A big
part of the college expectation is tough finals. In the movies, they portray
them as the breaking point of a class. They lead you to believe that, all the
work you have done up to that very moment doesn’t even matter because if you
fail that final, there is no hope and the teachers seem to show no mercy. This may
be true for some classes in real world; for example, my English final is all of
my collective work and there is not much graded assignments beyond that so if
you don’t hand in, or fail the final you are doomed. But, on the other hand, my
Italian class, the final is only 10% of my grade, so if I fail or don’t even
show up, yes it will affect my grade, but if I did all the work up to then and
got good grades, I have a good chance of still passing.
But it
still kind of a big deal. Even if your grade is at the bottom, you can come
back and get a good average. I’m preparing in the simplest way possible; I’m
studying my butt off!! I don’t want to take any chances with my grade averages
so I am going to be working my best. I have been studying the past week for
each class occasionally but I don’t really focus on one class till the day
before that final. This way I can still sleep on the information but it is
still fresh in my brain from the day before. As said in my previous blog,
revise. If you have a project, look it over several time and have multiple
drafts and feedback so you know what you can work on and know that every
mistake is caught!!
