My last day/assessment is on Thursday.

Then I'm free.


My biggest worry of the week will be Wednesday night at 7:45pm though.

Good luck to the rest of you :)

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
I have my final presentation for work on friday, and a report to finish by next thursday.

I have a horrible feeling I'm going to upset a lot of people by pointing out their complete lack of logic, and the lack of a clear path forward due to absence of basic research.

I do hate being the bearer of bad news :(

2 weeks until Equity. Then Ethics, then Employment Law a week later. And International Law to cap it all off a week after that.

Smudge 16 May 2006 11:32

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
I've got exams on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday next week. Thanks to the AUT strike I'm not sure if any are cancelled, the Monday one has been confirmed, but god knows for the other 2.

Ancient History, and no, I didn't quit. I'm in a play with the study group for Ancient History & Greek and Latin Language and Culture :)

Christ that is an absoloutely shit timetable, would have been gutted if that had been mine. I don't think I've ever known anyway to get 2 in 1 day in Cardiff.

I had my first exam yesterday which went surprisingly well, another Saturday, then 30th May, 1st, 6th and 10th of June. Worked out almost perfectly for me.

hook 16 May 2006 14:37

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
one down here aswell.

Relations & Networks of Organisations coming up, Labour & Organisation after that, Company law after that one, then some Accounting and Finance, Capital Budgetting and Strategic Decision Management to round it all up and call it summertime.

Study leave started today for me.
Got modular science exams tomorr - multiple choice so they won't be too hard.
Then I have my GCSEs starting next tuesday and lasting for 2 months or so.

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
My exams finished last Thursday, yet I'm still here in Hell. I'm only a first year, so my exams obviously aren't as important as you guys.

Mine only start tomorrow, finish on the 27th. Should be shitting myself but I feel quite calm at the minute.
Probably have loose bowel movements tomorrow though :(

PS. Does anyone else have all theirs on the mornings this semester?

PPS. I have two on satudays (20th/27th)

Yup :(
Only thing thats really scaring me is English - need A to get into a private school sixth form (as well as A in some other easy subjects)

At the time of doing them they are important and a stepping stone to the next stage.

Good luck to anyone who has any kind of exams :).

They aren't at all.

They're the only national exam(s) that everyone has to take. Your English, Maths and Science are especially important, as are any languages you can stick on your CV.

Which modules? The thing I hated about psychology was that I loved some of the modules (abnormal + social psychology mainly) but some were so goddamn boring (statistics + biological).

My sister's got her psychology too - she did quite well in her statistical and courseworky one, but isn't looking forward to these ones.

Who puts GCSE grades on their CVs unless they're applying to McDonalds or Asda?

Yahwe 16 May 2006 20:03

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
Employers actually expect to see as much of your academic history as possible.

I doubt it's that difficult to work out why ...

Demon Dave 16 May 2006 20:58

I retract my previous statements about GCSE's being useless

Its a shit timetable but Im stuck with it. Im quite pleased its all over friday, better over now than lasting for weeks. Both exams went quite well I think so just two more than three weeks of freedom.

I've got them on mine.

They don't list every single singly, but I do have a summary of what I got.

furball 16 May 2006 23:21

Re: Just 4 more days to go
 
My CV just says:

"Studied at GCSE:
English Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Science, Design & Technology (Electronic Products), Geography, History, Latin, French."

Where I think it might be useful, I note my grades in English/Maths/Science (A/A*, A*, AA). It almost never is though, unless I'm running out of places to work and need a job in retail.

All the graduate jobs I applied to specifically asked for them.

What nonsense. Do you realise how many numpties are given out degrees? Many emloyees want to see a detailed history of your academic achievements, I'd wonder why if they didn't...

Also, extending the 'logic' you presented above, I suppose when a post-doc publishes some new research, this makes all his previous (including that possibly carried out at undergraduate, masters and phd level) useless?

abnormal, social, research methods and physiological. abnormal and social are interesting, yes but i've pretty much missed half the lessons on these 4 units due to well sleeping in lessons, illnesses etc.. so this is more learning the first time than revision :(

Got Criminal Law out of the way today. I might put up some of the questions at some point. It went fairly well, only one really bad question on deception offences.
