Finals doth come.

And unfortunately, they are all in a row.

On Wednesday of the upcoming week, I have Math 137 (Calculus) at 12:30.

This is truly the beginning of the end. Throughout the year, Calculus has been my worst subject. I’ve gotten low 50s on both of the midterms, and in order to bring my mark out of the conditional zone, I am going to have to get a reasonably mark on this exam. A 66% should do the trick, but I cannot be sure. I’ve received decent marks on assignments thus far, but nothing to write home about.

The point is, the bulk of my mark is riding on the final (which is worth 60% by itself). While it is likely that I will pass, it seems unlikely that I will pass with flying colours.

On Friday, I have CS125 (Java Programming) at 4:00.

For the most part, I have taught myself this course, and am therefore not particularly worried. I may write a practice program the night before. Perhaps something that will perform the Euclidean Algorithm for me (I’ve written it into a program before). This will help me check my answers in Algebra.

On Monday, I have psychology. My concern for it is extremely limited.

On Tuesday, there is philosophy. The midterm for this course was easy. However, that was because the articles she chose to cover are the ones that I had read, and had a great deal of interest in. For the final, the articles are less interesting, and two of the questions are kind of obscure (as in, I don’t know which articles they relate to). The ambiguous nature of her questions makes me hope that not all of them will have to be responded to (perhaps 4 or 5 out of 7 question). However, it is not indicated as such on the exam sheet she provided, so I cannot be sure. I don’t entirely want to risk it, but with time constraints, I may just have to.

On Wednesday is Algebra, the climax of all my endeavors this term. I think that if I study the proofs more, I should be able to do quite well on this exam.

Wish me luck.
