Finals
Just thought that I would throw a shout out to Kevin Hall this day for my appreciation of his final examination process. I am all for testing learnings, but when it falls under such stressful conditions, I would much rather demonstrate my learnings in a way that is less stressing.
I personally had no experience with final exams until I first came to college. Let me tell you, they were the death of me. The way that I went through high school was turning in final presentations to demonstrate my learnings throughout the course. I feel it is more recall than recognition processing. And most people learn and retain more information when it is recall and applicable than just plain recognition.
This begs the question, how much am I actually learning from my courses that do have final exams that I tend to cram for no matter how hard I try not to? There are a few professors that understand the importance of recall memory and application and emphasize it in their class. I appreciate these professors.
Overall, I look back at the courses that I have taken and remembered the most from and none of them had final examination tests at the end. Let's look into life application learning and recall presenting.

WoW
This is a confessional post. I, Adam David Ave-Lallemant, a soon-to-be 22 year old male, play World of Warcraft. I am NOT addicted. I KNOW the importance of real life. I am in a committed relationship and I DO hold my girlfriend in higher priority than World of Warcraft. And finally, my mother does NOT pay for my World of Warcraft subscription.
Whew. Now that I got that off my chest. People can criticize and judge all they want, I'm a gamer and I love my life AND my girlfriend.

Controversy
There seems to be a lot of controversy over some of my posts. I'd like to remind people that I am merely stating my outlook on things and I am not a perfect individual. A personal blog is meant to be a personal reflection and reaction. There should be no room for personal attacks on a personal blog. I have tried my hardest not to personally attack anyone in any of my posts and I hope the readers would do the same. I respectfully post my viewpoint and opinion with all the love that Christ has given me and sometimes it may come off as a personal attack but I'd like to point you to the several times in which Christ called out the pharisees and sadducees. He did it because He loved them, and I hope to portray the same.
