I am taking two seated courses this semester (A&P1 and nutrition) and two online courses (Argumentative writing and dev. Psych). My instructor for my seated courses told us to enjoy the break (we'll all spend it studying, and happily so). My online courses, however, do not appear to be observing the break- matter of fact, we have a rough draft for a paper due tomorrow, which is fine, but now he has added that we have to review three other student papers by the 28th- break is officially 3/25-3/31. I'm a little peeved-- my paper? Fine, no biggie, knew about that and it doesn't fall due during break. But the peer reviews he expects us to do take at least an hour for each paper we have to review. My psych prof has a quiz due during break as well as a writing assignment. Those usually require a few hours with of reading and research, followed by at least an hour of writing.
Do any of you have the same thing happening? I'm not trying to change it, but I do think it's kind of inconsiderate of them to have us working through break...especially since they never grade work within two weeks of the due dates...
Really I just wanted to vent, I wanted to spend my break with my focus on my sciences-- I'm a little upset that they aren't honoring the break scheduled by the school. Aaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!

When I was taking my prerequisite classes the online classes always skipped spring break! I don't know why they do that...
