I cannot believe it is mid-term week already.
It feels like we just got back to school. I will have to do much more than study for one of my classes simply because I got into it late, being that the department cancelled the class I was in.
The closure of my original class happened after I, along with my classmates, attended class an entire week. The official cancellation occurred on Friday, which coincidentally happened to be the last day to register for classes. I went through everything to get into the new class, and then the professor gave me a hard time as well. But at least I was finally in the class, despite two whole weeks of school passing by.
I asked the professor what they had gone over in previous classes, to which she replied, “It’s all on Blackboard.” Come to find out, most of the important things were NOT even on Blackboard, but on a piece of paper which was passed to the members of the class to take photos of on their cell phones.
In many of my other classes, I feel sorry for some of my peers. Many of them were forced to wait until the university released their refunds to purchase their books, and for the most part, professors are understanding and generous when it comes to that. However, at some point, the class must go on, and there are people who have still yet to receive their refunds, meaning they don’t have books. Without textbooks, they have no way of adequately preparing for mid-term exams.
Also, in one of my more difficult classes, the only grade we’ll be receiving so far this semester will be our mid-term grade. The in-class review day was cancelled due to the Founders’ Day Celebration. I truly wish our exams wouldn’t be during or near this time, as so much is occurring and trying to focus on it all is difficult.
At the end of the day, midterms are here, and college is all about time management and prioritizing. With so much going on in this spring semester, I can honestly say that midterms are going to be a great challenge.
