Hows everyone set for the next 2 weeks?

I've gotten by on cramming during study week for the past three years, but this year it just doesn't seem to be enough.

The fact that there are only two this semester is nice, but i'm not looking forward to PHAR40070 tomorrow, in fact i'm really starting to panic:(

I know what you mean. Just focus on past exam papers rather than cram. Pick out a few questions and develop an answer for them

And when said question doesn't come up, then PANIC!

I feel pretty fine. Only worried about my first exam. Hopefully I can scrape a pass in it.(also the fact that its a 100% final exam sucks

) But anyway have 3 of my exams basically passed with 30% or more obtained already in them. So I am happy about that. Then the other two exams I feel comfortable that I can do well in.

so does that mean you only need 10% from the final exam to pass? or do you have to get 40% in the final exam?

JBUCD · 07-12-2009 12:24AM

Yes I only need 10% in the final exam for them. Just takes a bit off pressure off me. Anyway I'm going to make sure I do well in the exam also so my gpa is good.

Extrasupervery · 07-12-2009 03:52AM

Not a clue really- could be set, could be blissfully ignorant.

Oh well, an exam is an exam. Life goes on.

Good luck!

Mushy · 07-12-2009 10:34AM

Today should be ok, Cities in a Global Context, know the topics, and pretty much the questions coming up.

Tomorrow, Sociology of Education...questions are quite tricky, but will hopefully get through it. Same as Theory 3 for sociology.

All in all, should be ok, get by in the nick of time, although nothing spectacular.

Good luck everyone.

insert-gear · 07-12-2009 11:03AM

Finance. Oh dear. That is all.

bnt · 07-12-2009 12:21PM

Six exams in ten days, all of them counting 70-100% of the course assessment. That is all.

antomorro-sei · 07-12-2009 12:49PM

Hopefully I'll wing it, lol :pac:

p-nut · 07-12-2009 02:23PM

with my first exam in 3 and a half hours, one word comes to mind to describe my situation....it startes with f and ends in ecked:eek:

Extrasupervery · 08-12-2009 03:02AM

Today - went well
Tomorrow - will be awful

ant043 · 08-12-2009 04:35AM

You don't have to guess how i'm set for my exam at 9 tomorrow by posting this message at 435.

koHd · 08-12-2009 04:39AM

Grand. Got most pressies sorted. Just need to get a nice new coat really.

MetalDawg · 08-12-2009 09:48AM

This is how I'm fixed.

Not only is it late, but it's impinging on my study time

Millennium Development Goals down, 4 to go.
Nice subject!

antomorro-sei · 08-12-2009 09:37PM

Economics & Society down, 4 to go

Wasn't too bad at all. Waffle waffle waffle waffle recession waffle boom waffle etc.

Notorious · 08-12-2009 10:25PM

Ideas in Geography finished with!

I'm not looking forward to International Trade Economics tomorrow. 5 to go.

Sad Professor · 08-12-2009 10:34PM

Political theory tomorrow. I'm so screwed.

I've been looking at past exam questions all day and can't come up with any sort of structured answer. My only hope is to waffle my way through it and hope I show enough understanding of the issues.

Tea-a-Maria · 08-12-2009 11:18PM

My first exam's at 9 tomorrow.Company Law.I'm fairly set for it, but still,EEEEK!

I'm really worried I'm gonna sleep in..

Same here

My knowldge of all 3 guys is virtually non existant.

Its my first exam too, what a bad one to start with.

rainbow kirby · 08-12-2009 11:29PM

Had my first one on Monday evening, pretty much half alright, and half crap. Feeling a bit screwed for the exams I have on Friday and Saturday though :eek::mad:

How did the assignments go? If I remember correctly, 40% is done before sitting the exam?

Chucky the tree · 08-12-2009 11:37PM

Its 70/30 breakdown.

Just learn what each 3 felt on democracy and go from there I'd say.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_Marxism
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill
http://www.stoa.org/projects/demos/article_aristotle_democracy?page=1&greekEncoding=

Few articles on anthenian democracy on blackboard which might help.

I (very) stupidly missed one of them, but did well on the essay. I think I need something like 37 percent in the exam to pass the module.

I'm really worried about this one since it's a core module. I may be alright, it depends how much I remember.

Kournikova · 09-12-2009 12:55AM

I will be relying on memory from lectures to do well in Political Theory lol. I'll see how that works out.

Hey how did you get on? Was easier than I thought..can't believe it. That said, one of my answers was quite waffle-y.

Haha I'm exactly the same as that. One fairly good answer, and one wafflefest. :pac:

Sad Professor · 09-12-2009 07:15PM

I didn't like it at all.

What I wrote amounted to an 8 page memory dump. I don't think I really engaged with the questions at all. They were kinda of tricky. Half of what I wrote probably wasn't even relevant. Feck it, at least it's over. Hopefully I scrapped a pass. Don't fancy having to repeat it.

1 down, 4 to go.

Notorious · 09-12-2009 07:29PM

Anyone else doing the politics of terrorism on Saturday? It should be handy enough... hopefully.

Chucky the tree · 09-12-2009 07:35PM

1a question on the main objective of democracy saved me. All the other question I had no clue on so had to bull**** the second one like most other people. Still gonna stuggle for a pass though.

Will your assignments, attendance etc help you? Exam was only 70%. I don't think I'd be overly confident if the exam had been 100%

Mine were 2 wafflefests, well one I was more confident in.

But still not amazing.

I have economics 2morro, I really shouldn't be on here and Facebook now. :cool:

Varyn · 09-12-2009 10:04PM

Have my first exam tomorrow...Biological Psych. Have literally procrastinated the last two days away

Whyyyyy doI always do this!!!

Jaybl · 09-12-2009 10:31PM

Test today went great. Group Theory I found hard yesterday. I hate 100% final exams. Hopefully I got a pass or that I can get compensated. I dont want to have to that again because I found it hard and I wouldnt be confident in a resit. Hopefully I get compensated since its an option.

p-nut · 13-12-2009 11:51AM

Breathing a sigh of relief as i peel my head from the pillow after a messy night out....exams are out of the way for another semester:D

fatal · 14-12-2009 01:51AM

Only had two exams this semester,Monday and Saturday.All in all I was satisfied with both.The only thing left now is submitting my first thesis draft before crimbo (wohoo!) and 6 modules next semester,all with 100% final exams *gulp*
