I happen to be a lazy student with a good memory though so I LOVED exams and hated assignments. XD If I could do a mega huge scary giant exam to pass my PhD instead of writing a thesis I would totally do it. :P
For me, it was exactly the opposite. Exams destroyed me, but writing essays, reports, and doing presentations was something I knew how to rock at and it only got better as I figured out all the cool stuff in Photoshop to help with the graphics. Also, after writing novels that were over 200 pages, single-spaced for fun, getting an assignment to write a report that was 10 pages double-spaced was like asking me how my walk in the park was. The only really pesky thing was finding quotes and citations to use and incorporating them into my written reports. That was like really the only thing that actually slowed me down. I could be on a writing spree and then I'd have to stop and insert someone else's blurbs into my stuff "just because." But yeah, stuff that would take people weeks was the kind of thing I could crank out in less than a day and still have time for fun stuff afterword.
