Is there anything more mind numbing and depressing than revision?

I don't think so, and to make matters worse it's a lovely day outside. sad

It makes me want to just quit the course and go out on an all day drinking session instead.

I found myself that all the subjects i revised for i failed and all the subjects i didnt revise for i passed.

Sweet, delicious irony

mechmoggy
I decided the best bet was to only revise the subjects I don't enjoy, as those are the ones I'll struggle with.

However, on closer inspection, I realised I didn't enjoy any of the classes I took this year. Damn.

Mechmoggy!
Bleh revision, utterly pants. I feel for you, what is the course you're revising for?

PS - Have you always had that happy mondays thing under your lightsaber, or is that new?

mechmoggy
Minxy Minx! I haven't spoken to you in a while, are you still living in Canada?

The Monday's line has always been there. cool

I'm doing a part time MSc in Advanced Manufacturing Systems. And yes, it's as boring as that sounds. sad

What he said.

If it's called "revision," does that mean that you didn't do it right the first time?

mechmoggy
It means I'm revising for a number of exams, i.e. going through loads of work/notes taken throughout the year in an attempt to remember stuff. roll eyes (sarcastic)

ChickinMeat
to go with my other post, i find that if i spend the time to revise, then i seem to try to hard and not take anything in, whilst if i just not revise and go there on the day, my mind feels more fresh and not over-worked due to revision, so i can find the answers easier.

maybe thats just me

Fishy
No thats how life is supposed to be, study you fail do nothing you pass...

At least thats how i get by

mechmoggy
My employer pays for my course, so if I fail I doubt they'll appreciate the fact I just left the exam to chance.

I think I'll be sticking with the more conventional method. yes

Clovie
me hates revisions sad

mechmoggy
My next exam isn't till next Wednesday, so I'll probably do my next revision at the weekend and some Tuesday (got a revision day off work).

But for now.... no more revision! big grin

Lana

Hee hee, in two weeks mine will all be over and I'll be getting ready for a week of drinking red wine in France. stick out tongue

Storm
Tomorrow... French presentation... of about 25 minutes fear

*Hyperventilates.*

mechmoggy
Oui?

Storm
I detest presentations. Revisioning my text can go to hell. I' m tired of it.

mechmoggy
Is it on power point?

I tend to make all my presentations a bit flashy to keep people interested. Lots of colours, pictures and noises...works every time.

messed Yuck....reminding me of my German exams from last year....15 minutes of speaking, an essay, 40 listening questions and about 60 questions based off of readings.....I'm amazed I passed.....

mechmoggy
The only German I know is from porn.

What's strange is that when I was in a meeting recently with a German chap, he took a mobile phone call in German, and I suddenly realised that I was getting horny. embarrasment

ahhh man, my german exam, i got a nice big D for mine, because i did french aswell (why oh why!) so i kept saying french in my german and german in my french.

suprisingly i was the 2nd highest mark for boys in my year for german...

mechmoggy
Booo! I'm stuck in the house all weekend, revising for my last exam on Monday.


How I detest revision with a passion. mad

My teachers would give me a 0 the second i would do that, your lucky that, that is allowed...

And whats wrong with German tests? They are the best, especially when you have to listen. The tests are a lot easier then the Dutch tests we have smile

German is a lot like Dutch and i'm Dutch so German automaticly kicks ass smile One of my easiest classes ever.

mechmoggy
Of course, the content has to have some substance, just pretty pictures and noises wouldn't go down too well. no

But presentations need to be interesting, otherwise you lose peoples attention. I'd say the flashy stuff is more important if I'm doing presentations at work, whereas Uni ones don't need so much.

Fishy
I agree to some extent my teachers however completly disagree, keep it simple.. Just put a picture in there to gather interest but no further information...

Powerpoint presations are supposed to be as boring as possible according to them... Teachers are weird..

Do what you want to do.JM smile

mechmoggy
I'd love to, however I doubt my employer would be happy if I rolled into work and said I'd just quit the very expensive course they've paid for.

Fear not, only one more exam to go then I'm free until October. Yay! big grin
