Y'know, that's the one thing I really liked about grad school... it was all projects rather than tests - demonstration/application of knowledge rather than regurgitation.

Well! Aren't you just so smart!!!! 
Well! Aren't you just so smart!!!!
Sometimes... other times, not so much!
Being overeducated doesn't make you smart... it just puts you farther in debt!
Yes it does! (just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in!-lol)
Welcome!
Anyone lurking about?
Hello Carol! How's it going tonight? Can't sleep?
Pretty good so far. All is quiet. I'm just reading in 10-15 minute intervals, to prepare for a test in the morning. It does help assimilate the info better. Then to start on 3 paper assignments for the rest of the week and weekend. Luckily, I found the documenatry that one paper will be based on at the library, so that buys a huge amount of time for me, avoiding having to stay at school longer, losing sleep.
Sounds amazingly simple, but, you'd be surprised how many are locked into the "modern" mindset of: If I can't down load it, I gotta stay at school and view it. Coming up in the old ways, like using the public library, and other things, makes you a a "crafty" veteran.
There ya go! You have an advantage.
It sounds like you are doing the right stuff...reading in small chunks and letting it sink in...outthinking your classmates. When I went back it totallly kicked my butt even though I wasn't going full time. I think you planned better than I did
Oh, It's kicking my but too, don't be fooled by my confident quotes. I am and will be paying for this one way or another, for some time to come, probably extending through the summer, just to do it all again.

Ehh...you're dealing with it better than I did. I got in a knockdown dragout fight (not literally) online with one of my professors. That got REALLY interesting
Been there, done that, but, in the classroom, during class! The students gave it for me at the time. Funny thing, I'm very quiet, sit at the back, and could go a whole college career never talking to anyone. However, I am who I am, and will not back off, and will confront if pushed (partially why keeping quiet in the kempo forums nearly killed me -lol). She picked me out and kept pushing, and we had it out! In the end she insulted me, and sat down, leaving the class to itself. I WON!!!!! Ha Ha!
Now I'm just the opposite. I usually sit up front, ask questions, take a gazillion notes, act like a nerd (well...I am a nerd) and dominate the class....but may heaven have mercy on the teacher whose explanations I don't get 
Carol, I see you are back. Get some sleep!
