ZombieDuke Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Midterms... MIDTERMS!!! THEY ARE UPON US!!! *sobs and hides underneath desk* Quote
redsliver Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 I just finished up my last one on thursday, comes with an impending strike. Quote
ZombieDuke Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 Ouch! Whose striking? I finished up mine today Quote
redsliver Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 My professors voted 19/20 for a strike, they have a mediator and hopefully that works but I'm thinking I may lose a week or two. Quote
AmyMcClair Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 My midterms aren't until March 9. Good luck with the strike thing. I hope it doesn't last as long as my server problems for my online class. Quote

redsliver Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 I'm actually more pissed off at the administration than the profs. I'm also happily informed that no Canadian university has ever lost a semester due to strike. Quote
ZombieDuke Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Posted March 1, 2007 I failed my midterm...by 47%. I got names mixed up, dates mixed up. I'm gonna go cry now. Quote
redsliver Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 47? That's like kicking someone while they're down. I got 4 A-'s. Yay for math based courses, they give you all the formulae you'll need to do the paper right on the sheet and through that you can answer every questionj. On the other hand, I still have no idea how I managed the A- in biochemistry I calculated that out to be a 75 or thereabouts before I handed it in and got an 84... He must have scaled the entire class. Hooray for bell curves. Quote
EveKnight75 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I don't have to deal with mid-term exams. I just got a bunch of papers and the last of them are due next week. On the other hand, I don't get the papers back until after I finish writing my final exam for the course. Makes some sense because my finals are in mid-April, but the tension can kill because no one's ever really sure where they stand when going in. Sure it's only one paper out of 4/5 assignments out of which the lowest grade is discarded, but it's the one that counts for the highest percentage (outside of the final exam), and it's the most recent one. Do you want me to bake you some nice chocolate-chip cookies ZD? They might make you feel better. Quote
ZombieDuke Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Posted March 1, 2007 47? That's like kicking someone while they're down. You know what's really funny? I started writing the correct answer and then scribbled it out. The answer I gave would have given me 3 points thus I would have ended up with a mark of 50%. Which I think is a D-. I would have been happy with a D-. Like, very, VERY happy with a D-. a D- would have made my day. I got 4 A-'s.

You're lucky! I would rather to a research paper then another damn midterm like the one I had (which will be the same style of paper for my final. WAAAAAAH!!!).
