Kiara and I finished our first University of Otago Final yesterday at 4:30. The format was quite different than what we are used to, so it was an interesting experiance. The finals were composed of a number of long essay questions and we had to choose the three we wanted to answer. It is somewhat frightening to realize that 50% (Kiara) or 70% (Caleb) of your grade is based on your knowledge of three concepts from the semester! I also worry a little about the subjectivity of grading the essays...it is not nearly so cut and dry as multiple choice ScanTron (fill in the bubble) tests that we are used to back home!
We have our next test, Maori Society, this Monday. We were both worried about it at first, but at the final review lecture our professor told us exactly what the questions were...
We will keep you updated as our time in New Zealand comes to an end.
