Re: Complain about finals thread

Yeah, I'm lame. And in high school. xD

AP Government - Tomorrow. Er. Later today.. Going to fail this. Big time.
Honors English - Tomorrow. Eh. Could care less. >__>
Honors German II - Tomorrow. D; Probably not gonna do too well... BARELY have a C going into this. I get 3 extra points for honors classes, but still. 20% of my final grade.
Geometry - Tuesday. Easy class, probably an easy final. Should finish up with an A.
Wellness - Tuesday. Easy class, open book final (I think), should finish alright.

YEAH. I know. I suck. xD Oh well.

Re: Complain about finals thread

WOOT I'm done ! Finals are over and my two math projects (which took by the way 50 HOURS EACH) are handed. I'm feeling a little bit of regret since in the end I rushed things up a little bit for one of them and after it was handed I noticed a minor mistake at the beginning (which didn't screw my solutions, it just make it look like I didn't start with the right fonction). Oh well, I survived my semester so all is good after all xD

Re: Complain about finals thread

Someone should make a tutorial on studying for finals because I have no idea how to study at all.
But I had my finals from on days in the last week of november and the week of dec. 5: stats, calc, military science, and general mythology. I didn't study at all :/

Ask your teacher's for a study guide perhaps, if not applicable the best thing to do is just review all of the covered material.

Do you wish to become an Actuary?

I finished my last final on Saturday. My schedule went like this:

12/10: 15th-18th century European history; Decent final, but I didn't stop writing for the entire three hours. I had ~85 going into the final and my final grade is 85, so I'm pleased.
12/13: Latin (part I); Simple final for a simple (and fun) class; went into the final with ~97 and my final grade is 98... demolished! I'm looking forward to part II next semester.
12/14: Microeconomics; Such a boring class... the final was irritating, too. Easy, but irritating. I don't know my final grade yet but I went into the final with a 95.
12/16: Logic; Such an easy class, and the final was really easy too--I finished in forty minutes and we were given three hours. Don't know my final grade on this one either, but I went into the final with 90%.
12/18: Calculus; My forté. Destroyed the final. Hopefully I didn't **** up something minor with the graph or forget to show vital work somewhere. Should hopefully end with 97+.

I think I studied too much though.

I'm a second year Latin student. I very much enjoy the class. I especially can appreciate the universal practicality of it. I use my Latin skills every day in one way or another.

I am taking European history next year alongside US History. The APEuro and APUSH classes are fairly intense, but I've got a knack for the history field. I know that I have enjoyed World History very much.

How is Microeconomics? I considered taking it, but decided to take Digital Engineering to follow up the credits I have in Introduction to Engineering and Design, seeing as how they are both dual credit courses and I can get college credits for $15 a credit hour.

Heck no. It was just the only upper-level math course I had the prerequisites for and I need to take these courses as fast as I can so I can get to student teaching before I run out of money.

That makes sense. I've just read recently about all the good things being said about the job of an Actuary, the employment outlook of the field and the general good light the job has from a logistical aspect. However, despite all of this hype, I have yet to personally converse with an individual hoping to become an Actuary.

There's something to be said about being able to recognize, understand, and write a "dead" language.

European history is neverending; we glossed over so many things in order to get through the course. My friend's brother took US History, and all I know is that he enjoyed it, but the term papers were semi-irritating and the he was somewhat dreading the final exam.

You very likely made the better choice. I dreaded that class every Tuesday and Thursday for 75 endless minutes in assumption hell.

I prefer to think of it as the reincarnated language. The language itself might be "dead" in that it is unchanging, but it makes up such a solid portion of so many other languages and cultures, that to call it dead as a whole is just ignorant.

Haha, I very much enjoyed my classes. IED was better than DE, but that's only because I personally preferred the software (Autodesk Inventor primarily) and the feeling of creating something and printing it into 3D. It was satisfying to see the detail and hard work I put into the project "come to life" so to speak. There was also an intensely larger creative space allowed within the projects. I felt like with IED I was being encouraged to take what I had learned and apply it to my own thoughts. Projects were a challenge, but not a barrier or limitation. With DE I felt it was just the opposite. I felt the projects were created for nothing more than to hold me back from my full potential, and I often times struggled to see the practicality of what I had learned as far as real life application is concerned.

What was it about the microeconomics course that made you dread it so?

Well if you're looking for a job that applies statistics and social sciences, it's certainly an option. Pay is great too. Lots of bull**** tests you have to take to get licensed but with the insurance industry in this country as big as it is, you can probably find work.
