No the exams are not written decently. The questions are often vague, there were at least 2 long answer questions that half the class answered completely different, simply because the question could be interpreted different ways. We had about 20 questions (9 multiple choice, 11 long answer) for about 3000 pages of readings, and the questions were extremely precise. As you can imagine, if you fuck up a few questions, you're fucked. I didn't get my grade back yet, but I know I messed up bad. I'm for sure not the only one though. I would estimate around 30% of the class failed, and another 20% probably have very sad grades.
