“It would be my data structures final,” said Alexander Bermudez, a computer science junior. “I basically have to make programs that deal with setting data in very specific ways.” | Oscar Aguilar/The Cougar
“Probably the one for my intro class for communication sciences and disorders,” said Alejandra Martinez, a communication sciences and disorders sophomore. “I have to talk about prevention, different disorders, the autism spectrum disorders, fluency disorders and what causes all that stuff.” | Oscar Aguilar/The Cougar
“I think it’s bio two,” said Adrian Canizares, a kinesiology sophomore. “The test is cumulative, so it’s sort of hard to know what to study for.” | Oscar Aguilar/The Cougar
“Philosophy 1321,” said Jennifer Castro, a psychology junior. “It’s just numerical equations, word problems and trying to find if a certain statement is valid or not.“ | Oscar Aguilar/The Cougar
“Geology,” said Kelis Woods, a digital media freshman. “We’re doing solar systems, rivers and climate.” | Oscar Aguilar/The Cougar
