I got a conditional offer of 2.1 for a masters in media and design here. This should be achievable I hope.
Yay!
Metope:
Oh god, exams from Monday to Friday next week, I'm going completely insane trying to grasp all the words in the books and compendiums, this is too much at once! Couldn't they just have spread the exams out a little? On top of everything the prof decided to give us the translated versions of rather large essays to read, which would have been okay if only they were translated to Norwegian, but they're translated to Swedish! From English! First of all, if possible: Read everything in the original language (which is no problem in this case, everyone knows English). Second, Swedish is really hard to read! I don't know a single Norwegian who finds Swedish easier to read than English. In other words: The professor here managed to make it more difficult for the students to study while at the same time lowering the quality of the studying material, way to go.
On the bright side I'll be done with my bachelor as of Friday next week at 1 pm. Woo!
LTK:
Sounds like a really stupid move on your prof's part, Metope. Do you have any way of accessing the essays in English? Anyway, go for that end sprint!
Unbelievably enough, I scored a 35/40 on the mutliple choice test about neuroanatomy and physiology of last Friday. It had a lot of dry facts to go through, most notably all the neuron and brain structures and their functions in both human and rat, and I hadn't memorized nearly enough of them. Fortunately, the student's association has the exams of previous years posted online, and they appeared to recycle about 80 questions over the past three years, so that made me pretty confident I could get the 25 correct questions needed, but I never expected to only get five of them wrong! The next course is about 'perception and visual consciousness', whatever that means, but it's bound to be more interesting than this one. Woo, brains!

Ninjas! on 22 Apr 2010, 03:20 ---Out of all the lecturers I have had, all bar one have actively discouraged us from using any Latin at all ever, something I find a bit annoying considering how important stuff like the equitable maxims are and how courts still drag out from time to time.
The other demanded that we know all the Latin phrases he taught us, and included them in questions in a closed-book test to make sure. I liked that guy.

I'm guessing that the first group of lecturers didn't share tables with the last one.

I just denied my offer to University of Texas.
University of Illinois, here I come. I love corn fields! I love them so much!
