Finals
As my final week draws to an end, I thought I’d take some time out to reflect on finals week and what it means to me.
Finals week has several meanings for me. The first is its usually a last chance to either drastically improve my grade in a class, or often times a chance for me to just blow my grade. The finals is crunch time, I actually tend to enjoy the chance because I can often cram a semester of learning into my head in a relatively short amount of time.
Finals week also is part of what I don’t like about school, that is the valuing of one test or paper. In my mind its hard to really get something from a class when so much time and effort is put into one project or just one paper. Their ends up being too much emphasis on it and I feel it detracts from the learning that can take place. I think that a series of smaller projects throughout the year, with a final project that doesn’t have a too much more significance than any other project would be more beneficial.
