my exams, otherwise it would have gotten real ugly.

On the other hand, April Exams could be a little bit more complicated....

The hyper geometric distribution sure is a pain in the ass, questions take far too long to complete.
Finals are finals, since this is my last year I don't think I'll complain too much, as both my finals went relatively well.
I just can't wait for Tuesday so I can be done.

Thunderball · 12-19-2005, 10:23 AM

I finished on Thursday... had one on Monday, one on Wednesday and two Thursday... including one that I also think I shanked... Aside from that, I think I did okay, and I'm just not gonna think about it till after Christmas.

CaramonLS · 12-19-2005, 11:14 AM

I have my last one at 3:30 today.

peter12 · 12-19-2005, 12:06 PM

I had 2 final papers in lieu of exams due last week and I wrote an easy Spanish final last week. Tomorrow is my last final in International Relations, overall not a hard way to end the semester. Ah well I am definitely paying for it next year.

Crowe_41 · 12-19-2005, 12:15 PM

I have two exams left...one today at 3:30 so I should probably not be on here haha. You know what I've noticed...I've been to University for 3 years. First year grades where alright, last year grades where amazing, this year they are so so again. I was thinking back to see what could have been the possible reason for this...then it hit me. Stupid NHL ruining all my grades haha!.

I always found that the best study method was to not study at all and then play xbox and drink beer until 3 in the morning the night before. You may laugh, but I did better on those exams then the ones I cramed for.

FireFly · 12-19-2005, 02:16 PM

My last one is on Wednesday. Only the two this year. Thank God. Why is it that the hard one is always first though?

Winsor_Pilates · 12-19-2005, 02:18 PM

Last 1 tomorrow. First 2 went pretty well but i think the hardest is yet to come.

the-rasta-masta · 12-19-2005, 02:57 PM

I have Stats on Wednesday as my last exam. Has anybody at U of C ever had Stellmach for Stats? Brutal. I was a Math genius in high school (90 in Math 30) and now I have no clue what I'm doing in 213.

flamingchina · 12-19-2005, 06:35 PM

Just finished my first one today... 80Q multiple choice, finished in around 25 minutes.. god bless 1st year bird courses...
Got tomorrow to study some more, then 2 more exams on Wednesday, then I'm done.

calf · 12-19-2005, 07:29 PM

Stellmech for stats...ugh...easy quizzes to build your confidence, then BAM! right up the arse on the midterms and finals.

Had my first 2 finals today...an Econ (easy!!), and Acct (very hard). Finish up my degree on Wednesday night!

Hack&Lube · 12-19-2005, 08:16 PM

Man, I have one at 8AM tomorrow. I hate those. I have wayy too many chapters to memorize and a damn BOA going on! I also need to get in at least an hour or two of sleep somewhere since I didn't have much last night.

I hate exams. I hate life. Aaarrrgh.

calgARI · 12-20-2005, 12:48 AM

Finished my last one and now have completed 5 of 8 semesters and then i'll have the same exact undergraduate degree that both Gary Bettman and Ken Dryden have (BS - Industrial and Labor Relations). Woopity-do!
