Exam Week

So it's exam week. I actually sat for one paper last week and have two more to go this week. I'm feeling soooooooooo demotivated though. I can't make myself read the notes that I need to go through for the exams. I remember the first semester I was here and how my heart would just beat a million times faster (figuratively) just counting down the days to the exams. Now I can't give a hoot! Two of the exams are open book tests and you know what that means right? The answers aren't in the book so you can bring all the books and notes you want, but you won't find the answer there. Most of the time it's because the exam is all about the application of the concepts that you've learnt in class. It's all those "what do you think about...." questions. The grading of those types of exams are so subjective. If you think the way your professor does, that normally means you'll get a higher mark. They all say that we have to back up our conclusions with concrete reasons and facts. But you can tell in the discussions in class that sometimes the way you see things are the 'wrong' way. You'll argue your heart out with the professor and he'll say oh, I'm not saying that you'r wrong, but this is what I think the answer is. See who gets the most points for thinking the answer the professor thinks is the best. hmph... Whether I like these exams are really dependant on how well I can read the professor and which direction I think he'll take with an opinion.

The multiple choice question types of exams are sometimes are a drag to sit for too. There's only one answer that is correct and my memory isn't very strong. When it comes to definitions and concepts, sometimes I can't remember the exact words so I end up not knowing what the answer of a question is.

I like exams that let you play around with a software or program on a computer. You can tell if you'r wrong if the software won't allow you to do a certain thing. hehehehhe..... I don't know, is that cheating?

Anyway, yeah as I said I don't have the strength and motivation to read anymore for my exams. I thought I would, but hmph, nothing's making me study. Sigh... I suppose I should just look through my notes again. At least I can say that I tried even if the exams go bad tonight.

Wish me luck!
