NEYers in school

LizzyTish88

It's getting to be the end of the semester! This is my last semester so I am beyond excited! With all this school on my mind I figured I'd ask some questions.

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
-What is your favorite course?
-What is your hardest course?
-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
-How much school do you have left after this semester?
-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?


And go!

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
I will be finished at 1pm next Friday

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
Three actual in class finals and no final for English

.-What is your favorite course?
Probably Tax Accounting

-What is your hardest course?
Global Supply Management

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
They're alright. My tax teacher is the biggest nerd ever and makes me giggle

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
I have six classes left; three in the winter, and one or two in the summer/fall

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
Probably not but who knows.

For the record... I'm totally jealous of all of you in school!! I miss those days so much and I wish that I had enjoyed it while I was there...

But I digress... Good Luck to all of you on your finals!!

PaigeMcC

I'm not in school anymore...ZOMG WHAT TO DO!!

GL with finals everyone!

bourgehm

-How much longer do you have left this semester? Next Thursday is my last final.
-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay) They're all sit down tests. However, one of them is mostly an essay test. The rest of them are just usual finals.
-What is your favorite course? My interviewing class. It's super hands on and I like  those kind of courses.
Least favorite: American Indian Studies. It's three hours on a Tuesday night. Which means I miss glee. However, glee hasn't been as great this semester, so I think I'm done with being sad for missing it.
-What is your hardest course? Hmmm... Probably my favorite one. The interviewing one. It's just a lot of work and preperation.
-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why? I like them all. My favorite one this semester is my prof for the interviewing class. I love hearing prof's stories, and she tells us so many.
-How much school do you have left after this semester? I'm a junior, but final semester of my senior year is an internship, so I wont be here. So I graduate spring next school year, but I'll be out of here after fall semester (2011)
-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing? Someday? Not right away. I've heard it's best for social workers to get experience. So, eventually maybe.

GreenPepperBurger

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
One more week!

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
There are hardly any final exams in my school. I have to write a final draft of my short story for Fiction Writing, re-do my video pitch for my Screenwriting class, write a 12-15 paper for my Screening the City (urban studies) course and put together all of my video projects for Screen Toolkit on a website and DVD.

-What is your favorite course?
Screenwriting, because I love the professor and the dynamic of the class. We watched some great films.

-What is your hardest course?
Screening the City, because a lot of the readings are urban studies theory-based, rather than film based.

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
My screenwriting professor (I also had him for my Intro to Film class, as well as another class this semester. I'm taking a directing course with him next semester, and he's also my academic advisor! Phew).

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
One and a half years (the spring semester + next year).

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
Yes. But not right away. Hopefully, I am going to work for a couple of years and save up money (and maybe get married! Tee hee).

If you want, you can write my research paper on social security. You are (still) American, right?

tiffk10

-How much longer do you have left this semester?

I will be done at 7 pm on Thursday (12/16/10)

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)

Just one final this semester. An online, multiple choice test, over a book I have yet to read. Damn you procrastination!

-What is your favorite course?

My field course. Not the actual class part but getting to work out in the field at my internship. 

-What is your hardest course?

Psychoeducational differences. Not the content of the course but being able to stay awake during the class was a nightmare. 

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?

I didn't have my FAVORITE professor this semester .  And the one professor I have this semester that I like I enjoy because she is so flighty and such  a spaz that she isn't rigid on deadlines and when stuff gets turned in. That has been a blessing this semester. 

-How much school do you have left after this semester?

Just one more semester! I graduate in May 2011! Woo!

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?

I'll probably go back for my Ph.D at some point. Right now though, I need a break from classes and would like to work in the field for a while so that I have a better idea of what area I want to focus on when I do eventually go back. 

[Deleted User]

I'm not in school right now. I'm hopefully going back next month. I just went to take a stupid placement test and then came home to find I took the wrong one. I've been out of school for over 3 1/2 years and I just want to go back.

loves2shop4shoes

-How much longer do you have left this semester?

