my qualifier exam is in a little less than two weeks. i know it’ll be fine. i just wish i could actually relax enough to sleep!
-
I’m sure you will do fine. I’m convinced being totally nervous/stressed out is a sign you realize you will never know enough and continue to prepare up to the last possible minute. The people I have seen who fail are the people who are over confident. I don’t know how your exam works, but before my oral defense I didn’t sleep, ate a cookie and…[Read more]

thanks :) i definitely agree with that saying “the more you learn the more you realize how little you know” – and that’s part of the reason i love science so much, it’s just a constant stream of learning things that have never been discovered before. it just freaks me out that i’m sleeping 3-4 hours a night now for the fifth day in a row and i…[Read more]

Academics Anonymous: Study Trouble R' Us. 11 years, 7 months agoDoes anyone have a really weird specialism/major/pet subject that is really hard to describe to people, and when you do they look at you really funny? I used to be a musicologist, which was bad enough, but now I’m a politics-in-medieval-liturgy-ist and general manuscript botherer. Or, usually, ‘monks and stuff’. :D

Well, I’m planning to major in English when I go to college later this year. This really isn’t difficult to explain in itself, except for the fact that I have attended a Computer Science Academy for my four years of high school. So, when I tell people what I’m majoring in everyone gives me the same weird look (this includes friends, family, my sc…[Read more]

Not as obscure but mechatronic engineering, I usually get the blank stare and what’s that? … “robots and stuff”

Academics Anonymous: Study Trouble R' Us. 11 years, 7 months agoI’m thinking of doing an Honors project for my Gender and Society class, possibly something related to trans issues, gender expression and culture, something like that. I’m not entirely sure what I’m expected to do, though, and I know it depends on the instructor, but has anyone else ever done a project like that before? Since it’s a sociology…[Read more]

Academics Anonymous: Study Trouble R' Us. 11 years, 8 months agoI.m mega stressed you guys, i’ve lost all will to revise my exams for all next week. (first on monday) i don’t understand how topics be can so interesting right until you actually to know about them! does anyone else find this?
-
What sort of things do you need to revise for ? Is it memorising things? What sort of task do you need to do? Because that is in fact all, just doing it. What helps with me is working for 45 min, and then giving myself a 15 min internet break, both to be timed with my kitchen timer, so I don’t run over time. That way studying stays doable. Try it.…[Read more]
