...word on the take home exam: Don't let the words "take home" lull you into a false confidence. If you procrastinate on this one, you'll be in for a very long and stressful night. None of the answers can be taken straight out of the textbook, and you'll find yourself often making educated guesses. On the plus side, you'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's returned—the grading is fairly easy. Another tip: during the review sessions in May, just put on your best sad puppy dog face and appeal...
...Stein in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and multiply by ten. Just make sure you don't snore (another real-life occurrence). Don’t bother even buying the textbook; you only really need to read the pages on the exam outline, which is given out a week before the exam. But make sure you know the lecture slides cold. Also, try to get a chill section leader—this is critical to your success during the course...
...multiple-choice tests (HA!) that seemed to be part of a large, as yet undisclosed experiment into the induction of anxiety and regret in 18-22 year olds (not so HA!), Jeremy Wolff will request that your mastery of the material be shown on an overdone, quasi-humorous written exam. This is quite the deviation from your original plan of getting an easy A-, course credit, and the ability to mindfuck loved ones into submission. But no sir, psychology is not all about learning how to get your roomie to pick up his damn socks and lulling the quasi...
...plethora of facts about the universe and theoretically a grasp of its origins and our place in it. That is if you actually study—many students scrape by without going to lecture at all, miserably cramming the whole solar system in the night before the exam. For all you Al Gore wannabes, Science A-30, “The Atmosphere” will let you score some actual knowledge about global warming and its even sadder hag of a big sister, the depleting ozone layer. The inconvenient truth about “The Atmosphere,” however...
...Core is often seen as seven obligatory piles of specific, useless knowledge to choke down. Far from expanding their academic horizons, many students trudge through the Core by taking whatever fits their schedule, doing as little work as possible, and adhering to the cram-and-purge school of exam-taking. The Curricular Review promises big changes to all this—eventually.But until that day comes, use the Confi Guide as a primer on using (and abusing?) the Core, especially for incoming freshmen (and you juniors who still have six Cores left to kill).Those of you who wish...
