Always a head-banger for us non-athletic nerds who had nothing but our poor brains.
Oh geeze, that brought back an unpleasant memory. Back when I was doing Matriculation (in Australia), if you were close to passing in an individual exam at the end of the year you were granted a Supplementary exam. I had a Supp for Chemistry. In the final exam, the main Inorganic question was on lead, properties, reactions with acids etc., which I didn't answer very well. So, when studying for the Supp, I revised all the Inorganic curriculum except lead, thinking it wouldn't appear twice. Well, I was wrong & that's why I did not pass Matric Chemistry back in 1963
My teachers are all Indian guys who have Youtube channels but they still suck at teaching T-T
I was such a technophobe that I didn't want to check my final marks online, even though they were released the day before the posted/mailed ones. My mum is still not happy with me making her wait another day, but she got me back by dragging me down to the school after opening the mail, because she thought I was really upset I didn't get the mark I was expecting (I was a little disappointed, but moved on easily, she was the one who thought it would mean I would miss out on uni).
Sometimes they want a college degree to prove that you are capable of learning at a certain level and so can learn what they need to teach you. Law school admissions are very much like that and so are many jobs.
I remember being in absolute "culture shock" when my mom made me start college at age 14. I went from seeing all of my teachers in elementary school and middle school either wear dresses or full-length skirts and blouses (for the female teachers) or full-on suits or a button-up shirt and tie (for the male teachers) to taking an "introduction to philosophy" class in my first semester in college - and the teacher walked in wearing a Hawaiian shirt, board shorts, and flip-flops with a Gandalf-class beard and long white hair tied back in a ponytail with a strip of leather XD And yes, some of my college profs did wear more formal clothing, but the vast majority of them were super laid-back in both appearance and attitude, like OP describes above XD
I hit wait. Over. And over. And over. Until I finally pass out and wake up with it and me covered in drool 🤷🏼♀️
why was her soulmate hiding in the administration building though?
Better to leave it blank when your exam also has negative points for each question wrong
And this, dearest children, this is how it was in days of yore when we, your forebearers, were there.
I never cheated once, and got a BA MCL by copying so much stuff from books because I cited their sources. Citations is the cheat code.
If I didn't play music while studying, my brain would fück off and contemplate things like, "Water is a clear, colorless fluid. Why, then, is a wet towel darker than a dry one?"
I could do with a degree or two, it's only six outside and going to be colder tomorrow. 🥶
I remember in ninth grade we had maths homework and our teacher told us to do only 3 questions. What she neglected to mention was the fact that one of those questions was a proving type question while the other two had subparts that went from a. to h.
Had this happen when I booked a Drs. appointment on-line and her picture was 30 years out of date.
Sometimes what they put down is so off the wall that you have no idea what they did wrong.
The thing is, physically writing something helps the brain remember it. Even using a keyboard isn't the same. Note taking is a lost skill.
Way back when I was taking Earth science in 8th grade one of the less gifted students actually answer the question "What is bedrock" with The town where the Flintstones live."
Now that I'm long past college, that's me with going to sleep XD
As long as you can get some decent sleep in between, it's not a bad plan! Cramming works!
Back in the day, speeding to get to the professor's office to hand in the paper.
Spotted on a t-shirt: Things are so bad, that if a clown beckoned to me from the woods, I'd just go.
I’m atheist but I was once so cooked on an exam that I prayed to all the gods I remembered and was able to pass the exam
Upper level astronomy class in college, I wrote a paper about the planet Venus which I never did understand. I got an A. The professor was great, very helpful in recommending source material. I was in college in the 70s and he's one of the few professors I remember. I was a general studies major, or as my family doctor put it, I majored in everything.
My old high school (partially) burned down when my brother was in year 12. All of the tech wing, which housed the art, woodworking, metalwork and v c&d rooms were lost. The year 12 art students who lost their art portfolios got special considerations, but still had to complete something to hand in so they didn't fail (and still had to do the exam).
I know this is gonna get buried down here, but I just graduated with highest honors with a BS in computer science this morning and I’m extremely excited and this seems like an appropriate post to put it on :)
