Why Do We Have To Wait So Long For Finals Grades?

:angryfire sorry to vent, but i feel that after a stressing semester of fundamentals and being well over ready for a break, why should i have to go through still being stressed? i mean our school does scantron tests so how long could that possibly take to get the results, not to mention that i took finals on thursday and having to wait to monday or tuesday to get my grade? that is ridiculous if you ask me! i want to relax a bit, but at the same time i am soooo scared of seeing my grade. anybody with me?

We are so spoiled now with grades being available online. I remember when the paper copy you got a week later was more than just a formality. But I totally understand the stress, I have been known to check the computer all day, every 15 minutes when waiting for a grade - now that is ridiculous.

:angryfire yes!!! I agree! we JUST took our final today (monday) and we have to wait till thursday ;/ I have been a big ball of stress for allll semester can't they just give us our grades so we can finally begin our vacation and HOPEFULLY relax ( or start with a plan B) I'm going crazy and can't think about anything else! any suggestions about what to do while waiting for grades to make the time go by faster? lol ok good luck to all and thanks :)

That sucks! I would go crazy too, but we take our exams on the computer, so as soon as we hit submit we see our grade.

Well, I edit my previous comment.

Last semester, they didn't show us our final grade because they didn't want us to "give up" if we failed one class and become so distraught that we didn't study for the other classes.

Apparently, they are doing that again this semester, but I don't know why; one class this semester has nothing to do with the other if you ask me.

... is your grade going to change if you see it sooner or later? what's done is done. why not just go take yourself a bubble bath and get some light reading material and get a head start on the relaxing :smilecoffeecup:
