Finals Thread

What are you guys procrastinating studying for? How are your grades this semester?

20th Century Europe Final in a few hours, pic related

I should write a papers on Jean froissarts depiction of the battle of Crecy. I think sipping vodka and browsing Veeky Forums is exactly the right way to handle this task

that's an extremely narrow topic to write about

It's only 10 pages so no biggy.
the source we should analyse isn't even the whole part of froissarts chronic about , just one passage .
In my opinion it's not "extremen narrow" but a usefull spezialisation because you gonna work more detailed and.

Writing a research paper on how Japanese foreign policy towards the Western Powers was affected by the Boxer War. It's due at midnight, so I have ~7 hours to write 12 pages.

I wrote an article on the relationship between the Turkestan countries and Russia between the late imperial age and the beginning of Soviet rule.

Yo, I already aced my finals last week

I already failed all my classes of this semester. Good luck, user.

All?How?

Had social psychology and biomedical ethics finals today. They went very well.

I have an Anatomy final on Friday and organic Chem final on Tuesday. This has been a pretty great semester.

Civil law and property law.

I have a storyboard deadline of an animation on the Aztecs coming up. Fug.

International Affairs final tomorrow. Not too worried about it but I should put more time into it than I am. I started studying only 2 hours ago.

gg

I hope you started after you posted

Jaysus m8, god help you

I'm on page 3 right now. 3.5 hours until it's due. Probably not going to make it in time, but I emailed my prof and he's chill if it's a little late.

Got it in a photo finish

>tfw too stupid and lazy to get in to university
>tfw now have to work full time AND get ready to repeat my failed modules.

I am so jealous of unifags on Veeky Forums.

>work full time at 18

>first year invest in stocks

>2nd year after losing all money from stocks buy paintings instead

Just turned in a big paper analyzing the role of Stalinism in the broader context of Marxist ideological history

I'm pretty proud of it

Narrow paper almost universally have the best analysis. This is how the field of history develops.

I'm actually finished, three marks I know as of finals and all A's, A+ in my math (Veeky Forumsfag major).

Go to class and study anons. I'm no genius, but studying helps so much. Find a friend to do it with too. I put in like 8 hours minimum for exams I'm worried about.

Also don't forget study breaks. And start like four days before the exam so you don't get burnt out.

I have to analyze Julius Caesar's Commentarii, write a paper on some famous ceramic industrialist, and prepare a presentation of my thesis.

Meh.

>and prepare a presentation of my thesis
Undergrad thesis? What did you write about?

grades are good, generally 90-95% so far though anticipating a drop. wrote two huge papers on the outcome of the 30 years war and the japanese occupation of burma. both very interesting, but thank god it is over.

currently: on a bender. feels good tbqh.

History MA.

I'm writing about Black Nationalist movements in the US.
Note that people in my country (Hungary) have done virtually no research on in it so far.

Unfortunate. Any specific groups? What's your overarching thesis?

Not sure of it yet, this is only my first semester.
Since no one has done it so far, I would like to write about their overall history, with most focus on the critical 50s-70s period. What I could examine in particular, is the effect of Socialist ideologies on these movements, and how the authorities viewed them.

Wrote a shitty 4 page paper as an all-nighter last week on past and current theories of Proto-Elamite, partially high. Wasn't fun.

What's worse now though is that I need to study for a computer security final later today and an operating systems final Monday. I certainly don't regret majoring in computer science, but goddamn do I wish sometimes I had chosen linguistics or ancient Near Eastern studies instead. It's just far more fun/intuitive to grasp and it's a world of difference between the people you meet in the classics department here and the EECS department. Plus, I know way too many people in the classics department by name lol.
