First Year Stressed Over Three-Page Tutorial Paper
NOYCE- First-year Megan O'Neil is currently enrolled in the tutorial “Icelandic Sagas,” an exploration of some of the most famous sources of Icelandic folklore.
For most of the semester, the tutorial has been a great experience for O'Neil. However, at the current time, her attitude has changed, and she is generally “stressed out” about it.
“It's unrealistic how much work we're being given. We have to turn in a three-page paper by Friday of Finals Week. That's only enough time for maybe two writing lab appointments. Tops three. To make matters worse, I have an Intro Stats final on Tuesday and a take home final for Introduction to Anthropology. I don't know how I can do all this,” O'Neil said.
O'Neil added that she was “lucky as hell” to have finished her Intro to Psych class, which tested students during Hell Week. The test was not cumulative, and gave students the option to use their textbooks as well as a sheet of notes if they so desired. According to a report from her classmates, O'Neil so desired.
The paper that O'Neil has to write is supposed to be a three-page analysis of a story that she read and talked about in class. She is allowed to meet with her professor to discuss the topic as well as consult with her classmates. As of press time, it was unclear whether O'Neil will be able to finish.
