[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are all so old you’ve forgotten how college works. The professors do not choose the date for their final exam. 
The time and date of the final exam is based on when the class meets. So, all the students who have a class on Mon/We’d/Fri at 10am will take their final at 8 am on the Monday of finals week. Otherwise every professor would schedule exams on the first day of finals week and all the students would have conflicts. If finals week ends on 12/23 someone had to draw the short stick.[/quote]

Yes. I am a professor and I can assure you there’s no benefit to having the exam scheduled last! It means less time to correct them and it screws up your holiday more.[/quote]

OP sounds so clueless and entitled.

I am a professor too.

I have NO control over when the school schedules the semester, breaks, finals week, etc. Because I care about the student's education, I hold class Thanksgiving week, if my class falls on a pre-break date. Then it begins. Students start guilting me about holding class, since they want to go home early. Or they tell me that Dr. So and So has cancelled his class that week. That does not mean the other professor is so cool and I am an ogre. The other professor is getting out of work/a lecture , and covering less in their class.

Many students think the easiest classes/teachers are the best. That is not the case, but then again, they may not be in college for the right reasons.[/quote]
