Where Dani writes about… just about everything!
We studied culture in my Sociology class, which the professor likened to “[trying to] tell a fish about water [because (he)'s so immersed in it, (he) doesn't understand it]“. And I found out that most of the students in my Life Span Growth & Development class failed the first test, which although I passed it I can kind of see why since she made a lot of the multiple choice answers ambiguous. But she gave us credit for the ones that almost everyone in the class missed, which is okay… and then, for some reason, when I look at my Scantron I realize that I was probably the only person in the class that got those questions right. Either I can read information really well, which is kind of true, or I’m just a good guesser… I think that it’s a bit of both. Yay for luck!
My friend and I were talking about professors and their testing methods earlier this morning, and we’re both people that for some reason tend to second-guess more on tests when we’ve attempted to cram in advance; if we browse our books and our notes about a week in advance before we actually take the quizzes or tests, we do much better. I’m glad to know I’m not alone!

It’s been so long since I took a test I can’t remember how I use to do. I know that if I did read anything right before a test its was always the stuff I could not remember (and probably didn’t during the test anyways). Of course those were high school tests. At least you know what you’re reading you’re interpreting well…even if you’re answers were just guesses.
I’m doing about the okay in tests as I used to do in high school, which is just fine by me.
That’s too bad that you got the marks when you got it right, but others got it wrong and still got the marks. I won’t complain though because I’m one who usually gets the wrong answer
Although profs should really make their tests so that the right answer is right and the wrong answers can’t be right, if that makes sense.
And I completely agree with your cramming in advance theory.
Exactly, lol.
so true, but procrastination & studying the night before is much easier lol.
graduated with a soc degree =)
Lol, I know.
And awesome! I’m really starting to love my Sociology class.
