Well...okay

I'm 2 days into finales for this semester.
Monday I had my first final and by 3 hrs after I finished it, I had my grade. 74% or a C on the final and overall course grade of 84% or B. Excellent!
Today I had a second final and by 2 hrs after I finished it, I had my grade. 100% or an A on the final and overall course grade of 90% or A. Double Excellent!
Tomorrow I have my 3rd final. I'm expecting the same grade as I got on today's final. Both classes are taught by the same instructor and I've always done well on the tests in his classes.
Thursday is the final I'm really worried about. It's in the class that I've complained about the instructor for the last 16 weeks. The one I've already left letters with the dean about. Yeah. That one. I've barely eeked by because he “felt sorry” for us and tossed out questions we, as a class, did poorly on. If that has to be done for EVERY TEST that should tell you something about your teaching style and that you need to improve.
Whatever.
I registered for classes...or attempted to register for classes at the other college. All the classes I wanted were only taking for the wait list. The higher on the list (1-10 or so), the better your chances of getting in the class are.
Creative Writing had to be tossed because it conflicted with the 1 class I was able to get wait listed for. The other class, the one I really need, math, I have to speak to a counselor about. SIGHS It's been 5 years since I took math so when I tried to add the class, it said I didn't have the prerequisite or assessment test score. I really don't want to spend the time working my way up and I don't want to have to take the assessment test either. Though, the lesser of the two “evils” would be the take the assessment because it can be done before the semester starts and if I pass, I can (hopefully) be allowed to add the math class while it's still in the top 10 of the wait list. Or even better would be if Cerritos accepts the assessment score and allows me to take the next math that I need to move forward with my degree...
So that's where I'm at.
How is everyone else?

Date: 2013-12-18 05:44 pm (UTC)I'd personally just suck it up and do the assessment test. It would only take an hour or two, right? If that. I think eons ago when I had to do that, I took it on a computer. Do they still do that?
