Okay....stupid question, but do you take exams in these? They sound pretty cool! Like politics in film- wicked!


depends on the class... but usually we have some kind of quizes or finals!
in vocal technique basically our final is our performance in front of school.

for politics and film (and yes, it is a wicked class, haha) we dont have quizes... but he gives us a essay to do every 2 movies we watch! We just have to answer questions about the films and analyze them! We watch movies like Primary Colors, Amistad, and 13 Days. I took Film Studies last semester and that was basically about film techniques and we watched a lot of interesting movies... We also wrote a lot of essays on each film we watched (we had to do like 2 a week) and take a few quizes and tests on our text book stuff. Our final was to write, cast, produce, direct and edit our own film! That was SO much fun!

but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

It all sounds really weird. Like here we only ever take subjects like that to do a final externally examined final in. You barely have any externally assessed exams it sounds like. ARGH i suppose it all comes with being the most examined country in the world.  :roll:
