It's May. Do you know where your next final is?

By now as a Planet College veteran you are aware of some of the quirks of student life. One on- going quirk is the location of the finals for your classes. Finals for many courses are not actually examinations. Often they are monologues, recitals, demonstration or the presentation of a group project. Still many courses have traditional finals. Finals for many classes are often not held in the same classroom location where the lectures, demonstrations or labs have occurred. Commonly for example, finals for many general education or lower division courses are held in large lecture halls or campus auditoriums. Some finals may be held in alternate locations not on campus. One one campus, for example, the final for an upper division Creative Writing course is held in a local Mexican Restaurant. The reason is the professor likes the guacamole. Your campus, too, has a variety of venues for the administration of finals. Right now it is important to make sure you know where the final for each of your classes will be held. Check the syllabus, check with the TA or instructor. Check everywhere you can. You wouldn't want to miss your final.

Planet College final exam review.

Some instructors may hold a review session for a major test. Usually this review is the last class session before an important examination. Often, at least, an instructor will simply hand out a list of subjects to be covered on an important test. Some instructors may even distribute a series of actual questions which may be on the test. This is why it is so important to never miss a class session and keep track of every handout for the course. If the instructor offers nothing in the way of preparation try this. Review any previous tests in this course. Then, based on this, write out possible questions and their complete answers. Preparing your own examination for the final is often an effective review tactic for most course finals.
