Holding Finals Before Finals Week

The quarter system is already stressful enough as is, when professors hold final exams and presentations before actual finals week, it shortens the quarter and the time students have to complete assignments and prepare for exams even more. I had a final exam this past week while trying to juggle classes, work, life, etc without the benefits of the Reg being open late, and I have 3 final projects due within the next two days and I feel like I’m going to collapse. I get professors have good intentions with this and it always sounds nice to “finish the quarter early” in theory, but in practice it’s hell.
