It's not a hard class at all, and we never get homework unless we have to prepare for a debate. I just...don't understand the point of it.

The concept of the class sounds interesting to me, but I wouldn't want to put myself through IB. My school didn't offer it anyway, so it's moot.

I've always liked both a lot, nia. I always try to sing along to one character's part, usually Florence.

If I could sing, I think I would do that too.
Speaking of homework, I'm half-done with biology and we don't have much more work. I don't have to go in early anymore and the only thing we have left to do is the Drosophila lab. Score.
And this time a month from now, I will be in New York.

I think it could be really good if my teachers knew what they were doing.
I kind of wish I hadn't taken it too, but there are no more AP classes at my school.

I find it really sadly surprisingly that so many people in IB say their teachers have no idea what they're doing, especially since they need qualification, I take it.

re: The AP Bio test. It was so much easier than I thought it would be. The second half of the mc were super easy, and the first half were not too bad, although I left a few blank and definitely didn't know some of them. The essays were not as bad as I thought they would be, even though I didn't know much about the last one at all. I wrote about 1.5 pages for each. Did you notice there was nothing, I mean NOTHING, on photosynthesis or respiration, animal development, and lots of other things? Everything was really general.

Ha, that last question... well, we can't discuss it but I agree. I think I wrote about five sentences.

They give you far more space than you'll ever realistically need. It's that way on the majority of those exams. Sometimes, the answer only needs like a paragraph.

The rubrics are sometimes scary, though. Like, they sometimes expect things I would *never* think of.

Ultra-banal: I've bitten my nails so much lately that if I bite them anymore, I fear gushing blood. Argh.*slams head into desk*
I have noooo idea how to study for this exam, and I would kind of enjoy strangling someone right about now, for which I kind of hate myself, because I don't generally have such an issue with anger and all that.
Forgive my occasional dose of angst.

I hope that you all fared better on your AP bio exams than I did on my genetics final. Eek.
#4238
Posted: 5/8/06 at 5:37pm
What exactly does a genetics final entail?
Ouch, Em, that sounds painful. I've stopped biting my nails since I painted them, but I did slip once and bite them.

I've tried to stop so many times; I can for a fairly extended period of time, but then I inevitably start again.

I don't bite my nails often, but I guess I do it occasionally because I always notice when I paint them.
It was a 50-question multiple choice test with a lot of in-depth, tricky questions on everything from genetic probabilities to cell reproductive machinery to genetic engineering. A lot of it focused on minute details/specific proteins in transcription and translation. I don't have my grade yet, but fortunately it only counts if it's higher than one of my other test grades. Which... I'm not sure it will be, although I was hoping to drop my lowest one.

I just discovered that the post block feature stopped working. meh. Upon realizing that yesterday, I was seeing posts by someone I thought I blocked months ago, I decided to look in my settings, and lo and behold, the blocks were erased. So I just tested it, and I could still see posts by people I had blocked.

Wow, ss, that sounds a lot like what I spent hours studying for for AP bio, NONE of which was actually on the exam.

My social psych exam went very well. I almost felt like it was too easy, so I went back and looked over the questions all again, but it was so straight forward that there's not really any way I could have misinterpreted it or something. The only part I screwed up on was the questions on postive/negative reinforcement and punishment. I just blanked on the difference between negative reinforcement and positive punishment, so I might have messed up those 2 questions.

I remember making little charts last year for (+) Punishment, (+) Reinforcement, (-) Punishment, and (-) Reinforcement - and I was still thrown off by it.

It comes up in pratically every psych class I've had, so I do know it. My instructor last semester gave us really good examples of the differences that I usually use as a guideline, but I just couldn't remember it today.
Positive reinforcement: candy
Negative reinforcement: Tylenol when you have a headache
Positive punishment: getting punched
Negative punishment: no dessert
Hopefully the 2 wrong answers I put will turn out to be a positive punishment, so chances of me forgetting it in the future are lessened.
