Dead Week

I know this is more of an East coast thing. We call the week before finals “Dead Week”. We just got our take home finals for World Lit II and I’m just about screwed >_>’ I hadn’t been reading anything for that class in the past three weeks. My own fault but his final is rediculas, even if I had been reading it would take more the set time to do it. This man doesn’t understand that we have other finals, research papers, and portfolios to do for other classes.
Well, seems that I will have to pull several all nighters for this one. Wish me luck.

Good luck!! And remember its better that people expect too much from you than too little. 😉

^^’ Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind at 5am. It may give me a little more drive.

Also keep in mind that all teachers think that their classes are the only classes you have, so they give you tons of work. And take-home finals tend to be harder, without fail, than regular finals held in class. I can see why you would call it “Dead Week.” So good luck, and remember you can party when you’re done! I always splurged on chocolate or video games when my finals ended! Good luck!!

At the school I went to we only had a “Dead Day”! It was the day before finals started, no one had classes and everyone was either studying or partying – depending on how much the cared about their GPAs.

on class the final project is due tonight…and the other class I had an A in so I don’t have to do the final exam..

it’s a pain…

Good luck! I hope you do well!
I just finished with my finals, and fortunately I recieved good grades in all classes but one. I got a “C” in my Secondary Education Management class, which really sucks because the only reason I got that grade was because I had to miss the last 4 class periods because of my baby. Before I gave birth my instructor was like “Oh don’t worry about it…we will work something out!” But once I gave birth her whole additude changed and she said my grade will suffer because I will lose out on participation points. But even after I had my baby, I made it a point to attend at least one more of her classes, and she still gave me a “C”! I am so mad because I think I have to take it over now because I don’t think the Education Department allows for Educ. majors to get below a “B” in order to continue on to graduate. Grrrr!! 👿

Something that important, I would take it to the department head or higher and argue my grade. I mean, for goodness sake, you had a BABY!! You weren’t just randomly skipping class over there. 😕

You should be able to get by with a “C” eaglefeather, but it may depend on the curiculum there so I’m not sure. Thanks for all the good luck, I just finished a portfolio and half of a research paper so I’m where I need to be, maybe even a little ahead of the game, besides the take home final.

I know! My other instructors were so understanding, and they worked things out with me, but not that one teacher! Fortunately, I found out that I just need to maintain a 3.0, which with that “C” my GPA dropped to 3.07. Talk about a close one! I usually maintain a 3.7! I am at least grateful that I don’t have to take that class over again!

Good! You’ll do great!

Gah, school. My tests are in November. That’s bad enough. I’m not going to start worrying about them until after summer vacation, though. 😛
Good luck, Red.
