Yes, it is the night before my final exam in PSYC 210: Social Psychology. Sixteen weeks of class lectures and homework will culminate in a 2.5 hours long exam tomorrow. Guess the cool part! I can take it either at 9AM or at 1:30PM (thank you, Honor Code!)
Indeed, we’re lucky to have the Honor Code. Thanks to the Code, we have self-scheduled exams and my professors trust that I will abide by the Code. They trust (well, know) that I will not cheat when I will not be supervised in the exam room tomorrow. Also, I’m not worried when I leave my computer on a desk in a dark corner of the library and I have access to every resource that Wellesley offers, some of whom are available for a lifetime (the CWS office for example).
“As a Wellesley College student, I will act with honesty, integrity, and respect.”
One would never guess that those 13 words can open the doors to so many opportunities and possibilities… but they do. And I think that’s pretty neat.
Alright, that being said I ought to go back to my revision-and-packing session. The next time you’ll read one of my blog posts, I’ll be back here and having a blast during the Albright Institute (I’m in the group that will focus on Iran!)
In the meantime……
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Kwanzaa!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays!
Note: Remember that the Early Evaluation deadline is January 1st!
