#1What Finals Do You Have?
Posted: 5/5/07 at 1:26pm
Being that I go to an art school, most of my finals are either a project or a paper.
One class' final is a documentary project. I just have to fix the score and the interviews and all shall be well.
Another class' final is a paper on the conservation of Australian rainforest.
And then I have one final on Producing an Independent Film.

Well, I have AP tests in Government, Economics, and Statistics, but my school makes every teacher give a written final as well. So those will be jokes, really.
Other than that, I have to do a practical test in creating a newspaper page on demand (for Journalism), create a 5 minute dance with three different styles that tells a story (for Dance/Choreography), and then your standard Physiology and English finals.

We don't have to take finals if we maintain our grades throughout the second semester (if we don't slack off and cave in to senioritis, basically), but I have six AP exams: Government, Economics, English Lit, Calculus BC, Environmental Science, and Physics B.
Cruel, yours sound like fun!!

Biology: a multiple choice test
Forms: a written test
creating a role: the stalker project. we had to watch someone all semester then deliver a monologue as that person
dance: a self choreographed piece
french: uh...it was written but i slept through it. yay me!
"Interesting choice"

English - the AP Exam. A week after Calculus. Argh.
History - the AP Exam. On Friday. I hate AP classes. (why did I take them? I wonder)
Chemistry - some sort of dastardly test.

AP Exams for US Gov, Stat, and Spanish.
I have to put a scene for my Acting class...which is a pain in the ass because my scene partner and I have not rehearsed, and we can't. o_0 I shall fail. And I have an in class essay for my other college class, and a 6 page paper due...which I am attempting to start.
I'll potentially have finals in the aforementioned AP classes, but I honestly think I won't.

Marlene, doesn't it stink that NYC kids end school a month later than all others, and start at the same time.
The AP is in May because that is around when MOST kids (ie non NYC) end school- it IS their final.

I took 18 credit hours this semester, and two of the classes were graduate courses that I got special permission to take. I thought exams would be awful, but they really weren't bad at all and I came out with a 3.7 GPA.
My classes were
Acting: Voice and Movement
Cultural Anthropology
Ballet I
World Religions
Islam and the Middle East
Theories of Communications

Took the AP Calculus AB test today
Have AP Italian next week
and as far as I know...
Film Lit- multiple choice
Health- some sort of project
Economics- a test AND a project
Senior Chorus- concert in June
Opera Workshop- Perform in "Pirates of Penzance" (Major-General) at the end of the month and in some sort of scenes/arias concert in June.
BroadwayBaby21, what does your Opera Workshop portfolio consist of?
#14re: What Finals Do You Have?
Posted: 5/9/07 at 7:17pmI hate how NYC public schools are scheduled. In theory we do end in mid June before Regents weeks. But truthfully I'm not doing anything anymore but watching movies and crap like that in all my classes except my two college classes...which end next week.

AP Exam in English - possibly followed by a paper on "Othello" (even though I wrote one last semester - I was in 2 different sections of AP English this year, therefore, I read Othello twice.)
A paper on the "Fair-Use Act" for Advanced Journalism (ugh... I'd much rather prefer an article)
Probably a chapter test in Human Anatomy
A demo reel in TV Production
And something for Latin II

I only have 4 real classes and I am most likely exempt from all of them

Baha! It's you! =]
Also, yeah, to be on-topic (but I think I already posted this), I don't have to take finals...unless my teachers decide to punish me grade-wise for these last two weeks of school I've missed. Eh.
