I took the second exam for chemistry yesterday, and I’m back in the library 9 AM sharp. Yay, exams.
After the chemistry exam, my friends and I watched the oral biology/histology exams, as they’re open to the public, just to see what to expect. We all expected the histology professor to be a more difficult grader, but it turns out the biology professor is wayyy more strict.
I watched one of my fellow students give the biology oral exam decently well, I’d say answered perfectly for 85% of the exam and stumbled on 2 questions, and the professor gave him a 19/30 (basically a D for my fellow Americans).
Another student had taken the biology exam 3x, received a 19/30 (D) and took home a perfect score, 30/30 on histology, the much harder exam. The histology professor tried to talk to the biology professor to reevaluate her assessment because it seemed like he didn’t believe that a student who scored perfectly on histology would do so poorly on biology, but she said a 19 is a 19.
I had figured biology would be an achievable 30/30, but I guess not.
As for chemistry, I have just the oral exam left, depending on my average score between the two stoichiometry partials. The chemistry professor hasn’t set a date for the oral exam, so I’m trying to decide how to prioritize the upcoming chemistry, mathematics, biology, and histology exams.
Help.
Perks, though. The library I study at is two meters from my apartment and the home of a kitty named Cicio. It’s all very exciting.
