I’m so sick of classes that do weekly-quizzes.
This shit genuinely just does not work, and it’s ridiculous. Go to one, maximum two classes that week, get a brief 1 hour lecture, do a short homework assignment, and then get your grade butchered at the end of the week because you don’t fully, 100% understand information you literally just learned a day or two ago. Why is this such a common trend in STEM courses? It just lowers everyone’s grades pointlessly because nearly everyone improves by the mid term once they’ve had more time with the concepts. On top of the fact that it’s poorly representative of a students’ effort/understanding, it’s just exhausting. Studying and stressing every single week over 2-3 quizzes is just a formula for burnout and misery.
