I hate calculus. Especially ridiculously hard and drawn out calculus finals.

I'm glad I'll never have to take calculus. Hardest math class I had to take was statistics, bah.

I have mine on Tuesday... I'm pretty pissed that I got the last slot, on the last day of finals for my calc exam :grumpy:

Pfft, be glad you didn't have to go past Calculus to take Differential Equations, Matrix Algebra, and Linear Systems and Signals. :tantrum:

And now we all hate you (while at the same time wishing we had your brains):tantrum:

I took calculus before.

Of course, I hadn't had Trig yet, so I failed miserably.

On a positive note, I finished the last of my finals today, so I'm DONE for the semester!

Well if it makes you feel any better, today I had my AP English exams. They started at 8:45 with an absolute deadline of 12:00. I finished at 1:00 after having rushed through the last two of four essays :|

Mine was today during one of the lasts slots for finals. It was probably one of the worst tests I've ever taken in my life. All that I can hope for now is that the professor loves to give partial credit (he doesn't). So I basically failed a final that is something like 60% of my grade. So much for the HOPE scholarship.

You live in Georgia? Curse you lieing flags! :p

I've never had any problem with math so far, is Calc the huge jump it's really made out to be?

I don't think so. Its a lot of new stuff, but its not a lot harder or anything.

My flag is a liar...

I didn't think it was a huge jump, its just that the class was so different than it was in high school you know? Its hard to pick everything back up when you only meet three times a week and the concept of "rational explanations" eludes your professor (I'm not your damn grad student). That and the rest of "adjusting" to dorm/college/drun....college life usually gets in the way of calculus (that is, until the last week or so before finals/midterms).

What were the essays about exactly?

So today I found out final grades... I failed Calc. Apparantly I made a like a 40 on my final and something like a 55 in the class. ****.