No more classes.  My last exam is on the 21st.

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)

I have 5 finals.  They're all 2-3 hour long.  4 of them are MC plus essay.  1 is all essay.

 -What is your favorite course?

Torts

 -What is your hardest course?

The material that's hardest is Contracts.  The hardest course overall is Property because of how bad the professor is.  She legit shouldn't be certified to teach Kindergarten.

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?

On the whole, yes.  My Torts professor is my favorite.  He explains the concepts well and he's sorta a badass.

-How much school do you have left after this semester?

2.5 more years...joy.

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?


Hell to the No.

What's everyone in school for?

Me? I've changed my mind on what I want to be so many times. For ages I've been sure I would major in English. And then I changed to History. BF wants to be a history teacher and I realized that it would be something I'd enjoy too. Then we could have similar schedules and be home when our future kids are home.

LizzyTish88

Time to answer my own questions!

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
I only go on Tues and Thurs, so Tues is my last day!

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
I did one already, it was a essay and a poster board. I have one letter, one quiz, two essays, and a take-home. All of which I will be doing by Tuesday!

-What is your favorite course?
I would say Health and Healing. I love looking at alternative methods of healing.

-What is your hardest course?
My LGBT class. Some topics are opinionated and there is more history than anything, making it difficult, but I am learning a lot so that it awesome.

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
Yes. I like them all for the most part. My favorite would be my professor for Health and Healing. She is amazing and also the department head so she helps me out a lot.

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
I will be graduating! I have to take an online course the first 3 weeks of January, and then Spanish Monday nights, but I don't have to go back full time ever again!

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
No I think that I am all set with school.

<div>I'm getting my masters in School Counseling. I love it! I'm working in a high school right now and it is so satisfying to know that I picked something right for me. I thought I wanted to be a teacher for a long time, but realized the classroom wasn't for me. Now I get to work in the schools and do something that I like. And no, what school counselors do is NOT what you see on TV or in the movies. I don't give advice or tell students what they should or should not be when they grow up solely based on test scores. </div>

Good for you! I had the worst counselor in HS. She made me feel like I failed at life. I want to teach HS because at that point the students are maturing and might actually take some things to heart that are being taught.

How much longer do you have left this semester?  My last exam is on the 20th, classes finished earlier this week.

How many finals and what are they? I'm only doing three classes this semester, so three.  One is completely multiple choice, one is multiple choice plus short answer, and one is all essays.

What is your favorite course?
One that is essentially Intro to Neuropsychology.  This is even though I hate super-sciencey classes.  My other two are fairly dull.

What is your hardest course?
The neuropsych one has the most information, but one of my other ones is harder to sit through because it's really boring.

Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
Two of the three seem quite nice.  My favourite one is probably my Research Methods prof, because he has this adorable British accent and is quite funny.

How much school do you have left after this semester?
Two and a half years. *sigh*

Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
Yeah, I'll be heading back for a year of teacher's college once I'm done. I've decided to bite the bullet and become a teacher, even though its supposedly kind of hard to find a teaching job now.  I want to be a high school history teacher when all is said and done.  Of course, I might change my mind again before I graduate.

I'm currently a psychology major and minoring in history, but I'm going to change them at the end of the year.  My psych classes are interesting, but they're hard and just not something I can truly see myself doing for the next thirty years.  If I stick through my classes next semester, I'll have all the required courses for my minor and only be one full year/two semester-long courses behind for my degree, since I got a transfer credit from my IB history in high school.

I'm in Honours Spec. Poli Sci with a minor in French (and I want to go to law school...)

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
I'm finishing up my LAST essay today, and then I have a midterm next Thursday.

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
One, but no finals, because my classes are all full year (weird, I know.) Just one that's an essay exam for my class on International Human Rights.

-What is your favorite course?
hmm... I love Contemporary Political Theory.

