I don’t know what to do. I feel extra horrible that it’s out of my control. I would have studied for this exam (instead of doing essays worth nothing now) from the beginning of the course if I knew it was going to be worth 50%. I already messaged my professor but she’s well-known for being completely apathetic/not accomodating of disabilities, so it went absolutely nowhere in the short email response she sent me. To make things worse, I feel that I can’t study as I normally would because of how this is impacting my mental health. I don’t know what to do. Please help guide me and let me know if there’s any solutions because I don’t think it’s fair what’s happening. I also experienced a death of a family member in the first semester of this class and haven’t been able to focus, so I really don’t feel prepared at all for an exam that might be worth much more than she said. I know this might seem dramatic for some people, but for someone with anxiety and BPD this feels like the end of the world.

people study for exams for more than a couple hours the day before?

I usually do it a couple days before, but yeah, only a few hours to do it

what course is this from?

Not specified

this is just a post on the queens reddit

college isn't a good fit for some people and this person is probably getting a useless degree anyway

If the strike lasts longer than exams, then I will have gotten payed for 75% of the term, but will have avoided probably 75% of the work I was assigned

since I will be missing 2 assignments, 1 midterm, 1 exam, and something like 5x5 1 hour tutorials

college is weird because it's this multi-year thing that you can fuck up at any point and you're lucky if you have profs/family/friends who will help you get back where you want to be afterwards

Though I've always thought test accommodations were kind of stupid

There were countably few tests where I thought time was going to be a factor for anyone, and those were bad tests!

Other end of the spectrum, like 90% of tests are down to the wire, but usually I can get about 50% of it done in the first hour, then the next 2 is jumping between the remaining questions I did not get on my first runthrough

I always use all my time

There's levels to it, but in general I don't think tests that overreward hacky test taking skills are that great

when I'm scanning through and skipping whole sections of problems because the point value for that part isn't worth the time it will take or I'm carrying forward wrong numbers to domonstrate understanding and get points, for cases that are more trivial

it's a bad test imo

I don't do that

I do stop working on a problem if I get stuck for more than 30 seconds though

my EE Power Systems exams were like that

and just move on and come back later

you'd get these disgusting multi-phase generator problems

and you'd pick and choose parts to answer to rack up points quickly

because no one would finish more than 2/3 of the test by the end of the time block

Yeah, I think a fundementally fair test, you should be able to get a 70% if you know the material without tryharding studying

I do think most tests on average are fair tests, but they usually take about exactly as much time as you were provided

My favorite tests are the ones where you literally have the study guide with all answers filled in and the textbook in front of you and still can't understand how the question is meant to be answered

I do not think I have ever done any of those kinds of tests, but thats not really a thing in high level math

at least not the university math I've done

that does sound like ass though

I hate the sneaky number swaps

where a prof will copy a problem he knows everyone's worked almost 1:1

and then change one sign or move one decimal

Just read

yeah that should not be a problem

who the fuck remembers how to solve a problem step by step down to the numbers

I sure don't

it happened enough that I remember it

mostly for derived formulas

back to your copypasta though, idk why but I'm generally sympathetic to people who expend a lot of effort in college even if they're a bit frustrating to talk down off a ledge after a bad test

One guy in a group project said he was basically faking his severe anxiety on test taking to get more time and they would be placed in a separate room, and that most of the time the professor or administrator would leave and he would then cheat. Since then I’ve always hated that.

i never got stressed about a test because i was already too busy being stressed about being near a bunch of people.

never got given a seperate room though...

I like when guys like this attempt to cut the entire case of water bottles

OP should get it published first

no need to cite your own work

if its new

Gay

probably

just want to make fun of the efap adjacent sword guy

The fact that the AI discourse comes in waves is always funny

https://x.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1905141831551361077 to make fun of the other side, the replies to this tweet are funny too

Kill him.

Which one

Shad first, but because the other guy is called tyrone he probably needs to go too

The other guy worked on issac

And?

And nothing, I just "twitter factchecked - the community wants to add additional context"'d you

Yep it’s official, pika went full skizo mode

based

People get so angry about ai

Yes no more ai

Im fine with it in a lot of use cases

Especially in gaming

If I see anything have AI in it I’m not buying it

Boomer take

L take

If people want to use ai to enhance procedural generation or make worlds more varied, go for it

Minecraft procedural generation and it is just fine and has awesome spots, why would I want an ai to do it
