tests

The summer is almost here and I can not wiat. These last two weeks since break have been quite a challenge with physics test fri and then for me 2 engineering tests and a chemistry test. Yesterday, I spent 5 hrs doing my airs assignmnet for chemistry, only to realize that the reason why I was having difficulty is because information was actually missing from the problem statement. But, what I didn't realize was that you had to look that information, the Ka or Kb values up in the chemistry textbook. When I found this out I couldn't decided if I was furiated with myself for being so stupid, or if I was just relieved that after 6-7 hours I was finally able to get a hundred on the assignment. I don't even know how the aris assignments plays into my grade. They are not on the gradebook for that class, but I'm hoping they will get added on at the end and that it those hours yesterday were not a complete waste of time. The homework for the class is worth 10%, and the actual homeworks for my chemistry class can be quite challenging at times because my professor's goal in life is to trick us. He says he's preparing us for mcats, but I what I want to know is why I'm preparing for mcats in this class when I don't plan on even taking them. Thats the one downside about professor Trivedi. I love his teaching style, but I wish he would stop being so tricky, in hopes to prepare people for mcats when less than half the class would be taking them. Right now, I don't even need the second half of chemistry, the class I am in now, for my major. I only took it because I might have done biosystems engineering. But, now that I'm not, I really don't know why I'm still in it. I enjoy the class and understand the material, but even if you understand the material chances are your going to fall for a few of trivedi's traps, and thats what your graded on. I hate tests. I'm such a bad test taker, I always fall for the tricks. I would much much much rather just do some huge project of 20page paper than study for a test. Becuase when you write a paper or do a project there are no tarps that you can fall into.
