mini-crisis
Jun. 9th, 2004 07:47 pmI have an exam tomorrow at noon. I must receive a C or better in this class or I will not graduate Northwestern. I received a D grade on the midterm (%25 of my grade) and will not know about the results of the paper (%50 of my grade) until the final tomorrow (the remaining %25 of my grade.) I am only moderately confident in the paper.
The final is supposed to be of the relatively terse variety. It will be drawn from lecture but also primarily from a book, Zachary S. Schiffman's Humanism & the Renaissance specifically. Theoretically it will consist of answering 20 out of 22 (or some numbers thereabouts) fill-in-the blank questions to the effect of "[Author]'s selection in the Schiffman book suggests that [Author]'s main argument concerning Humanism in Italy is ____________."
After having written the paper using basically only this book, I appear to have misplaced it. There is no Blackboard site so I cannot contact my classmates, and I am not friendly with any of them anyway. The library does not own a copy of the book. The bookstore will not re-open until 8:30 tomorrow, and I do not know if they still have copies of the book. Without a chance to review the contents of this book I am very likely in deep, deep trouble.
