Me vs. BCOR 1010

So here I am, a survivor of both BCOR 1010 midterms! Horray! After such a grueling time on the frst midterm of the class (the average was 60-70%), I think most of us went in with a hope that this test would be a little easier on the grade. No such luck however as we recieved our 8 page monster in the Coors Events Center last night. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I was totally hit hard when we were asked to prepare a balance sheet and income statement from scratch. Needless to say, it was not an easy first question to open up the book to. Or really an easy question at all.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone actually run out of time on the test? I know I was cutting it close and I take tests quite fast usually.
Despite some serious studying beforehand, I still felt like I didn't know as much for this test as I did for the first one, which is definitely stressful since this one is 25% of our grade instead of the megar 15% of the first one! It seems like the recitation leaders are looking for more examples in our writing than I'm used to, so hopefully I improved in that respect. At least the week was a little less busy without class on Wednesday or recitation tomorrow! :)
I guess the next thing to turn to is our company project due at the end of the semester. I'm giving up some of my lovely free time from canceled recitation to work on it in one of the group rooms that you can reserve in the Koebel building. It's so awesome and way easier than I expected- just check out the library's website HERE and then you select your time slots and click enter! The rooms open during your time slot with your buff card and give you a really good place to do group work. Hope everyone did well on the midterm and enjoy a free hour tomorrow! :)
