My first final is gone, done, finished. It was technical writing, rescheduled because the instructor couldn't make it back from Orlando in time to give us a final on Tuesday night. I'm not complaining about that. The final, however, was crazy. Question 1: List three ways to avoid plagiarism. (a) Don't do it, (b) See number a, (c) See number b. Is there anything other than just not plagiarizing? It's not a hard concept. There were some grammar questions that were pretty obvious, I thought. Some weird quotation / paraphrasing things. I finished in about 10 minutes.
I also got my paper and presentation grades. Paper was an A, not bad for an afternoon of writing and another of finding sources to claim for everything I said. The presentation was an A-, but an overall score of 9/10. Those two don't match, in my opinion, but since the grading is only pass / fail, I really don't care. If somehow I fail because of the final I barely tried on, I need everyone to pool their money to bail me out of jail. It'll be justified homocide, but I'll still need bail money. I promise I won't skip out on it.
I downloaded and upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 today. I like most of the changes, and I'm sure I'll get used to the others. The tabbed windows and multiple homepages are nice immediately. I give it a B right now after about an hour of total use.
I'm getting to bed as early as possible tonight to be well rested for my math final. More tomorrow.
