^ I think most are a bit like Music Banter. Imagine reading the longest, most boring thread we have*, then being obligated to PM a 500-word analysis by the end of the week. The only feedback for your efforts is a percentage grade in a column and the privilege of doing the same again next week.

* Any nominations, out of curiosity? Please don't snipe at someone's journal though.

It's like musicbanter except nobody has any personality because everybody's just trying to bang out their homework and the only discussion that occurs are dead end agreement responses because everybody's trying to get credit for their 3 responses.

Aye, that's about the dumbest ****ing criteria you can have. 5 months of learning boiled down to 3 evaluations to test your understanding. I had a few courses like that.

That’s lazy af from a teaching standpoint

From kindergarten to doctoral, tracking student progress through regular assessment of understanding is a cornerstone of quality instruction without exception

Actually I take back what I said

College doesn’t need a bunch of rinkidink assessments

I feel like college should be owned by the students, and they should design the classes since their the ones going to them and probably know what's best.
