go check out your classes website (if there is one) get the notes from someone, and have a read through of the coursework slowly and you should be able to put together a half decent bit even without having attended the lectures
So get on with it! Not that I can talk, I should be writing an essay now but I've been working on it all day and I'm so bored!!
while this is true, it's dependant on the subject matter too if it's a lecture intensive course like most sciences are, it's not usually a good idea to miss the lectures!
I work better under pressure so shall await the day before all my work is in...
...I haven't really started revising yet.
I should probably do that :chin:.
I'm like that. But I tend to get it the night before. What I churn out is usually pretty good, though, so it doesn't bother me.
This is not the case for exams (or these exams, at least), so I really need to pull my finger out, but there are too many things to help me procrastinate .
I've been revising for two weeks now and will be for another two weeks for TWO exams. Saying that, I'm doing 3rd year finals at Uni. I did revision a few days before when I did my A Levels I think.
You won't be able to do it at Uni guys
I wasn't going to .
And night before revision works infinitely better for people like me who have a really, really bad memory unless it was ages ago or not that long ago. I can't remember what happened on Saturday (except the fact that I was working for 12 hours ;(), but I can remember what happened yesterday (almost to the very last detail, which is scary).
It's silly of me, really, because at least 2 of my exams require me to re-read books. REALLY should get on with doing that...
I mean, there is no way I could even just READ through what I needed to know for ONE of my exams in 24 hours, nevermind know it off by heart.
But no, they aren't small. For the subjects I know I won't pass without revision (History and Philosophy, mainly), I have already done quite a bit of in-class revision. The rest of them I managed to pass (and well) in January without revision (I passed History, technically, but I would like to do a bit better than I did), so I can get away with minimal revision. It's obviously not ADVISED, but yanno. I've done a significant amount of revision in all my subject classes already anyway :yes:.
I don't remember anything that I actually learn in my lectures/seminars which is why I have to work so hard revising at the end of the year :razz: To be fair though, I don't know how any law student that can remember everything we learn and I highly doubt any law student would pass an exam without revising.
I mean, I have at least 75 cases to learn for each exam and when they are all named something like "Mettall and Rohstoff AG v Donaldson Lufkin & Jenerette Inc (1990) 1 QB 391" its really hard to learn them. I'm really struggling to remember just the names! Then you've gotta learn the principle that came out the case, what happened in the case, what the judges said, etc Then we've gotta learn the statutes (the law - they don't fucking provide them in the exams), then learn the general principles, how the law works then somehow apply everything we know to the problem questions.
Help
I do not envy you.
If I didn't have my maths formula booklet in my exam, I doubt I'd pass it as well as I probably will do.
I have a tendency to have brainwaves during exams though, and this is my saving grace. I'll be thinking "fuckhowdoIdothisfuckIdon'trememberanythingfuck", and then about 5 minutes later, it'll come to me, and I'll be like...YES .
That, of course, doesn't always work. I wrote an entire paragraph in my history mock about how Mussolini invaded Cyprus, because I couldn't remember what it actually was. At least Cyprus starts with the same letter as Corfu...
(besides the fat I actually have the exam to do, I dislike exams, lots. but then I suppose everyone does! )
cause its an art course its all practical work apart from the odd essay. no revision needed
ok now i'm gonna wait for you all to kill me
*kills*
