Students One Week Before Finals


This is the way my students looked today one week before final exams. I teach Introduction to Ethics and Introduction to Philosophy at a local community college. Most of the students are right out of high school and in their freshman year.

I tell them they should not cram the night before the exam and if they have paid attention all semester long and did the assigned reading, they should have no trouble with the final. What really frightens them is the short answers and essay questions---4 on each exam. I have even given them a study guide but they are still terrified.

Ah, the joys of learning.
