This class has been a nightmare from day one. Please just throw us a bone here so we can actually pass this thing.

I think it would be a great way for students to have the opportunity to gain some much needed extra points at the end of the semester. Working with notes to get through problems would make me feel far more confident in my abilities.

With all of the out of the blue changes they've made to this class this is one of the few ideas that I think will actually turn things around. We want a chance to do well and demonstrate what we've learned. By giving us a take home final many people might actually be able to get a decent grade out of this class. Not only that, but we also wouldn't have to get up at 7:30 am the Friday of finals.

How do you make the average on a test go down to 50%? make it short answer.

If our professor is able to change the syllabus for exam 2, then again for our whole recitation set up without student input I believe a take home final or partially take-home final will be beneficial to many students, and possibly counteract the decline in grades many people saw because of this

As a CSU alumni who graduated with a mathematics major and a recently commissioned officer in the military who was required to take physics 121, I know the stresses that ensue with this final. It's my belief that by taking this final at home students will be able to perform at their peak performance rather than being stressed by 5 other finals and not doing their best due to time constraints. If given then chance to complete this take home final I believe students scores will be significantly higher as they would have the opportunity to take their time with each problem. Similar to the work place, employers don't want their employees to rush through their problems. They want them to take their time, understand the material, and solve the problem with full capability of getting it correct.

As a CSU Alumni I believe education is great, but retention is paramount to our future graduates. For these physics students to thoroughly understand the material, a take home final would be the best course of action. As an educator you know that students usually learn better in groups and without strict time constraints. By giving these brilliant students a take home test they will be able to show off what you have taught them this semester. Please consider this learning opportunity for these students, and yourself. Go Rams!

For many of us this may be the only way we can pass. Here's hoping the instructors take note.
