Du'ers who are currently in school: How stressed are you over midterms?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

mine are this week and i am going nutso.

[LaraMN]

1. I can't complain; I don't have any!

I have to conduct the midterm for the class I T/A for, since the prof. will be gone, but my other classes entail projects and speeches, but no papers or tests. It's a nice change, for one semester, at least! That said, I'm a bit stressed about the speech I have to give Wednesday, since I haven't written it yet.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. thats really cool. i have 2 exams, one on wed and one on thursday

that combined with FT work..is stress inducing.

[LaraMN]

3. I don't envy you. I hate memorizing info for tests.

I'm one of the freaks who gets really happy over essay exams.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. i also think that i learn nothing from all this memorization...

[Omphaloskepsis]

4. Finals were last week.. We are now on Spring Break.

I only took 2 classes this term and both were easy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. lucky you! spring break is next week for me!

8. Today is the first day of class for Spring Quarter

Last week was spring break. But, if it makes you feel better, two weeks ago finals sucked

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. i am sorry your finals sucked...

was it finals or midterms? isnt it too early for finals?

pri

19. we're on a quarter system

10 week quarters; winter quarter started January 3rd, and ended the first week of march

[LeftyMom]

9. Not at all.

One test, one paper. That's not too bad.

10. I have a final on Wednesday, and I don't really know how to deal with it

That whole class has been a bit of a joke, well actually a total joke, and I think the test will be easy. The only problem is if they grade it hard. Still, the prof has told us that the final is usually the best grade in the class, so if my past grades are a guide I'll do fine. I'm still worried though because it's hard to study for this.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. why was the class a joke?

[rockymountaindem]

28. Because it wasn't about anything

The prof let it turn into a current events forum with very little academic material. It was hard to take notes and now it's kind of hard to study for the test as a result.

11. We had ours three weeks ago.

They weren't bad. One in history and one in Spanish. Lots of writing for the former, lots of memorization for the latter.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. both these tests are memorization based. we had one paper already.

cant remember what the hell i have been reading

[deadparrot]

16. Well, history was essentially three hours of writing one paper.

So you had to memorize the information, but synthesis and organization was the point of the test.

But I feel your pain. I've spent the last two weeks writing and editing a fifteen-page and a ten-page paper. And I've still got another 10-15 pager to write. :banghead:

17. I'm WRITING midterm exams this week...

...and I'm in a foul mood.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. lol!

[TheMightyFavog]

20. Most Senior level Media and Technology studies classes here at UWSP dont have midterms.

End of Line.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

26. my finals are turning out to be three days in a row....

rah rah rah...:eyes:

[sir_captain]

22. I have multiple exams every week

so I'm pretty much inured to the constant horror.

No, that's a lie. I'm still completely horrified.

Good luck on your exams! What kind of degree are you getting?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. M.S. in industrial organizational psychology.
