I have the portfolio for this class (and I'm probably going to have to present it), a ~10 page paper due next week for my STS 470 class, and one final on monday. That is essentially all I have left to do to complete my degree. That really doesn't total up to a lot of work.
The portfolio I have done, I just need to upload it. The paper I've got about a page done so far and the topic is phenomenally boring (the assignment is 100% bullshit, god I hate gen eds). The final is in my only really challenging class this semester aersp 430: space propulsion (which is an awesome class by the way).
The teacher for my propulsion class has broken the class into three distinct sections and allows you to have multiple chances on a test grade on all but the last section of material. The first test is only on the first sections material, the second test has half first section/half second section, and the final is equal parts all three. Each section is graded separately on each test and he takes the highest score for each section (from any of the three tests) when calculating the final grade. If you already banked a satisfactory grade on the prior material you can skip them and only do the new material.
Which is what I am doing on this final. I already have A's banked for the first two sections so therefore I only need to study the last sections material. Also, when it comes to taking the actual test the third sections material will most likely be covered in only 2-3 questions for proper time fairness to those trying to complete all three sections material. That means I will have the full 2 hours to complete 2-3 questions instead of the normal 10-11 ish. I really like this method of scoring, it really allows you to demonstrate your grasp of the material fairly instead of just catching you with tiny technicalities.
