Exams, Interviews

This past week we had exams in management accounting, finance, and marketing. In this module, I (and a number of us) felt slightly "disconnected", for lack of a better word. In our previous courses where we've had exams, we've also had assignments that closely resembled exam questions, so that if you understood the assignments, you would have little trouble with the exams. This module, on the other hand, bombarded us with presentation and report assignments that didn't have much to do with preparing for the exams. There were problem sets that somewhat resembled the exam problems, but they weren't to be handed in, and honestly, most people wouldn't have had time to look at them while doing all the assignments and career stuff. As a result, studying for the exams was more difficult than it had been in the previous modules.

We have the coming week off, so many are rejuvenating, many have gone away on trips, and many others have interviews. Making it back to Kingston for on-campus interviews in the middle of the week off isn't very appealing, but we suck it up.
