24 HR Exam, still outline?

Post by jn7 » Thu Mar 27, 2014 4:27 pm

I know this is probably a stupid question to ask, but just wondering if any of you had experiences with 24/hr take home exams and whether or not it is even useful to outline for these classes? I really feel like with so much time, it would be rather pointless to consolidate notes etc. when I can just look through what I have and have the book handy given the amount of time available.

Thanks!

Still do whatever you normally do for prep. You still got to be able to spot the issues.

These are the worst exams. You just know there are gunners out there who are going to spend the full day taking the exam.

And people who normally work slower than you and therefore do worse will score better.

I've got one of these coming up too, and am not looking forward to it. I took two take home exams last semester, but they were basically open the entire two weeks of the finals period, so you could spend as much or as little time as you wanted on it so long as they were in by the end of the finals period.

In comparison, how much worse is the 24 hour take home?