-What is your hardest course?
French? I think it's because I'm losing interest.

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
My Poli Theoery professor reminds me of Paddington Bear! I love that. I also love my Human Rights prof because he's so young and excited about it.

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
I'll finish the next semester, then one year of undergrad. If I go to law school then that's another 3 years of school, plus articling.

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
Yepp. Well, hopefully law school. But I'm considering my Master's as well.

Social Security by LyzMcFlyz

It comes from the latin for Security for the Socials!! and Security Guards suck! Hallelujah, Holy Sh*t!!  Where's the aspirin??

Every paper I ever wrote was, at the inception, written something like this... Silly and totally unrelated...  until I had procrastinated so much that I would have no choice but to get serious!  Like I said... I miss those days!

HeartOverMind

-How much longer do you have left this semester? I'm done with all my academic classes as of last night (yay!), but I still need two more visits to the fitness center to get my A for fitness!
-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay) I only had two finals. English: essay,  Music: sit-down, in class test
-What is your favorite course? Music
-What is your hardest course? English
-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why? I liked my Music teacher. He was a nerd and I like that.
-How much school do you have left after this semester? Ugh, two years?? I'm depressed just thinking about it. Then, I'm getting my Master's so...three or four more years. I'm just going with the flow right now. I'll be done when I'm done!!!
-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing? Yes, as stated above...I'm going for my Masters!! I'm really excited about that.

ravenray

How much longer do you have left this semester?

Just one more week...

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)

I technically have 5 but one is just a food day so that doesn't count. The rest are all sit down/essay style.  However I don't have any cumulative finals which is super nice

-What is your favorite course?

Probably my Adv. Argument class and psychology.

-What is your hardest course?

It a tie between statistics and Adv. Argument. (I suck at math)

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?

Yes.  I really like most of my teachers.  Once again a tie between my two favorite classes. I like my pscy teacher because she is nice and we talk about life.  I like my English teacher because she is a hard ass but I am learning a lot

-How much school do you have left after this semester?

Well.... Technically I am a "freshman." (I know lame!)  But I have been taking college classes since high school.  And I took a gap semester.  Hence why I am late.  So 3 and a half more years... maybe a little less.  I am not in any hurry to get out of school.

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?

I never thought I would.  But now I am considering getting a masters.

motoLyn

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
*semester ends today!

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
*No finals I was done with taking classes Spring of 2010. I just have to finish up my graduate project and paper.

-What is your favorite course?
*My favorite course was environmental toxicology.

-What is your hardest course?
*Climate change via transoceanic currents

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
*I didn't have a favorite really, there was one prof that made the class more interactive which kept me busy and active. All the others were nice.

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
*I was suppose to be done this semester, unfortunately my graduate project has a mind of its own and so I had to change graduation date to Spring semester of next year.

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
*NOPE, I really do not want to pursue my PhD.  For those of you who are kudos to you, when I was an undergrad I thought I wanted to.  But I'm not cut out for it.  Well not right now.  The field I work in does just fine with a Masters degree. 

deburnin

How much longer do you have left this semester?

I took my last class ever on Wednesday! wOOt!

How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)

Zero. We have/had huge final projects instead.

What is your favorite course?

This semester? I don't have one. They were just required classes for my public library certification.

What is your hardest course?

Humanities. It's not that the subject is difficult. It's that the professor is an idiot. He never spell checks anything. He never actually taught the class. He made us do group presentations ever week so he wouldn't have to.

Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?

I love my collection development professor. She tried to make the class interesting and she's just awesome.

How much school do you have left after this semester?

Nothing! I'm free! Although I kind of wish I had more school because there are no jobs in my field to be had at all...

Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?

