My crazy exam time

Some of us may have forgotten how such an examination period looks - yes, I admit ... I also forgot. 😀




My first studies at the university I graduated in 2011 and immediately afterwards I started to work as a librarian. In September last year, I came back to school. And if I thought that during the course do not have anything on time, an examination clearly showed me what it means to have no time.😆 After Christmas, the teacher gave us time to relax for a week, so my first test start until the second week of January.

To make matters worse, called me a company that we have to redo a bathroom to be wheelchair accessible (because I'm in a wheelchair I need a shower instead of baths), they will arrive on January 9 to start demolition work. 😯 ... That's a pretty beginning ...

In the Monday, January 9th that artisans were already in 7.30h. and I was the sounds of hammers and jackhammers repeated at the first exam - Prehistory, I wrote the following day. On Tuesday I went to the exam - I done it 😉 Wednesday hurray last lesson - incidentally caught me head of the department, whether they come by with him after the lesson for consultation on my essay (about 😛 maybe next time). Thursday and Friday + weekend are free days. These days, perhaps to myself cram Latin and auxiliary historical sciences - tests on Monday and Tuesday (16 and 17 January).

On Thursday, I decided that to school on those two tests can not, because we have no access to water (do we have but very limited) and dirty into the school's aim is not, not really. 😖 admit that there were other reasons - try to go out on the electric wheelchair when not cleaned snow from roads (let alone sidewalks). Plunging the front wheels in the snow and rake and rake ... 😁 So it's decided - examination of Latin and Auxiliary Historical Sciences (no one tells them otherwise than PVH) are moved to the next possible date (the first Monday, the 23rd and Tuesday 24st January). I do not know if I should rejoice or of being nervous.

On Sunday (January 15st) at 8.00h. I am writing colleague from work I wonder if I have done the research on it today I surrender to her on Monday to send a student ... I am sitting behind my laptop as a search transfixed ... what !? 😱 💥I looked to work on mail messages ... and damm... this a research, I completely bricked. Well no, I'm going to work hard. So the search, which got an average time of 14 days, so I soften for 2h. (😛 my new record) and sent a colleague. UF.

Craftsmen successfully work on our bathroom and I on January 17 on Tuesday heard from the university website that 20 January am writing in Psychology 😯 Help! They are not climbing psychological babble my head. 😦

20. 1. there is a five-hour marathon begins. The test starts at 10.00h. They'll write three groups together in a huge aule.Vyučující lost more than 30 minutes. later (our n Ervy probably soon burst 😤) should be three types of tests (for 3 groups). For our group of professor found that the questions are too difficult for us, so we invented another. After the test, JME, some of us went straight to the oral exam (even me). There he tried three at once - awesome 😀Měli we describe a film selected from a psychological point of view (I had the King's speech). Only when we climbed out of the office, we have the courage to look at the price ... We are all for 1 😲 (I had to go there again - I did not believe).

Next weekend the 12th 1 to 22 first) I repeat Latin and PVH. It is quiet here - the weekend there are craftsmen - Everybody, so with gusto. At my university portal and added another test on Wednesday, the 25th of the first introduction to the history ... 3 exams just like after another - it will mazec.😳

Monday (23. 1.) I am coming to the exam from Latin. During the semester, I went to the school building to the back door, but due to falling ice from the roof of the entrance was closed, so you must use the CLIMBER and then the elevator ... I'm super test of nerves and yet this is it ... the exam I lost about 10 minutes later - everyone already written ... naosání After the test, I just waited for the results - I got it! 😀 (although my ears are sore, but I got it). Throughout the afternoon until evening I repeated PVH.

Tuesday (24. 1.) Check to school is repeated in the same spirit as Monday and I grow 😒 - I'll be late again. Fortunately, the head of the department delayed 30 min., So everything was cool. However, the test was absolutely KO. There also gave information about which lectures talked about just as marginal and therefore irrelevant. 😵 practical part of the test, I managed to (find a publisher and recipient lists, and place and date of writing papers), so maybe ... I waited for the outcome ... She did. 😭 The correction test going seventh second

After returning from a failed exam, I decided to test others moved to February - I got scared that they will not do further tests.

Artisans their work, and we finished it with her grandmother have a beautiful bathroom. 😊

Immediately 1. 2. (Wednesday) I went for a test of an introduction to the culture. It was an oral exam. I had to pull two questions: 1. Bronze 2. Life and Aztecs. The Aztecs gave me a hard time, but I finally did it. 😀

next day I went to another oral test and an introduction to the history. There it was pretty good. Rather it was a practical knowledge - how to write a term paper or Bachelors what I read historical works, etc. ...

