Check your schedule CAREFULLY

Mr. Kassam said...

I believe they revised the exam schedule...


Your exam is on Tuesday, people. I just like making you all panic for no reason. It's my little goodbye gift to you all :)

oh one more things when you mean Chp 2 to end of the course ! that literally righ? The last unit we did on pollutants and stuff mr.Kassam I really don't understand the concept of it. I was wondering if you had our mulitple choice tests if it possible can u scan them and put it on ur BLOGs or upload them at imageshack so we can study from the scans. I totally forgot to ask that last week.

i rather have a gift of love and friendship :'(

Mr. Kassam said...

wait, wait...Because you don't have your own tests, you want me to scan them and then post them up on imageshack? I think the studying has gone to your brain.

Haha that wasn't funny...actually it probably would have been if I was on the other side of it.

Mr. Kassam said...

Exactly. I found that comment hilarious until I realized that there was a distinct possibility that one of you might actually show up Monday at 9 A.M. panicking like Panicky Idiot #2 from The Simpsons, and I'd get into trouble. So I felt bad about that.

Exam hint: It is written on paper.

If you've studied the right stuff in the textbook, you know what that means by now.

how much are the ISU and exam worth as % of the final mark?

Brace-Face said...

I literally had a (stacey-like)freak out for a minute when I read your second comment cuz that would've meant I just missed my exam!...lol oh and thank you for your "gift" Mr. Kassam.

- I was just wondering if you could give us any hints for writing the essay or suggestions of specific things to read up on in preparation. I understand the essay part is worth quite a bit of marks, so I'd like to be as prepared as possible.

-Oh and do you have any suggestions of things we should and should not do for the essay ( or any other part of the exam) based on what you've found from marking the philosophy exams.

wow im really slow i actually have dwelled on this for a while and no i still dont get what you mean. I;m such a failure in life.

Mr. Kassam said...

ISU + Exam = 30% of mark.

As far as essay suggestions - Stick to your damn theses, people. Telling me that you're going to speak of, say, famine in Eritrea, and then writing about how the man is keeping you down is both confusing and painful (As well as hilarious) to read.

If you're going to write an essay and not fail the exam, keep it simple for God's sake. Now, I can't tell you what the essay is on, because I already have (If you were present and listening in the last week of classes when we did review, I believe I accidentally let slip one essay question. If you were taking notes, you're set. If you weren't, or weren't there, you're screwed.)

You'll all do fine, but you must stop studying now. I assure you, you can't learn anything new. Go, enjoy the evening, relax, and unload your brains tomorrow as your high school career officially comes to an end with this exam. Take a deep breath.

You made it.
