I Can't Stand Homework
Alright so is it just me or has anyone else had it with homework? I mean it has been a little over a week and I feel I have gotten enough homework for the semester. Is homework even really needed when you think about it?? I mean yea it's supposed to help us learn and retain stuff easier but what is the point if we can't concentrate in class the next day because we were up til 3 in the morning trying to finish it all? And does it really help us THAT much? I mean what if we tried to take a class that didn't give us any homework but that just taught us everything in class. I guess it would be too hard because the teacher wouldnt be able to teach us everything in time. But still, I mean some teachers think that we only have one class and it's theirs, so they give us hours of homework to do and by the time we feel we accomplished something, we have homework for 3 other classes. I dont know about anyone else but i dont think staying up til 3 and then waking up at 8 or 830 is very healthy. Maybe a little less homework from each class would do the job?

I know how you feel. Getting up for an 8:30 class is never fun. The amount of reading assigned by some teachers is unfair. I think our grades should be based on our test grades only.
I agree students get way to much homework. I think it would be more helpful to get more sleep so that students can pay better attention in class. Homework doesn't teach as much information as students can learn while paying attention in class. Some homework is ok but to much is bad.
Trouble is--------
Depends on whether the idea is for students to just learn what the prof says or for students to learn to learn on their own.
Too many people already just believe whatever someone else says!
