iago, don't bring other threads into this. 1) that post was a joke, 2) I'm asking for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and just being ragged on here
Chavo, I can complete the tests during the week at night...but having them available during the weekend (and more than one available) would be beneficial to me so that I can be more productive, no procrastinate (read more in my reply to Newby below).
Whatever, if all of you are going to be pricks and not help I'll ask my dog ... at least he will be of more help.
You do realize that a complete-at-your-own-pace means you complete the material at your own pace. You can absorb and finish the material in 48 minutes or 48 hours. It never said 'finish learning a semester worth of material at your own pace" -- such a class would be unrealistic. See MyndFyre's comment.
Didn't realize this was supposed to be locked. I apologize.
(Administrators can post in locked threads, don't blame us!)
The syllabus does not specify between reading and tests. The course (from this prof) in the past (last semester) has been completely open as far as when one wishes to complete the tests.
As I said before, the tests are graded automatically so it is no more work for the prof if he were to relax the dates.
I don't want to put the tests off, I want to be able to complete them on weekends when I have more free time and can complete multiple exams. The goal of my email is to relax the schedule so I can be MORE productive, not less.
Sidoh mentioned he perceives me as being a party first, school second kind of guy. I know I post about drinking a lot and virtually never about school. However, I am a rather studious person. I have just completed revising my paper that is due tomorrow, I have begun a study guide for a test that is next week, and now just need to look up one bit of information and revise a large paper that is due next Thursday.
Whatever image I may project as a partier, I am not. If I drink and get buzzed during the week (a Thursday) it's because the next day I have all of my assignments completed and the classes are going to be very simple. The "worst" I ever was about 2-3 weeks ago when I skipped because of a hang over and 1 of my classes was not in session that day and the other two just happened to be reviewing the previous session's exams. I missed nothing and "aced" the exams following that missed day, but if need be I could've gone and been just fine.
I am a full time student, part time worker, and am in two students organizations (College Republicans and Pi Sigma Alpha which is the government honor society [yes, you have to meet GPA requirements and etc]). I do live a well rounded life and am not strictly a crazy drinking bastard...although that seems SO much easier to do at times.
And on this note, I need to go look up stuff for that paper and then watch the Rockies sadly lose. (I don't have a test available to take right now so don't even mention that)
