Why
Why do they exist?
It's like standerdized testing ..is their really a point?! You'll memorize everything from A to Z for that two or three hour exam and then..what?!
Does it make you complete?! Whole?! A better person?!
What if you can't produce an 'A' essay with a thesis and supporting arguments which are all worth 50% of the exam and have it complete in a matter of an hour?! What then?! And what If I do complete it and get an A?! Does that make someone more intelligent then the average joe beside you who didn't do so hot. Brainstorm people --BRAINSTORM!
Come next semester we'll have other concepts, theories ideas to absorb and the cycle happens all over again...
oh joy
oh bliss

BRAIN TORTURE

I don't like mid-terms in the first place. At the same time, I tend to differ with what most of academics call "genius Jack and Jane". Intelligence is what remains in your head after all the years of school! Completing a thesis in one hour and thereafter carry an empty head is like chewing popcorns at a commentary.
Getting an A grade is worthless if you cannot apply the knowledge in future; and worse still if you got it through memorizing!!!
REMEMBER:
YOU MEMORIZE, YOU FORGET
YOU READ, YOU KNOW
YOU STUDY, YOU UNDERSTAND!!
