Spring Break
The end of spring break is approaching. School is about to start, and my brain can finally turn back on. See during the last two weeks of a term and about a week after one, my brain turns to mush. I get irritated and continueally forget things. icall it the endoftermititus, where a sickness is created by having stress thrown at you, like many different mangonels gigantic projectiles being hurled mercilessly at the unsuspecting bystander creating mass overkill and cronal stimuli implosion.
For someone like me, the suggestion i give to teachers/professor/masochists is to allow your students/slaves to take their finals sometimes during the five week and their midterms around the second week. Also to not schedule the finals on the same week. This would allow greater exploration of a subject without relying on the grossly inaccurate "final" score. All scores should be strictly based on precipitation during class and not on the work turned in or so-called "comprehensive exams".
I would not be surprised if that all proto-terorists groups created around the Hlenic Age of Greece formed a coalition discribing what they would do to the world and the first thing they voted unanimnously on was comprehensive exams to all students, with no notes.
Now during the evolution of the academic principles one can see the changes made in these tests.
For examples multiple choice tests. They fool the unsuspecting student in believe the odds that if the multiple choice question has five possible answers he/she/it has a one in five percent chance of getting the right question...wrong. Multiple choice questions are the worse type of tests. Instead of having one possible answer their are five remotely right answers and the answers is determined by the professor using one of the following possibilities: His/Her/Its point of view, race, creed, religion, moral upbringing, childhood, moreys, code of honor, code of dishonor, hatred for students, masochistic tendencies, bordom, or just plain being one sick son of a bitch.
Now stating this, i know that i am about to embark on another roller-coaster of brain deteriation.So i wish me luck(for i am going to need it) as i try to fight my way through this system of catch and release known as college.(Any other sadistics people making the motions through college, i wish you luck as well.)
