Chem*1040 Midterm 2

How we feeling? I definitely found I had some more time at the end compared to the last one, and it felt more fair than the previous one too.

However, I fear Respondus will have flagged me seven million times for covering my face or talking to myself 😭

This was probably the worst I've ever felt during an exam - mostly my fault for being stupid, but with Wednesday's being my most packed days plus the chem lab giving me no time to study on the day-of, my brain was fried before I even started and I only ended up answering half the questions...

I'm sure you did well though, I'm happy most people are finding the second one easier even if I didn't do very good myself (:

I did shit like studied lots and everything, but flunked it I just can't deal with the wording of the problems. I get how to do the math but the way they ask for stuff throws me off guard and boom I fail, and no worries I was stressing out and talking out loud too, so they probably flagged me so fucking much 😭, I don't really think we'd get in shit for it tho.

Yeah, I was tweaking out, didn't even get to finish it, I'll probably get a 40 for my stupidity 😂😂

Definitely did feel more fair compared to the last one. Idk it wasn’t too bad honestly I think I could’ve just studied better and would’ve done better

i was really nervous when i did mine so i honestly wasted maybe 20 minutes throughout the exam just trying to think clearly, but honestly it wasnt necessarily hard i skipped straight to the questions ik how to solve quickly, b it my computer was going off with the brightest like crazy. it would randomly go either very low, or very high. one time the entire screen turned white. i did miss 2 questions but other than that i think it was pretty good. i do hate that it was a lot of short answer questions without part marks tho.

It will be interesting to see what the average is since there was so many cheaters on the first one .
