Last class final

I'm a little nervous about the final in our tech class. I'm not sure exactly what the format will be other than it will be an essay. This is the only final I have for this semester, so I'm just wondering how it will go. Hopefully the essay won't be too bad, and we will be able to get through it. Would anyone have been more comfortable doing a final project that involved a unit that utilized our different skills learned throughout the class, or is an essay enough? I prefer the essay, but I'm interested if anyone else would want to show off all the skills they learned this semester instead of writing.
