First Exam
Today I had my first exam of the year: microbiology. Because I have a class at the time microbiology usually takes place, and I have made arrangements with the professor to do everything (except the exams) online, I had to arrange an alternative time to take the exam (in this case, right after my Field biology class finished). The exam went well enough, but I certainly noticed the limitations of not attending the class itself. It is difficult to gauge which topics are the most relevant when they all look the same in a screen and there isn’t a professor either spending more time on them or clarifying what is and what isn’t important. To be fair, the professor has been kind enough to record an audio of all the lectures and upload them to blackboard, but there is still something about being in class that online-classes don’t give you!
