2 days for an essay
Ender:
So I have a bunch of reading and physics homework due tomorrow, and a bunch of math homework due Tuesday. I am thinking about leaving myself two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) to write a 4-5 page paper on the Iliad due Thursday morning. And by 2 days, I mean like 5-7 hours each day = 10-14 hours to do so. This paper will be 30% of my class grade, although he only gave us the prompt on last Thursday, giving us a week to do it. Do you guys think this is too rushed?

I suppose it depends on how well you work under that kind of stress. I know when I put a big assignment off until the last minute (especially if it isn't a math-related subject), I tend to do much worse than if I were to start it earlier.
We have calc assignments due once a week, but they take a few hours to do. For the last few weeks, I've been puting it off until the night before its due. I go to a coffee shop with my friend and pump out all of the problems while we're there. It takes forever, but I totally pwn the quizzes since I'm so fresh on the material.

2 days is all I'm given for some of my essays, grow a pair.

Are your essays worth 30% of your class grade?
