Exams, Papers Fill Schedules
"Is Dead Week dead?"
This question is being asked
more and more among Uni
versity students who have
found that their final week of
classes has become clogged
with hour exams term pa
pers, quizzes, and lab finals.
Only one of several profes
sors contacted by the Dally
Nebraskan said that he plan
ned to give an exam next
week. "We need to have that
exam," he said. "If I don't
give It next week, then I'll
have to make the final
longer."
Students who were asked
about their schedules for next
week indicated that term pa
pers, themes, and lab finals
were the most common in
strusions into "Dead Week."
"I've had a term paper due
all semester," one student
volunteered, "but I haven't
gotten around to it until just
this week, so I'll be working
most of the time on it."
One student voiced criticism
of department requirements
which cause instructors to
have a set number of exams
and papers. "My instructor
told us that we Just had to
have this final paper because
the department said that
there should be a certain num
ber during the semester."
Many students voiced bitter
ness over the scheduling of
extra work during Dead Week.
"If most of your exams hap
pen to come early in the
examination period," com
mented one student, "you're
just out of luck if you have

tests or papers during Dead
Week."
The democratic process ap
parently enters in some
classes. "We were told that
we had to have another hour
exam before the end of the
semester," one student ex
plained. "So the professor put
the Issue to a vote. We could
either have it during Dead
Week, which would give us
more time to study for the
hour exam, or we could have
It this week, which would
leave Dead Week free b u t
give us less time to study for
the hour exam. We voted to
have It this week."
Many freshmen interviewed
revealed that they had been
assigned a theme and a third
hour exam for the final two
weeks of the semester for
their English classes.
Several students indicated
that they didn't have any
exams or papers due. One stu
dent added a different opin
ion. "I wish we could have an
other exam in one of my
classes," he said. "I could use
another chance to improve
my average."
Term papers assigned
earlier In the semester are
usually due during the final
weeks of the semester. "The
problem with a term paper,"
said one student, "is that you
don't really work hard on It
until just before It's due.
Things probably wouldn't get
so jammed up if more work
was done earlier in the se
mcstcr on them."
Lab finals cause a prob
lem, although one s t u d e n t
said, "I'd really rather have
it on the last day we meet
than during the regular exam
period. If I can take it then,
It means one less exam to
study for later."
One student offered a nega
tive opinion of Dead Week.
"It's a farce. The faculty
doesn't observe It, and I don't
think the students really use it
the way they should," he said.
