The pressure of exams and coursework- Michael Ababio




When I started university I knew the work load would be more, I knew it would be at an intensity I have never experience before and I have not been underwhelmed by the work so far. Every coursework we get is a big challenge because it also involves a huge amount of our own research on top of what we have been taught in lectures and classes. But I do find the mark scheme that are given to achieving a good grade very helpful as it give clear guidelines to what should be there and what shouldn’t be.

Exams have been very stressful since I have been here and as the tend to be a lot of pressure put on us a week or two before the exams, and they tend but I feel like revising well before any exam will go a good way to cutting the nerves of the whole exam. So in future exams I will makes sure that I am fully prepared then some nerves will be taken. While doing the exams I have found out is that what we have been taught comes up in exams very clearly and it does not differ at all from what has been taught.

I do not like exam and coursework pressure but I understand that is what comes with being at university. My main determination is to make sure that they do not get to me; that I keep a cool head and carry on to do my work, hopefully to a high standard. Also make sure I do much better in exams that I have previously done while being here.
