WARNING:long blog with no pictures, feel free not to read.
I really don't like posting blogs without pictures. There is no picture to associate with this topic, unless I showed you my stressed out face, cause that is what I am.
I am taking my comprehensive exams (for my Masters degree) on Thursday. Everyone that has taken them has told me not to worry about them. They continue by saying I was really stressed about them and then I took them and they were a breeze.
I have 4 questions. My major professor writes 2 questions and then two other professors write 1 each.
My major professor's question, I feel like, will be a breeze. I have had her for A LOT of classes and feel like I know her grading style.
Professor #2 has been very clear about his question and has been really great to meet with me and answer any question I may have. #2's question is on theory (you know; constructivism, behaviorism, and cognitivism). I have studied about these since my first class at Mississippi State. I think I can handle that one too.
Here is where the stress comes in! Professor #3. #3 means well, but it is stressing me out. Professor #3 gave me 5 chapters in a book to read. They were even short chapters, and very helpful to my teaching career. For the relevance I was thankful. But, the stressor is...professor #3 is only going to pick one of the articles for me to write about, but I have to be completly prepared for each one of them. AND did i mention that i have to site it APA at the end. And let me be honest I don't know how to to do that(I told her I did, forgive me Lord). I am a technology major; Microsoft Word will do it for you, Why would I waist my time in learning how to do it...just saying. This question is more stressful, than the others, because I have very little prior knowledge of these subjects unlike the other questions from professors #1 and #2.
All this to say please lift a pray for me between 12pm and 5pm on March 24th.
