CSR Test Day

What a test...

I wasn’t sure what to expect for our CSR 309 exam. I had heard from past students that it was difficult—and they weren’t kidding. Past students told me that nearly all students receive a failing grade after taking this exam. Although this should encourage students to work harder, it’s hard to motivate to study for an exam when you are expecting to fail.

 

The questions were difficult because we were tested over specific concepts of the Leadership Challenge book. For me, I have trouble retaining information after reading a book, or even a newspaper article for that matter. I even have trouble describing my favorite books, the ones I thoroughly enjoy reading, to people who ask me what it was about. So this particular test was challenging because I wasn’t able to regurgitate all of the necessary information from reading the Leadership Challenge book just once.

 

The questions were challenging. I tried my hardest to remember the main concepts outlined in the Leadership Challenge book. Even if I had no idea what the question was asking, I would somehow incorporate the main topics I remembered into my answer. Hopefully this will help my grade a little!

 

Professor Feinberg sent out an email after the exam regarding the test. He made it clear that if the leaders were to ask him for a study guide, he would have provided one. A study guide would have been useful, but I don’t blame the leaders for not asking. I feel as if you never quite know what to expect from Professor Feinberg. We'll see how my grade ends up....
