For those of us in school...
Well, for many of us, the semester is drawing to a close. I have finals this week, myself, in fact. I should probably be studying for them, hum.
But, some of my classes don't have finals. In fact, one of my classes is already graded! I got an A in Poetry, everyone! Huzzah!
Of course, I'm a Computer Science major. Getting an A in Poetry is meaningless. (But it does improve my GPA! Whee!)Thanks to zegma for my awesome avatar.

Re: For those of us in school...
No finals for me in high school yet. Not till after christmas break.

Re: For those of us in school...
My school doesn't have finals. Instead, we have a horrible torrent of projects throughout the year, and three intense Senior Projects at the end of this year (as I am a senior).
Fortunately, in 4 days, I'm done until winter break is over.Spoiler"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

Re: For those of us in school...
Ugh....I'm doing horrible.
Machine Trades :A
English: D-
Algebra: F
Chemistry:B+
Aerospace Engineering: F
Economics: F
Seems like the only way for me to get my grades up would be to ace the finals...something that excluding last year's history, is impossible for me. And it figures that the only classes offering extra credit are those that I excel in anyway.Last edited by BizzaroStormy; 2008-12-15 at 11:24 PM.

Re: For those of us in school...
The criminal masterminds in charge of the sadistic and evil IB program have set up some ridiculous system where all the finals have to go on the last two days, and they just hit them all in a row. That and I have a few other tests and a presentation scattered throughout the week. Because IB is evil. That said for finals the only ones I'm worried about at all are history, and Spanish. Mostly Spanish, that one is just scary. As I'm still in high school I don't have any cool classes with finals(except for possibly Videography and Robotics, but those really aren't specialized much.)

Re: For those of us in school...
I am finishing my last semester and graduate with my BA on Saturday, so these are my last finals for a while.
One class didn't have one, we just had a final paper and group presentation that was due last Monday. A in that class.
Another class's final was last Wednesday, grade unknown but I'm thinking A for the class. I needed 32/50 to get an A so...yeah.
Had my last translating final this afternoon.
My last final as a first time undergrad is at 7.30am Wednesday morning. Shouldn't be a problem. I'm stoked for my last final. :DShow me how pretty the world is

Re: For those of us in school...
Finals in our school started today. I'm dreading the arrival of the test papers I'm going to check, and proctoring finals is boring. (Which is why I end up reading my D&D books during exam week.)

Re: For those of us in school...
Didn't have any finals today, but I have two tomorrow. I'm not particularly worried, though. I've always been a test-taker. Tomorrow I have French and Math. Wednesday it's Theatre (piece of cake), and Thursday is Geology. Then I can go home!

Re: For those of us in school...
I'm officially 50% done with finals. Just have U.S. Government and Statistics left. Also, I get tomorrow off because I don't have to take either of the exams scheduled for then. Go me!

Re: For those of us in school...
Finals started today for me. Chemistry. I think it went decently.
I've got CS tomorrow, which will be difficult, I think. The midterm was easy, though, so maybe not.

Running a 4.0 for this term.

Re: For those of us in school...
Does university live here too?
I only did one unit this semester. I was really worried about it: I'm sure I did badly in the two quizzes, I didn't think much of the group prac report, and my final assignment was over a week late and in Science the penalty is 5% a day. I saw one of my lecturers (which was surprising, considering the unit's based on the coast, three hours away...), and he said that our prac report was one of the best, that my assignment was very good and I'm an excellent writer and I got an extension, and I stood out at the school The results are meant to be available now, but apparently some people haven't handed in the assignment yet, so results will be late In the meantime, I have the mysterious "RU" ("Results Unavailable") next to this unit. At least, however, I can be pretty sure I've finished my whole BaA/Sc, with at least a Credit average!The Iron Avatarist Hall of Fame!

Re: For those of us in school...
My finals thus far:
Biology (Only one I'm slightly worried about the results of)
Geography (Pathetically easy)
Geometry (Was really worried, turned out to be quite easy)
Computer Applications (Didn't have to take, because my teacher is awesome and averaged my last three six weeks grades instead )
Tomorrow and the next day:
English (Not worried)
Spanish (Not worried either)
Newspaper (I've heard we don't have to do anything, really)
So yeah. Finals are going great for me.

Re: For those of us in school...
Here's how it goes at my school:
-This week and last week are for teachers to cram in as many tests and papers as they can before the semester ends
-Then winter break, so that we can forget everything that we learned during the semester
-And when we get back, MIDTERMS! YAYLOLZ!
Luckily, I'm pretty sure I'm getting an A in all my classes. Pending the grading and return several major assignments and midterms, of course.
I'm just worried about that math test on Thursday...

Re: For those of us in school...
This is my list of things to do for tomorrow: (By 3 pm)
Write an article report about a published engineering paper.
Create a presentation using material from said article.
Prove something about said article.
Write a paper about what I did for said presentation.
Finish up some homework problems for the class (which are stupidly long).
All for Optimal Controls. Yay grad school!
At least I don't have any tests.
One down.. 4 more to go.Last edited by RandomLogic; 2008-12-17 at 12:34 AM.

Re: For those of us in school...
I start my finals on Thursday. Have a fun exciting line up of:
World History
Algebra 2
Cisco
and the ever popular, only class in the school that doesn't have a final.

Re: For those of us in school...
If uni can live here too then... I just got an email notifying me that i've been accepted into uni next year!!!
It's an automatically generated email and doesn't tell me which course, so i'm eagerly awaiting my formal notice in the mail. I'm hoping to get into Wildlife Biology though and then after that, Vet Science.

Re: For those of us in school...
I'm homeschooled, so I really don't have any finals this last week. Well, other than the Geometry test yesterday.
In fact, I don't think I've ever had something like "finals." You poor souls...