Hell no. I have enough debt thanks to higher education.

jemmini6

Wow, this makes me realize how much I don't miss being in school.  LOL.  I always hated finals

StarGazingHiker

I'm going to school for my Masters in School Psychology... I used to be a teacher and thought about going back to school to become a clinical psychologist, but I realized that I loved working in the schools so I tried to figure out how to combine the two and I came up with School Psych. Now I get to work with all the kiddos I want and help determine what services the kiddos need...


How much longer do you have left this semester?

My semester is done next Thursday!!

How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)

I have 2 presentations and a final.

What is your favorite course?

I've loved my child development; abnormal psych and counseling models and theories class.

What is your hardest course?

Statistics and abnormal psych. Statistics because the professor doesn't always explain the info clearly and abnormal psych because there is so much info to remember!

Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?

I loved my counseling professor... she was wonderful and really brought her experience from working in a clinical setting into class.

How much school do you have left after this semester?

I still have 3 semesters and 1 year of internship.

Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?

Probably... I really want to go back and get my PsyD in clinical psych, but I want to work in the schools for a while before doing that...

LizzyTish88

SGH- I took abnormal psych too and I loved it!

bethsmiles

-How much longer do you have left this semester?
I have one week left but my finals weeks are always a breeze because most of my classes are already done because we do presentations instead of tests so I just have to sit there and watch other people do their presentations.
-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
One multiple choice test online
Two presentations
Two group tests
-What is your favorite course?
Communication Theory
-What is your hardest course?
Hmmm...probably Communication Theory
-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
I like some of them but hate others. My favorites are Dr. Lollar and Steve (his last name is really hard to pronounce so we just call him Steve) pretty much because they are awesome. Lollar pretends to be a hard-ass but she is super sweet and Steve is just super awesome.
-How much school do you have left after this semester?
3 more semesters...ugh
-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
I don't know if I'm going to do graduate school or not, but I probably will. Right now I'm working on my undergrad for Communications and Anthropology

-How much school do you have left after this semester? 2-ish years

jacquiroxx

I'm finished on Thursday at 3pm

-How many finals and what are they? (Take-home, sit down, essay)
I have 4 left... all are sit down AND cumulative.  Shootmeintheface.

-What is your favorite course?
Parent Education & Child Guidance.  I love ANYTHING to do with child development and teaching parents to be better parents...

-What is your hardest course?
Housing & Consumer Economics.  It's all taxes, insurance, mortgages, etc. = stuff I hate

-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why?
I like all but two.  My parent education teacher is the best, because she's a TA and really makes things relateable to the students in the class.  She makes it relevant.  And she watches a lot of reality TV, a girl after my own heart.

-How much school do you have left after this semester?
I have ONE semester left of in-class classes (I'm taking 19 hours though and working full-time AND helping to plan my BFF's wedding, so I'm gonna be SO tired...)  Next autumn I'll take one online class and do a 9-hour internship in PA or NJ

-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing?
Definitely not.  At least not for a couple years.  I've transferred colleges FIVE times and I'm so very very over school right now.  I should have graduated in spring 2009.  So no.  No more school for a very long time.

Sosteadilygo

I have my B.A. in Psychology, but I am going back to get a certification in Human Resources.

-What is your favorite course? HR and the Law. It is so interesting, I love it!
-What is your hardest course? Benefits and Compensation
-Do you like your professors? Which one is your favorite and why? Yes I like them, but my HR and Law professor is AWESOME. You know he is there to help you learn and doesn't just throw material at you.
-How much school do you have left after this semester? I will be finished with the certificate program in March!
-Are you going to go back once your done with your degree that you are currently pursuing? Either not at all or not for a while, after this I should be able to land a good job in HR.

hollyb78

I'm in a Radiography program that's associated with a local hospital, so we don't run on a schedule like most normal colleges. We go by quarters, not semesters. It's a two year program, and I'm almost halfway through Quarter 7 of 8. We actually have midterms this week. I have two classes this quarter, Quality Management and Cross-sectional Anatomy, and the rest of my time is spent in clinicals. I graduate May 13 and I'm so ready!

MK1211
