Guest Shadix Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 When do you guys take your mid-term\finals? I have an AP Physics final coming up tomorrow that I am praying doesn't bite me in the arse. I love the subject, I'm just not really that good at it >_>. (Which is odd because I'm usually excellent in math courses.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKrafter Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Fifteenth for me.. I really should be studying for them right now. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 My finals consists of: Art Concepts: Take a quiz on color Drawing: None Art Colloquium: I took pictures and talked about them for 10 minutes Quantatative Reasoning: Don't have to. I was given the choice of taking a B or taking the Final, so I settled for the B College Writing: Write a paper by Saturday (I think) arguing something. I haven't decided yet (throw out ideas if you wish, though they can't be "MACZ SUX") Yea, so basically no finals for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerdude Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I had my midterms/finals at the end of october I believe. My next set is at the end of January... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1LT Worm Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I had my Comparative Politics final on yesterday and my Criminialistics(forensic chemistry) and my Personal Finance finals today. Tomorrow is a study day (aka search-for-Zelda-TP-GCN-and-play-it-day), and Thursday is my Intermediate Japanese final. Comparative Politics and Personal Finance weren't too bad, but I have a feeling Criminialistics completely pwned my ass. I hate Chemistry as it is, and my grade in there is not too hot.

Aaron C-T Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I get to exempt mine because my grades are sex and I'm a high school senior. So I'm going to stay home and work on getting my portfolio ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I took my finals this week, but they were cramed into 2 days instead of over the week and two before dead week (like most other people), so I'm going home tomorrow: Basic Acting Intro to Theatre Classical Mythology Library 110 (ghey class - required for everybody) History of Rock 'n' Roll Basic Principles of Film Getting Laid 101 (I got an A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 My exams were last week. Modern Analysis: Exam was dumbed down again and again because so many people were doing horribly in this class. An easy A. Probability and Statistics: I attended maybe 25% of the classes, but it was all just applying formulas. Really boring stuff (even for a math major), let me tell ya. Numerical Methods: Exam was optional and I already had an A simply from knowing C++. Mathematical Problem Solving: Partial credit-ho! Weather and Climate: A little Christmas Tree-ing and now my base requirements are fulfilled and I won't have to put up with any more stadium lectures.

DimensionWarped Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you've taken it already, damn... but don't worry about AP Physics. They tend to throw some hard questions at you, but as long as you can get the simple things (like the oh so standard projectile essay question and the similar standard collision essay question), you should pull at least a 3.

1LT Worm Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 AP Physics B or C? Because B is worthless. I learned that the hard way. X_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 If its his first one, you can bet that its B. They don't usually offer Calculus based physics until... well, you know, you've had Calculus. As for how worthless it is, you should never underestimate the value of 4 hours of College credit. More importantly though, its a lot easier to go into Calculus based physics when you have already gone through the non-Calculus based physics.

VectorSatyr Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Had mine already. Now I'm just sitting in class bored until 12:30, when I can go spend my 2 week vacation at home doing nothing. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And finding a school that will give you credit for a 3 might be hard. I got a three on AP Calc AB and Physics B, and I didn't receive credit for either. However, I tested out of my math requirement. But, Physics B didn't get me out of my 100-level science. I did get a 4 on Comp and Lit, so I got 6 credits there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a 4 on Comp and Lit, so I got 6 credits there. Among the schools that offer Calc (mine did), a small fraction of the Calc students take Physics C. Physics C is just a very uncommon class for people to take... and its usually only taken by the very small minority of people who actually go on to AP BC Calculus. Anyway, I got 4 credit hours for 3 in Physics B (Same as a 4, though they offer a tiny amount extra for the 5... they don't usually offer you any useful classes to substitute for it, but you can generally get credit... if you play your cards right), and that was about what I could expect. I didn't need any prerequisites for starting in my second year Physics class, so it all worked out... and it did end up helping. Oh, and I took Physics B at the same time as I took Calc (4 by the way, got a full 8 hours of credit for that one... conveniently the same as a 5 in this case)... so... I had already figured that.

Kain Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I was faster in my math classes than my science classes, so by the time I got to physics, I already had taken Calculus AB, so I took Physics C (but just the Mechanics half). In my school there where a good 17 people in the class with an extra 5 studying the electronics half. Then again in my school there were people who completed Calculus BC in their sophmore year. I would have taken Computer Science AB, but it conflicted. Anyway, I got all 5s (they must have been mighty generous with the Physics one) and got a total of 12 credits.
