I’m Too Darn OLD for Finals!!! 0.o
Just finished running the mental marathon of a final exam in Anatomy & Physiology. Nota bene that this course was intended for the “allied professions” … who else would end up with a hybrid mixture of Chemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, all crammed into some poor little cranium in such a microscopic length of time as 8 weeks!!!
The final was composed of endless fill-ins and matching; no multiple choice; 5 “short answer” questions, each needing only a few paragrahs (fit an explanation of the function of water in relation to everything in the human body into a few paragraphs!); and 3 essays. Glad I was typing, and not writing!
Don’t even ask me about the questions that call for one answer, but had 3 to 5 answers in the text! *ack!* I just write in all of the answers and hope for the best.
We had 3 1/2 hours … I managed it in 2 1/2 (I hope!)
So far, the most challening part of this course was following a ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat, with tomato, lettuce and peppers, through the body from the first bite to the final flush, including the chemical reactions along the way. It was fun to write. I got a perfect score on it, but I’m not sure if I got it for my humor, or my information … *blink!* (”Bolus Bob” bows before the adoring crowd … ;o)
On Sunday, I’ll begin psych and a basic computer course. Should be interesting. By next Wednesday, I should have the results of my final. Depending on how I did … I may append the overall course grade to this post. At the moment, it’s not bad … but when you have 3 essays worth 20 points each, grades can change fast! *cringe!*

Yay Moofie!! Finally done with the finals!! I’m sure you did a fantastic job. You always do. I don’t know how to cram so much information into that poor little head of yours!! I know I couldn’t do it!!
Three cheers for the Moof!

Congrats on finishing your finals! YES! Usually, in my past experience, when you finish an exam in less than the allotted time, you probably aced it!
I’m betting psych and computers will be a walk in the park for you! ;)

No multiple choices!!! You mean you didn’t get a chance to go ‘Inky pinky ponky, Father had a Donkey, Donkey died, Father cried, Inky pinky ponky’ on all the choices and choose the one that you stopped on!! That’s no way to conduct an exam..

sounds like you take tests like I do … fast and furious.
If I take them too slow … I wind up doing far worse than if I speed through them.
I’m betting you did great!

Good Job Moofie!!
personally, I don’t like test questions that do not have pretty pictures I can point at for the answers :)

Wish Chris was done, he has to work Saturday again, so it’s looking like another Sunday night Stress-0-thon for him; and by extension, me. I’m working that night; so he’ll have the house to himself, but that’s no guarantee, depending on DeVry’s servers and the final itself, I’m prepared to come home to a stressed-out husband.

Yeah!

Thank you everone! How I did remains to be seen … I hope to know by Wednesday.
By then, I’ll already be up to my eyeballs in the other courses …
Sorry I haven’t been in here much … I hope to get caught up on my blogging in the next day or so.
