It's all from the reading.

those tests suck ass, have fun!!

2/13/2006 8:57:21 PM

Hahahaha....worst tests ever.

Just make a decent try at it and you'll get a B+/A- in the class.

hahaha i remember those days, worrying about those quizzes lol, yea but the class sucked though, didnt learn one thing from this class

2/14/2006 11:07:33 AM

lol, didn't do anything, and still got an A- in the class.

2/14/2006 4:26:27 PM

i find it hard to believe that you can just do Nothing and get an A in this class. I am working on the test now and I have no clue what the questions are asking. I even have old exams and its really not helping all that much. What is the secret here? What do you need to do to get an A. Obviously its not to READ because this shit is too complicated and all the sentences are run-on sentences with too many big words.

The deal is that the grade rubric is scaled differently than a normal course. Like a 60 is a C or some shit like that. Don't worry. I never read a damn thing. As long as you do everything (i.e. micro-quizzes, all tests, the dualism shit, and TAKE THE OPTIONAL FINAL) then you will do just fine. I ended up with a B in the course. I got like 50's and 60's on all the exams except for the final (only b/c it is from all the previous tests and you can look up the answers on teh tests before it)

2/14/2006 11:43:31 PM

I know about the grading rubric but i mean, damn..... the tests are not easy

2/15/2006 12:15:53 AM

yea, just make sure you take all the quizzes and exams, and don't second-guess yourself.

2/15/2006 1:08:38 AM

no, the tests weren't easy. I googled the question information as much as I could. The important part was the optional final. 3/4 of the questions were taken directly from the previous tests, so you could go back and pick out the answers from the key for each test. That brought me up a full letter grade.

I just found that comment funny.
I won't say anything about the tests because I didn't think they were that bad.

Im getting ready to start the first exam...i might just have to guess on a lot because I havent done any reading..

2/16/2006 1:05:56 PM

im working on it now....didnt get to look at it last night b.c. of work... this sucks ass...anybody have any old exams? I hate how this is all based on variations in the wording of the questions....grr

I'm gonna be taking this through DE in summer session I...anyone have the old tests?

For those that are in it now, would you mind PMing me about getting them?

For anyone who cares, I've done my share of helping folks on here and it's obviously not against Austin's rules to share old tests.

unless you want a headache and to completely waste your time do not take this class. looking at a wall for hours would be more of a learning experience than taking PHI 340.

3/22/2006 7:33:57 PM

I don't want to learn. I've learned my butt off. I have 3 "free electives" to take in Summer Session 1 in order to get my degree. I'm taking all 3 of those courses for Credit Only. I want courses I can get a "C" or better in so I can go make some money and enjoy my honeymoon in Hawaii

3/22/2006 7:59:34 PM

^
its not hard to get a C so I see your point, but the class is a peice of shit nevertheless.

3/22/2006 11:37:57 PM

bttt for old tests?

3/25/2006 12:06:59 PM

this class sucks...i didnt learn anything from it
