These last five weeks have really made a lot of students realize exactly how fortunate we used to be when we were on quarters. However, there are still those who maintain that students learn so much more on semesters, and class discussion has more time to develop in 15 weeks. Fodder for a back to school article would be to see how many professors feel they got to know their students better. We'd do the story now, but a preliminary surveillance of campus revealed comatose students and irritable, overworked professors. Although finals week is still looming over our heads, the finish line is in sight.
Some students only have one or two finals while others have the whole week booked.
And don't forget final projects, theses, presentations and research papers. Those deadlines are rapidly approaching as well. But then we get four weeks of non-academic bliss. For us at The Jambar, part of that vacation begins a little early because this is our last issue for the semester. Yes, we are students and have finals, projects and papers to do as well.
