It was open note/open book. The questions weren't too hard but there were just way too many of them for the amount of time we had. I could have figured them all out perfectly with another hour.

The professor is new - so maybe he just doesn't have a grasp for how long it takes non-physicists to figure this stuff out.

Well, I'd say you could finish the exams very quickly by just knowing how to study for it. There are only a few different types of physics problems. Professors just change stuff around by adding stuff you don't need to know and changing around numbers or adding an extra step.

It's best to do the practice problems (I just looked at the solutions, didn't waste time trying to figure it out). You'll notice that for each exam, there are maybe 20 different types of questions, max. The other practice problems are just repeated with small changes. So just write down each type of problem with the detailed solution and when you see it on the exam, just flip to that and do it again. That's what I did.

After the first exam where I didn't know how to study, I usually was one of the first people done with my exam and still got really high scores.

Oh great - I've been waiting for the little one to wake up from her nap so we can go grocery shopping. I hear her stirring upstairs over the baby monitor now, but the older one (who rarely naps anymore) just fell asleep next to me on the couch.

So on one hand, I got rocked on my math physics test (probably around 50% with generous partial credit) but on the other hand its friday and I'm now on spring break and going to see the 300 tonight. :laugh:

I hear good things about that movie.

P.S. That guy on the Louisville team traveled. Admit it.

I can neither confirm or deny that Edgar Sosa traveled. If anything, it would be a double dribble when it hit off his leg. It wasn't a travel. It was close but no way they make that call with 2 seconds left.

Yay weekend indeed! This is going to be my first entire weekend off in a LONG time. (Like Christmas I think). All that is between me and the weekend is a disgusting foot. I took it out but then had to come over and post. But really I should just do it so I can get out of here. :)
