\mytitle{My First Exam}{\gp}

Today holds first exam! Additionally, todays due dates include quizzes \#1 and
\#3, along with the second assignment.

I completed quizzes \#1 and \#3 a while ago, a few times, actually. The quizzes
had unlimited attempts, as a way for the teacher to allow us to maximize our
points for the term. I'm not going to say the questions were easy, but if you
pay attention in class, you won't miss them. I was able to get both of the
quizzes up to 100\%, so that's a nice addition to my grade. There is also a quiz
\#2, but it is extra credit, and I'll complete it within the week when I have
time.

The actual exam itself was also definitely doable. Being a fifty question exam,
I thought I was surely going to miss more than just a handful, but I was
pleasantly surprised with the contents. I should also mention that we were
allowed a three by five, double-sided notecard on the exam; which caused more
trouble that it should have. First, I should also add that I asked the teacher
if I could print out my notecard, so I could type it up in Word and make the
text really small and cram as much information as I can on both sides. I think
spent over an hour messing with the sizing and trying to get the word to fit and
not overflow or get caught in the margins, which are misleading compared to the
printer preview!

Anyways, the notecard actually proved to be rather useless as none of the, or
what I thought to be, essential information was actually on the exam \ldots, so! As I
mentioned, I was a little surprised of the exam questions being so tame and I
even had enough time to go back and double-check myself around three times after
completing the exam.

The turnaround of grading was also quite fast and I had my score by the
evening \ldots a twenty-one out of twenty-five; not bad! That score also includes a
half-point of extra credit. Overall, it went well, especially considering that
the class average was around 74\%.
