Oh my gosh so this past month has
been so stressful for me, due to teachers piling all these major assignments
and activities on me during the very end. Not only are they at the very end but
it causes me to have to present multiple times during the day. I have had a
major project due in every class but not only that but most of them are
multiple parts, meaning I will have to do one thing and then go to the next
part and have to sometimes write a paper about whatever I presented. I have literally
pulled nearly 4 all-nighters within a two week span period. I know when I become
a teacher I will not put this much stress and hard work on my students right
before they go onto break. But yet I will spread it out throughout the school
year. I will also help them when they are struggling whether it’s hard or not.
Definitely a feature of college classes: backloading, where the majority of points and work is due in the last few weeks of the semester. Sometimes even having good syllabi and knowing that you will have three presentations in one week doesn't clue you in to the details of each assignment!
