[quote=Anonymous]I hope not as my sophomore works his butt off for his grades but has severe anxiety that can cause him to freeze up when he considers a test high-stakes. This just happened in an AP class where he was crushing it all quarter. He had a high A going in to the last few days of the quarter and had been an active participant in class. He bombed the last test and it was enough that the one test dropped him to a B for the quarter. I reassured him that the grade didn’t matter but he was so disappointed that all his hard work was undone in 45 minutes. He really knew the info too. I suspect he would be pretty negatively affected across the board if finals returned in every class as he would see them as make or break. Fwiw, my college kids who had no finals had zero issue adjusting to college mid-terms and finals. They have more time to study. [/quote]
