(Since I forgot to do one over break. Whoops!)
I think most Witt students, including myself, would agree that Thanksgiving Break is a much needed pause in the intense work load that classes drop on their students. It's not exactly Christmas break, but it does give us a chance to catch our breath before diving into the deep, torrential abyss that is finals. It's both a time to forget about school and to enjoy time with our families. And a time to eat delicious food as well.
However, some professors don't seem to want to grant their students this luxury. Kappa Delta sister, Megan Smith, said that she had a 6 page paper assigned over break. Other members of the sorority shared similar stories, saying that the assignments they were given were scheduled (and expected) to be done before students returned for their final weeks of class. When asked why she thought professors did this, she said that just assumed that her professor wanted to "ruin her life".
Personally, I didn't have to face this problem over break. And in my opinion, no-one else should have to either. It's bad enough that some professors seek to assign a final project on top of a final exam within days of each other, but for the love of gods! At least give us this one, if not brief, chance to relax.
