I guess, it’s good that you don’t get tested very often so you have more time to read and put it together – but at the same time is that six weeks of information on one exam (vs. like 2-3 weeks) is HUGE. When a prior comment was talking about the amount of information being “pornographic” in size, she wasn’t kidding. The info will be leaking out of your ears. LOL.

What’s even more interesting is that the final grades in blocks 1, 2, and 3 are actually averaged to provide a final “core concepts” average. In a sense, we get one grade for the “Core Foundations” course… six months worth of material. As you know, UT Southwestern is very different in this regard. I’d say there are pros and cons with each method of testing.

So is your entire grade in a block based on one exam!?!?
