first exam

almost finished with my first round of uni exams now! only one more to go tomorrow, astronomy, loads of writing. should do some revision *cough*
is there no other way to asses students? i have to say exams arent as hard as i thought they would be, prob to do with the fact that revision does help?..naaahh..well but cant we come up with something smarter then exams? how are people in the real world assesed? how does my idea of having problem based courses(give a bunch of students a problem to solve and they can do what ever they want, maybe you can construct the problem so that they have to think about moment of inertia to solve it, that is if you want them to learn soemthing about Inertia, one the way they could pick up integration skills and see why polar co-ords are cool&useful) instead of lecture based courses fit into that?

list of stuff i have to do, prob well boring for you lot:
loads of ideas i have to put down, psyc client, secret tm.de stuff, blog product for zope, think about a mobile, start saving for a pepper pad, sort out my HDDs, wanted to find a decent cookbook(nina can send you copies of jamies stuff perhaps), maybe some sleep
