Markov Chains and Queuing Theory

Hurray!  I passed my oral discussion test about Markov Chains and Queuing theory today.  I had a list of four topics:  Markov Processes in general--both discrete and continuous; Poisson Processes; Exponential Distribution; and the M/M/1 Queue.  Sometimes it took some probing for him to get from me the answer he was looking for, but I did re-establish my understanding of the topics.

On the other hand, I did not do well on my test in warehousing.  After answering the questions I knew, I had about half of the test remaining and about 15 minutes left to work.  I had what can only be described as a panic attack.  I may as well have turned in my test and left the room.   It is such a frustrating problem.  I used to be such a good test taker and now I just can't handle the pressure.  Hopefully, our group will do well on our project and I'll manage to pass the course.  Graduation is in two months!
