I'm in the US and they set our final exam schedule at the beginning of the semester.Uni in America sounds mental.
All exams at my university (UK) are set in stone weeks before, organised centrally by the relevant offices. The only instance in which they could be moved is due to say extreme weather.
I'm in the US and they set our final exam schedule at the beginning of the semester.
I have Financial Management on Friday and Intermediate Macro Economics next Monday and I haven't started studying for either
It should also be noted that all my Finals are worth 50% from 1st-3rd year no exception. I was shock to find out it is different for some many people on here.
Engineering Graphics and Public Speaking tomorrow.
Intro to Engineering and Calculus I on Thursday.
I'm not too worried about the Public speaking final, but the other three have me a little stressed. At least it's almost done.
Edit - And just as a side note. If you are on the fence about finishing school, don't wait ten years to go back and try to do this stuff like I did. This last couple of semesters have really opened my eyes about just how much I pissed away my early twenties.
I hope most US universities follow that method then!
Is that low or high for the US?
The majority of my exams over my degree have been worth 70% of the module, with one or two being weighted 50% (such as Time Series Econometrics this year which was half coursework assignments). I prefer exams though, so it's a nice set up.
For my school in Canada the course syllabus is given in the first class and the instructor can't change anything in it unless there is a class vote and it passes with like 75% (I have never seen one occur). The exams are set in stone about a month later and done by the university themselves, and also can't be changed.
Any other way is crazy, people design their schedules around the info given, just changing the dates is unfair.
Please tell me the public speaking class exam involves public speaking somehow.
Goodbye >3.9 GPA.
B+ in Technical Writing has to be a joke.
I know them feels. You can still win a lot of scholarships between 3.5 and 3.89, though!
Just wanted to hop in here and say...fuck group projects. So pissed right now. Luckily it will be all over tomorrow.
For realz. Luckily this semester I had a good group, but yeah they are almost always terrible.

Oh man, so I have 5 big projects due by the end of next week. I just broke down and started crying. Finals are such a strange time in my life

Yeah, and there's still hope that I can remain above 3.9, but I need to get 7/15 questions right on this Physics exam tomorrow for a B+ and even that is sounding high right now. That's probably not good. It's my last exam though.
You can?
Of the year or or in general?
Bout to take finals for 2 classes I never studied for lol. Hopefully I catch Cs. Don't care as long as I pass the class at this point.
Next Monday through Wednesday:
Differential Equations Final -> Chem II Final -> Matlab Final -> Thermo Final.
In the mean time I have scholarship essays, lab reports, a transfer application, and a Thermo paper to finish.
I've been so on edge the past week. =/
got a 33 on my Finance final, still passed the class tho
#YOLO
class average was 47
Does Adderall work? I never tried it, but my friend claimed it help get weeks of studying in days.
Adderall makes doing work fun. Not even kidding. And then you do the work and you feel like you just planted a flag at the top of a mountain.
Conversely, you can end up getting distracted and watch 60 hours worth of The Wire between Monday and Friday. Which is something I've done during finals week. But hey, my finals were easy and I aced 'em anyway, so thanks for getting me a Wire refresher, Adderall!
Sarcasm?
Adderall is literally legalized and controlled speed. I'm pretty sure there's nothing similar that would be available online in pill form, but I will say that I've hit a similar level of focus with 5 Hour Energy.What's the best Adderall-like or Ritalin-like legal drug that can be bought at amazon, guys?.
Professors need to post my grades. For serious.

There seems to be no way to get it without a doc's prescription, I want to check if there is any reliable (too many scam-pills everywhere) website that sells it.
No curve? Once I had an exam that had an average of Negative 30. My mark was a negative 23. After the curve I had a 71. That was a stupid exam.
