link hereI hate midterms. Whose bright idea was it to schedule exams that make up 50% of your final grade all during the same week? It's one thing with finals since then we get a week off in advance to study, but this is just ridiculous. How does anyone expect us to go to class, do all our regular tedious work like lab write ups and daily reading, and then study for these monstrous exams on top of all that?
And it's not like you can study in advance for most of these things either. Half the time, you're not even given all the material for the midterm until TWO DAYS beforehand, which makes it impossible to avoid cramming. What the hell?! Do these people want us to fail? Oh, and if you're really lucky, one of your professors will give a you a "take-home exam" in the middle of all this. So now, on top of having to cram for two midterms in two days, you have to write a ten page paper too.
And they wonder why college students have such a high rate of suicide.
