November 13th: Developmental Psychology Final
Today was my first final and I was supposed to take the exam
in a classroom I haven’t ever been to before. By the time I found it all the
room numbers were off and I almost went into the wrong exam room. I was still
early to my exam but I was the last one to sit down. Once I sat down I didn’t know
the procedure to taking exams here. Because it is such a large university they
have to have you write your student code and information on a check in sheet
where they will walk around and check that you are you taking the exam and not
someone taking it for you. There were about 90 multiple choice questions in 2
hours and it went well. I studied hard for this exam going through every
lecture in the past few days and writing down my notes on them. I’m glad it
went well.
November 14th: Animal Behaviour Final
Today was a very stressful day. I felt that the exam from
9-11 went well and that it was even easier than the midterm in this class. But then
I needed to stay on campus to finish a report so I could print it out and hand
it in before 9am the next day (I didn’t want to make an extra trip down at
night). I spent hours working on my final report for MBM on the whale watch
trip. I was very frustrated because the statistics were clearly statistically significant
but the stats work reported it wasn’t. I then video called home and went to go
print out the report and hand it in. I then headed home and went to study for
some more of the tests the next day. Later that day I went to go look at my
class unit guide to find out info on the final and I saw that the way I had
done the report was wrong and I knew I would lose a lot of points if I didn’t change
it before the due date. At around 9 or 10 o’clock I had to run down to the
library, figure out which printer to use after putting money on my card and
then find the drop box. Once I got to the drop box it was closed and I couldn’t
get to it, by now I was so frustrated. I was about to call security and then
found a different door with a drop box. I was so tired from stress that day I fell
asleep very early…. Ready for the next final
November 15th: Marine Birds and Mammals Final
Today I studied this morning to try to understand material
in this class from the beginning of the semester and then headed to my final. It
was 5 essays on the 5 parts of the course and I was able to pick either-or on
each section. I felt really comfortable with my exam and was glad it was over…
my hand was super cramped! Wrote 10 pages…. Onto studying for the last final I am
really worried about.
November 16th: Physiology Final
Today was my last final of this semester. I was super
nervous and studied most of the morning. I took two multiple choice practice
tests and hardly got any questions right. I was super nervous about this exam. Once
I got to the exam I was very relieved to see that it was 40 multiple choice and
12 of 20 given written questions. The written portion was worth 2/3 of the
grade and I was very happy I was able to pick which essay to write about. After
writing everything I could think of for each essay and making sure I took all
the time I could on the multiple choice (3 hours later and 12 pages written) I was
very confident with how the test went and was sure I’d pass. I went home and
was super glad to be done with finals, they were very stressful. But it doesn’t
feel like I’m done with a semester again even though I am. 3 more to go till I graduate
now… time goes so fast.
