Complain about finals - Spring 2011 edition

[All_That_Chaz]

Do all you whining here.

I have 3 finals. Number Theory this Monday, Proofs on Tuesday, and Differential Equations on Wednesday. Number Theory will probably be difficult but I'll wreck it with a modicum of studying. Proofs won't be as hard but it's more difficult to prepare for since I don't have a good idea of what's going to be on the test. Differential equations will again be easy once I devote a little time to studying. My fourth class, my teaching practicum class, does not have a final.

5/9 - Number Theory - 2pm
5/10 - Proofs - 2pm
5/11 - Diff EQ - 9am

Since I have A's in all of my classes, it's made this finals week much less stressful. I'm not depending on a good final grade to get a decent grade for the course. I should do this every semester. If only I didn't wait until after 7 years of college to figure it out.

two 8 AM finals

i don't even have any am classes this quarter D:

[GG_Guru]

I have 2 finals to take, 1 final coming up on thursday, 3 concert reports to complete, 1 composer project, and a 2 page essay that is still due before the end of May 6.

4.0 GPA, whats up?

[lumphoboextreme]

2 finals, one tomorrow and one friday. the one friday is gonna bend me over and give it to me.

[Izzy]

10 page paper on intellectual property protection for software
Stock controller program
Appreciation of architecture final (lol)
Biology final

The architecture thing is actually kind of annoying because its just a bunch of random buildings and architects I can't remember for the life of me.

[GG_Guru]

Just like, wanted to know if its just me or not but am I the only dude who's going to procrastinate this shit? lol

[icontrolyourworld]

can't wait to get mine done

Holy shit dude, 2000 words? lol...

You're ****ed.

[All_That_Chaz]

I have a paper due at 4:20 and I haven't started it. I'm so responsible.

not sure if thats serious or not ha 2k is pretty upper moderate length. worst i've ever written was 5k that was hell.

Already done with the semester. No official finals, but I had projects for every class plus my semester's portfolio and sketchbook. I'm expecting A's and B's.

This is my only full week of Summer though, I've got one class and it starts next Monday :[... Not bad, but still.

[MrGiggles]

oh man this totally slipped my mind and when i remembered i got all bummed out

I have to make a game in Unity from scratch, and I have 3 weeks to do it. I had to make a design doc, prototype, and the first milestone is due tomorrow. I've never made a 3d game before

at least it gives me an excuse to **** about with the raw meat tool in maya again

[GG_Guru]

Honestly, I'd rather just chill for a whole semester and sit back at my rents for a couple of months until I quit this job, but the loan's got me flaky. I really see no solace in obligation. Grab me a beer or something lol.

- Just completed my 8,000 word senior project/paper entitled "An Analysis of Stabilizing 3U CubeSats Using Gravity Gradient Techniques and a Low Power Reaction Wheel."

Here's the abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to determine the feasibility of gravity gradient stabilizing a 3U CubeSat and then using a miniature reaction wheel to further increase stability characteristics. This paper also serves as a guide to understanding and utilizing quaternions in attitude control analysis. The analytical results show that with 33 centimeter booms and 400 gram tip masses, a 3U CubeSat will experience a maximum of 6 degrees of angular displacement in yaw and pitch, with nadir seeing less than .5 degrees of angular displacement. A .120 kilogram miniature reaction wheel developed by Sinclair Interplanetary was introduced into the analysis to understand how it affected stability. Spinning at 3410 RPM and using 160 milli-Watts of power, the wheel was placed so that it spun around the direction of the velocity vector. The results showed that a 3U CubeSat will experience less than .05 degrees of angular displacement in all body axes over many orbital periods.

- Spacecraft design presentation at Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems on Friday, May 6th.

- Eight hour spacecraft design symposium on May 20th to showcase my class's final design to industry peeps, etc.

- One final in my Remote Sensing class on June 10th. (Last ****ing day of finals week from 4-7 PM, ****ing GAY.)

- Graduate with BS in Astronautical Engineering June 11th pce

Took my easy as piss sociology 101 final on Monday
no final in Visual Basic, especially cuz I got a solid A in that class
Got a B on my final 10 page paper on technology piracy in English Comp 2
Calculus 2 final on Thursday, yikes.

Being a freshman is pretty easy I guess

[smartdude1212]

I'm already done my finals and I have my marks, but here's how it went:

April 13th: Latin II - the final was a breeze
April 18th: Calculus II - also a breeze
April 25th, morning: Ancient Greek & Roman History - a lot of writing, but the final wasn't too bad
April 25th, afternoon: Statistics - the calculations were absolute hell (what is the point of making me manually calculate the standard deviation of 27 values when you could test my knowledge on that particular subject with a significantly smaller set of data) but I still ****ed that bitch up
April 26th: Linear Algebra I - simple final and I ended with 100 in the class

The worst part about my final schedule was that week long break, only to face 3 finals in 2 days. I could have nicely split up the time but instead I chose to procrastinate because I didn't feel like studying, or I was studying in between shifts at work.

So glad I have 4 months to piss away now.

Average this semester: 93

Best of luck to everyone who still has to write their finals.

8k words waaaat. that's intense.

[foilman8805]

It's a lot easier to write 8,000 words when it's not a requirement. 8K was just what it took for me to explain the things I needed to in my paper.

[dag12]

8k words is like what, 27-30 pages without figures (double spaced)? It actually seems on the shorter side, at least for what people at my school submit for their theses...
