A in that class -Jig and Fixture Design: This one took a beating from me too... A in that class -Mechanics of Mechanism I: wow... gotr my ass handed to me by this one... judging by the way people were talking coming out of this one, she may have to grade it on a curve since the class did that bad. I'm hoping for a C in this class its that bad. And my last and waiting exams... tommorow afternoon...

Members Yools Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 After 14 years of college/grad school, and 5 years of teaching, I still can't decide which is worse - taking final exams, or grading them. At any rate, I just turned in my last grades for the semester, so I'm done with that ('till the Spring semester rears its ugly head...) -Professor Yools

I taught for a while following residency and I would write a question that I thought would be pretty straight forward and everyone would miss it. Questions that I thought may be tough they would blow right through.
Members Thunderbroom Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 I'm adminstering an exam right now. I've got two more to give tomorrow (morning & night), and then I'm done. I'll hang around here late tomorrow night so that I can turn in grades before I leave for the holidays. I'm planning to start school (Ed.D.) in the Spring, so I'll be able to give insight from both sides next May. -Professor Thunderbroom
Members bassplayinguy Posted December 15, 2005 Author Members Posted December 15, 2005 i need a professor who plays bass that way i can have some common ground so he takes it easy on me

Members HelterSkelter Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 One more exam tommorow then Im out of here. Im not even going to bother studying..............to much packing with all my bass stuff in my dorm.
Members y-o-y Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 Mechanics of Mechanism this class sounds redundant...

Members miles to go Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 I'm actually taking one right now. I finished my test already and just waiting for her to run the scantrons through the machine. I think I did pretty well, though.
Members bikehorn Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 i just wrote my second sociology midterm(first was in october) and the first exam this "season". worst exam ever. it had "pompous professor" written all over it. she gives lectures like she's talking to kindergarten kids and talks with her hands very excessively. i wish i could actually learn something from the lectures, but i can't so i skip the class and do the readings.
Members justing Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 Originally posted by bassplayinguy ...Hows everyone else making out? Not good bass player.I'm in the library at the U...and clearly not studying.
Members bassthumpintwin Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 JUST finished up my last final..... Got an A in my Visual Basic programming class.... EZ online course Got a C in my Database class, but I think she added my scores wrong (ie, forgot to put the final exam score on there) so I should have an A if and when she fixes it (i already emailed her) If I got a B or better on the final I should have an A in physics and if the same holds true for my HTML class I should have a B.... I had an 80% going into the final the class is easy, but the professor was nuts and his exams SUCK.
Members syciprider Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 My finals is not until Friday. But I do have a paper that is due tomorrow. I'm in line for at least an A- final grade unless I seriously screw this up. I hate being back in school.
Members Tlaloc Posted December 15, 2005 Members Posted December 15, 2005 Physics final: It was supposed to be on JUST Temperature and Heat. and the first problem I see was a harmonic motion problem, which I forgot how to do. Oh yeah that problem was worth 40 out of 120 points. There goes my A in physics. Calculus: Not too bad. it felt like I took it about 2 weeks ago, but it was only 8 am this morning. I am never taking an 8 am class EVER. I had no other final except for those. And I have a German final tomorrow. So I'm sitting around on my ass until then...
Members More Cowbell Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 I have the best course load.........they are as follows Monday -8 AM - Farm Accounting10 AM - Livestock Nutrition2 PM - Farm Management4 PM - Welding Tuesday8 AM - Livestock Physiology10 AM - Basic Soils College is tooooooooo freaking easy. I can't wait to hit up university.
Members bholder Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 Me, I think I failed my "making out" exam.

Members zachoff Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 I haven't made out for a while now.
Members sunburstbasser Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 I feel confident on my exams, except juries. See, I was playing my piece and practically fell asleep, and got lost. Yeah. Trainwreck. The other three have been OK.

I taught for a while following residency and I would write a question that I thought would be pretty straight forward and everyone would miss it. Questions that I thought may be tough they would blow right through. I agree. Coming up with essay questions that aren't too broad/tough or too easy can be difficult. And the time factor of writing a multiple choice exam that's long enough, doesn't repeat itself, and becomes enough of a challenge, is pretty hefty. Got lucky with a near perfect bell curve of grades on my first try with a midterm a couple years. But it takes me hours to write the damn thing, and then the final took the students 45 - 90 minutes to finish. *sigh*
Members Meotch Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 I have three left between tomorrow and wednesday; they shouldn't be too bad, I'm going in with As. Oh, and university life is the best.
Members Oddsock Posted December 16, 2005 Members Posted December 16, 2005 I did ok, not as well as I had hoped. My Physics midterm was a lot more comprehensive than I had expected. Why don't they let us have a cheat sheet on physics tests? The only hard part is remembering the damn equations... Did quite well in Japanese I think. A or B there, since I missed some homework. Should have a B in Operating Systems, probably another in Probability, possibly an a if my final was good enough.
