The official "I hate finals/exams" thread - late 2008 edition

This past weekend was spent preparing for a very tough Real Analysis exam, which I don't think I did very well on. I finished with a B in the class, though, so I have no complaints! I took my last two finals yesterday — Geometry and Psychology. I will officially be a Penn State graduate on Saturday! :)
 
I finished my last one today. I had three total!

Organic Chemistry 1 on tuesday (went well!)
Human Physiology on Thursday (went excellently)
Calculus 1 this morning (went OK)

I'm glad this semester is over! Only 3 more and I'll be a University of Utah graduate and hopefully in Medical School.

SLC
 
Finally, they're over.

On Wednesday, I had Algebra II, Geometry and World History finals.

On Thursday, I had Band, Physics and English finals.

Today, Spanish and Health Science finals.

Phew.
 
Today I took my English, Algebra, and Environmental Studies finals.
I got a 74% on Algebra.
Environmental Studies was really hard so I just bombed like half of it.
In English I just had 150 vocabulary words, I think I did pretty well.

How did your World History final go?
And you're taking Algebra II and Geometry? My school doesn't let you take Algebra II until you pass Geometry.

Band has finals??!:eek:
 
Yeah, by law every teacher is required to give a final for every class, well at least in my state.

OMG! I just found out I got a 100% on my World History final!!!:eek::D:cool:

I remember having to take a final for study hall. Weird, I know. The teacher had to make up a final so he asked the class to write a paper whether ppl are born bad or are raised in a way that they turn out to be bad.:rolleyes:

I wrote about the nurture of the baby...

History is my best subject, I'm pretty confident I'm gonna get a high A.

And the whole math class situation. I actually failed Algebra I last year, so I was supposed to take it again this year along with geometry. Something got messed up in the process, and they gave me Algebra II instead. (I find it much easier then Algebra I, so I'm not complaining.)

Yep.

Yeah, they are ridiculously easy, or at least mine was back in high school. It was more a formality than anything else, since every class had to have a final exam.

Eh, they're not hard. Basically, the written test is all about naming notes and key's and such. The playing portion is harder, it's usually a bunch of scales in a kind of obscure key. (Which I barely passed, the key had like seven sharps.:rolleyes:)

Let's not encourage anti-intellectualism, a spirit that already has a strong foothold in this country. Instead, let's celebrate someone earning 100% on a test and ridicule those who make online grammatical mistakes (i.e. your instead of you're).
 
I finished the last of my finals yesterday, I found them all pretty easy. I've gotten the results of the first two, photography and math, I got top of the class in both of them. I actually managed to get 98.5% on my math final, so my final grade was just over 97% and the teacher didn't offer extra credit. The kicker is that I haven't studied for any of the tests in math :cool:
 
Finished my finals. yay!

Linux+ - 68%
CCNA1 - 75%
Networking - 77%

Good enough. Got B's in those three classes. Didn't study too hard, but could've done a lot better, that's for sure.

ahaha...you're my hero.
 
My finals are over but I still don't feel like vacation has arrived. I keep feeling like I should be studying something...
 
Took my exams last week, and passed all 3 with flying colors, even my Algebra class. :cool:

Those teachers are lazy therefore I only check every couple days.

Before you start assigning blame, you might want to find out when the deadline for grade submission was at your university. Chances are it was long before the grades are actually released (this is certainly true at my university--I turned mine in on the 17th and my students still haven't officially received them). If you truly can't wait for your grades, why don't you email your professors and ask if they would be kind enough to let you know your grade. I always do this for my students (although some might not).