It's the weekend and on Monday and Tuesday are waiting for me the last two tests - a German and feared PVH. So the usual procedure - earbuds and learn.

Tuesday (6. 2.) exam in German. I made an oral examination (due to my handicap pommaleji writing, so it's better for me oral examination). I arrived at the Department of German (problems with stair climbing slowly surely getting used 😛). Professor anywhere yet. 😎 should be noted that many people in our year German at primary school or secondary school had, plus us on this subject made by the faculty wrong schedule, so we were enrolled in distance learning and had two lectures per semester, and otherwise it was up to us (I mean self-study at home) and professor 😐 already arrived (he and 30 to 35 years old and is very hyperactive little man 😀). Vlítnul into his office with the words "I prepare something for you." Then vykouknul the door kacelář about 3 more times - each time with dopňující question. When he probably decided that he is ready, he invited me in. It looks more like a cozy lounge area than kacelář department head. He gave me a place at the table across from each other and sat in a chair (he was wearing a black T-shirt with a picture of the tram and the inscription "is riding on best black" 😂😝) ... I am not on trial? The professor opened the textbook began looking for a suitable exercise would test started (he was not ready! 😁). After what I have fulfilled my workout chose 3 further. Then he told me that I did the exam and enrolled me in the index. It took less than 10 min.😎 After returning from school to repeat PVH tomorrow's exam. I get it into the heads do not lie at all. 😟

Wednesday (7. 2.) before me correction test of PVH. The theoretical part perhaps mastered, but the practical part is perhaps even worse than the last. 😵

Eventually I did PVH (thanks to that list), 😭 so this course I will have to re-enroll next year (at least with versely the papers and nothing surprised me anymore).

Although I have a test done, incredibly relieved I am - I have collected the required number of credits and can advance to the next semester. 😉 Now I have a week off before we start the summer semester.

How write great essay or seminar work

Now you might say that I am probably totally crazy - to school we go just a little over a week (study on university has not even started yet) and I'm babbling about essay or seminar work . :-) No, I am not mad. :-D Lot of people on their blogs wrote the article "Back to school" where they found many interesting ideas how to facilitate learning (and a few harvest also practicing). I'd like you to help them prepare to write the above works. Sooner rather than later-on. :-)

I do not write to you are precise instructions what to such work include: - each of them has its own specifics (otherwise it will look long homework geography and other term paper on the economy), but the basis of each work are in my four building blocks:

1) Topic - unfortunately sometimes we subject themselves choose not. :-(
2) At least marginal knowledge of the chosen topic of the thesis - read the passage from a textbook. :-)
3) Plenty of time to prepare - some of us write the work at the last minute. :-D
4) The resources available on the topic - relevant literature, Internet resources, or media :-)

If you do not have a problem with the building block 1 and 2 (a topic and peripheral knowledge of the subject), we can easily go to the building blocks 3 and 4 (plenty of time and search for available resources) that are linked together. :-) Without sufficient slack you can not choose the right literature and resources they need to go through and get them the necessary information.

And now the main thing - to find the right resources. :-) Today, the Internet is not hard to find a pile of information. The question is which of the information is relevant (true) - always should be supported by the source from where the author of an Internet article drew. This issue does not arise if the information we are looking at libraries (each municipal library now has an electronic database).

Suppose the teacher / professor entered history as the theme works Tomas Garrigue Masaryk to find on this ruler in the library as much information? You have two options:

a) go to the shelves with books and search the name of any mention of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk. - but this method not very successful.

b) find the book (source) through the first computer in the library database and build your list - it can also search through your computer at home and in the library then just go by the created list. :-) This list is called research.

And how to create such a list? Using keywords.

Topic: Tomas Garrigue Masaryk

Keywords: Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, TGM * 1850 - 1937, politician, president, Czechoslovakia, Masaryk (family) ...

Well, now you just need to find books, borrow them, bring home and draw from them the necessary information to write the work.

If  you rewrie some information from the book (paragraph or a sentence), put it in quotation marks and footnote write from what books and which pages are text quoted. It is governed by the rules of citation norm.

High school students and college students have mouhou let you do a search directly from the library - the so-called. Search service (this service is paid and each library is determined by price alone).


 I wish you much success in your studies and hope you article will be helpful. :-) 

Thank you for reading and sorry for my English. :-)
