Blog Entry #12: Shorten Essay Length!


This week started off with me having to take my final for college algebra. I studied for weeks for this final, because I didn’t want to fail it again like how I did last semester. But when I go to the Testing Center, I find out that the whole system was down and not working, so no one could take their final. Of course I immediately freaked right the fuck out, but all turned well when about 15 minutes later, the system opened back up and I was able to take my final. I passed with a low C! Which gave me a B for the class. 
But besides algebra, I also took a final for Media and Society, and plus a final for World Literature on Thursday, and then the 5-7 page essay for this class due Friday. It seemed like a lot on my plate, but I know there’s other students who have it way worse than I do, so I’m grateful.
But I still think the essay for this class should just be 3-4 pages, not 5-7 pages, because that’s inconsiderate to those students who DO have too much on their plate. :)

  1. Congrats on passing algebra i know how big of a pain that class can be. The testing center is by far the worst place in the world to have to take a test. Every time i use to go in there my stress went up and there were always distractions. Don't worry to much about the paper for this class once you start it, it's easy. I finished mine in a few hours, best advice is to brain storm over the 3 topics then every thing else will come easily.

  2. I agree, I think this essay is a bit long. I mean it could be worse, but it is Thursday and I have not even had time to think about project 4 because I have had a final every day this week. It would definitely be nice if it was 3-4 pages.

  3. I couldn't agree any more! i had the same issue! i had tests one after the other for 2 weeks straight and finally thursday night was the only time i could write the my project 4 paper and then the topic was hard to even write 5 to 7 pages because I ran out things to say!
