I am sure that most of you have many exams that week. I, myself, have three other exams, all of which are engineering exams. I am sure most of you have at least two other exams that week. Is it worth doing poorly on this exam to have a few more hours of fun over break? I say a few hours because that is the amount of time you will have (and quite possibly less) to study for it if you have it before break. Be smart about this and vote for after-spring-break. Don't be that guy that willingly fails a class, so he can have a little more fun in Florida on the beach in his plaid shorts, flip-flops, white sea-shell necklace, Livestrong wristband, popped collar, and backwards visor -- which his future goes down the drain. Be the guy that makes the academic and smart decision.

Also, if we take the exam before break, it will be on the Friday right before break, which means everyone that planned on leaving early (myself not included) gets screwed. Even if you are a douche bag that doesn't care about his grades (which would be, point and fact, the only reason to vote for before-spring-break), do you really want to be the person that screws his academic classmates and his classmates that want to leave earlier for break? It is up to you.
  
 
Take the exam after break. Peace, out.

Hey, guys, I have noticed that on the poll for when the second exam should be, before-spring-break is winning by one. Seriously, guys, let's break this down with some logical reasoning.

I am sure that most of you have many exams that week. I, myself, have three other exams, all of which are engineering exams. I am sure most of you have at least two other exams that week. Is it worth doing poorly on this exam to have a few more hours of fun over break? I say a few hours because that is the amount of time you will have (and quite possibly less) to study for it if you have it before break. Be smart about this and vote for after-spring-break. Don't be that guy that willingly fails a class, so he can have a little more fun in Florida on the beach in his frayed plaid shorts, flip-flops, white sea-shell necklace, Livestrong wristband, popped collar, and backwards visor -- while his future goes down the drain. Be the guy that makes the academic and smart decision.

Also, if we take the exam before break, it will be on the Friday right before break, which means everyone that planned on leaving early (myself not included) gets screwed. Even if you are a douche bag that doesn't care about his grades (which would be, point and fact, the only reason to vote for before-spring-break), do you really want to be the person that screws his academic classmates and his classmates that want to leave earlier for break? It is up to you.

Take the exam after break. Peace, out.
