Stressed about finals

Post by Trytostaydead »

Sigh, sorry. Finals week coming up and I'm soo stressed right now.

One of my classes, one of the advanced upper division science courses has a history of a 40% fail rate. For one reason or another, my class is doing 30% on AVERAGE better than any other year (maybe because half of the class was in this class last year too). So one would expect the teacher to be pleased and set the average a little higher. But nooo, he's determined to fail half of the class regardless. He's setting the average to a C which makes this class now a straight curve (for an advanced science course in college.. that is INSANE).. and to make matters worse, he's making the final about 50 multiple choice.. ONLY. That.. is.. FUCKING.. CRAZY!

The TAs are all in agreement that the final looks REALLY REALLY hard, all fifty questions will take us about 2-3 hours to complete (translated.. trickery with words). God almighty.. save me Jeebus!

I mean, at least my other teacher is decent enough to set 45% as a B. Sheesh.

I've never worried about quizzes, tests, or finals... dunno why. Well good luck, looks like you're gonna need it.
