This week was crazy!  My class workload was so much greater this week due to vague instructions.  I was not alone either; many of my peers were off base with the assignment and like me, probably spent way too much time on both major portions.  As I was getting into page 7 of my “5 point” assignment, it occurred to me that I might be doing it wrong so I asked the teacher.  What she wanted was in no way reflected in the assignment instructions, which called for a unit level of study, or about a month’s worth of class instruction.  With this new information, I quickly finished, but my peers turned in rather large reports.  For the other assignment, a group assignment, we were asked to create all kinds of stuff and put it on a Wikipage.  None of us had done this before, and our teacher didn’t even know what a Wikipage was (so why assign it?)  The assignment was hardly trivial — I think my group put in over 70 hours between us on this.  We did get full credit, but it could have been a much easier assignment.

Next week is the last week of class, and the workload is about 4x of last week.  As a result, I’m taking the entire week off from work.  Even so, I’ll probably work six straight 10-12 hour days just to complete this class on time.
