Finals!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Who else is going through the torture of finals?

This is the hardest projected semester in my academic career and it is definitely living up to expectations to say the least!

This is my course load and I have a final in all of the courses...

Drilling Technology II
Thermodynamics II
Geophysics
Facilities Engineering II
Petroleum Production Engineering
Reservoir Engineering
Engineering Economics

It's been a lot of late nights at the library, and I still have 5 left in 4 days!!!

Thats my horror, now fellow students, shear yours!

I'm getting out of it right now. I'll have one last semester to go, but I'm pretty sure this current one will stay the toughest of them. Most of my courses have under-evaluated out-of class work times, and the load of them has been incredible.

My "finals", however, are mostly heavy, long-winded projects.

Since you listed yours, here are mine:

Usability and evaluation: User file construction (~50 hours in 3 weeks)
Usability and evaluation: Heuristic evaluation (a 6-hour final, ouch)
Web design I : Major web site redesign (210+ hours in 10 weeks)
Editorial Illustration: six projects over the semester (~ 6 hours minimum, up to 20)
Information design and visualisation: four projects from annual report to representing music visually (~20 hours each)
Logic Principles: only exams for this one, with a 4-hour final coming this week.

With little time left for work, I'm poor.

Did them all last week. My jury sucked big time because I was sicker than a dead dog, but the rest went pretty swell. Finals week is the most boring week of school however.

I'm going through finals hell at the other end -- grading them! I have five papers to go, each about ten pages, and they require detailed evaluation. I was planning to get some done this morning, but here I am on TB. How about that? We're travelling for the holidays, so I need my students' grades in by the end of this week. I also have to monitor exams tomorrow. As long as nobody cheats or freaks out and causes a crisis, it should be okay.

As to all taking finals, good luck!

I have 2 final exams, one class I know I failed and the other I think I did.

This school thing isn't going well for me.

I agree. I know it would take me a LONG time to pay off my loans accrued just this year alone if i were to quit all together. Kind of sad/motivation at the same time lol...

*it will all be worth it when i have more gear than i'll ever need*

How are you liking Neuropsychology? I'm taking it next semester. Right now I'm taking Physiological Psychology, and I really enjoy it.
