Finals are suck!

[Orsorum]

'K, just needed to rant... finals really, really bite. I'm studying for a CAD final tomorrow, then a macroeconomics final on Tuesday, then a comp prog final on Wednesday... ugh!

I'm done.

 

[b0mbrman]

Heh...good luck man

True.

I actually happen to be fairly anal about my grammar and my punctuation. Go figure.

Yes they do, but when they are over it is party time!

You had one of the small sections, didn't you? I had the huge lecture class one... I tried to get into one of the 9:30 classes, but it wouldn't fit into my schedule. I'm in section AG.

CAD is M E 123 - CAD and Visualization. I'm not too terribly worried, I'm taking it CR/No CR, so no worries about GPA.

What classes are you taking?

Soooooo true. Spring Break rocks!

I'll assume your school works on the quarter system? We're having midterms, not finals.

yea, i love small classes... i took 200 from a grad student as well.

What classes are you taking?

just econ 201 and stat 311. next quarter though... phys 123, math 308, and cse 373. yikes.

Yeah, most of the Wash. state schools are on the quarter system still. I think we're all set to switch over in about four or five years, but in the meantime, it's nice to only have four classes at a time.

I took 200 from a grad student - Hoon Han, if you've ever heard of him. Not a bad schedule for this quarter, if I do say so myself.

That sucks about next quarter, btw. I'm doing Math 308 and Cse 373 eventually, next autumn and winter, hopefully.

Did you just finish 143 this quarter?

 

[gopunk]

Did you just finish 143 this quarter?

nah, i finished it last quarter... just slid in for the last C++

Hehe, niiiice. I'm one of those lucky saps who gets to learn in Java.

This is something I have never understood. If you do all of your classwork, do an appropriate amout of studying to understand the material, take the quizzes and tests and use those to bone up on your weak points, then there should be no need to cram for a final exam. You are supposed to already have learned the curricula. You should be able to walk into the final and pass it without doing any extra studying at all.

Just my $.02. That's how I got through college and still had plenty of time to have fun.

That's actually pretty much what happens for me - i.e. I know the material, I just need refreshers to keep the material in my head.
