Why don't teachers understand that if we haven't learned it by now, we're not going to? I'm a pretty good student, mostly A's and B's. Alot of my professors gave us comprehensive finals this semester. It just aggravates me, because we have to go back over all of the material for the whole semester to study for this one test. I studied for each test and made good grades, so I don't think it's really fair to have to take another test on the same information. Not to mention, this same teacher gave us our last chapter test of Monday, and then our final was on Friday. I think she ran out of time and didn't plan on giving us the tests in the same week, but I thought it sucked. Some of my other teachers gave us chapter tests for our finals, and with already having 6 tests in one week, those tests worked out alot better than the comprehensive ones. I think that teachers often forget what it was like on finals week!

The idea of a class is to learn something - if by the end of the semester you don't remember anything you've learned all year, that semi-defeats the purpose of taking the class in the first place. Final (comprehensive) exams reinforce what you've learned over the semester, and ensure that you actually learned what it was the class was teaching.
Does that make sense?
This is true. I hate to break it to you, but life is not fair. Not everyone gets to be an astronaut.

You're right. Nobody loves finals, especially when you have so much to study. But you are lucky, cause you said you had good grades at your other tests, so you must know almost everything for this final.
Yeah they suck but the teachers have to do something to judge how well they are teaching.
