Final exams
Apr. 12th, 2009 09:50 pmWell, final exams are upon me again, and this time I have two, one this Thursday (the 16th) for statistics and the other one next Monday (the 20th) for calculus.
This is my second run through Calculus II, as last time I failed, and as this is a course I need for many upper-division courses, I can only afford to fail it one more time.
I'm actually rather nervous about this one, as I failed rather royally the first time (half due to not fully understanding the earlier stuff, which was a basis for what came after, and half due to the instructor's accent, which I finally understood halfway through the course, which explains the first part).
I know I'll do better, but I still have this nagging doubt at the back of my mind, as well as only getting about 50% on both midterms, even though that was primarily due to not having enough time to complete them.
Anybody have some words of encouragement or study tips that don't include doing all the problems in the textbook?
