Aug 18, 201213 yr In case anybody is intrested in a new thread for the August 27th class....here I am!
Sep 14, 201213 yr I used every second to finish his exams, and I needed every second. When the time was getting lower I did have some anxiety going, which didn't help matters. Yes, absolutely do those last 5 bonus questions.I took it yesterday. Pretty straight forward but I was not good at managing my time. I didn't feel that there were trick questions but i am a poor test taker during a timed exam. Like the professor said, do the 5 questions on the last page for extra credit!

Yes, absolutely do those last 5 bonus questions.On the final, I did the extra credit questions first. I was at least assured of 5 points. I thought the final was a bit more challenging, but very similar to the midterm.
Sep 14, 201213 yr Author I used every second to finish his exams, and I needed every second. When the time was getting lower I did have some anxiety going, which didn't help matters. Yes, absolutely do those last 5 bonus questions.I panicked fairly early, lol. It was not a good scene for a while there, and I knew how to work out the problems. I think it's not enough time AT ALL. You basically have to go thru the problems without hesitation! Quite unfair when the notes are not all they're cracked up to be. Week 4 here we come!
Sep 14, 201213 yr I needed more time!! I knew how to do the problems but as time ran out I found myself randomly popping in numbers so nothing was left blank. I did answer the 5 point bonus questions first. I walked away hoping I passed. Very anxiety producing and when I'm anxious my neurons don't synapse :) I just want to pass!

I thought she was great and loved my TA. They made me believe I could do this and I did.
Sep 14, 201213 yr Author Do you have professor K? I thought she was great and loved my TA. They made me believe I could do this and I did.No I have professor L who seems pretty good too. We really don't hear from him. My TA is great. She gets right back to us with questions. Only 2 weeks left.
Sep 14, 201213 yr I don't think I did very well on the mid term exam. I made sure I answered the bonus questions at the end. At least I should have 5 points.
Sep 14, 201213 yr Author I was sick to my stomach after that one!!!! My hands were so shakey while I tried to do the calculations...what a nerd.....
Sep 14, 201213 yr Author Now we have to wait for 7-10 days for the results I'm so bummed right now!Right there with ya!!
Sep 14, 201213 yr Right there with ya!!Think of it this way... If we don't pass the class at least we'll know what to expect for the next time! Im not so sure id do any better taking it again. The thought of having to repeat it makes me sick! It's pretty pathetic when you are ecstatic at the thought of just getting a C. Can we get a C- or does it have to be a C? I'm at the point of no longer being concerned about my GPA, I just want to pass!

Should I care? Not going any further than this so I guess not!!
