Clarkson "Dead Week"

We the students of Clarkson University are disappointed with our schools current Dead Week. Professors are not supposed to be giving examinations before finals week. However, this is not enough. All students are still on information overload with the amount of homework, projects, quizzes, presentations, and new material coming at us throughout this so called study week. We hereby propose a set of strict rules and/or regulations ending the garbage disrupting our studies. Finals week is stress enough. We would like to see all professors have their curriculum completed and no assignments due by the beginning of the week. Final projects should be in place of final exams and due during finals week. Finally the last three days of dead week should be comprised of no classes and extended professor office hours only. This would give students a fair chance to study for their generally cumulative final examinations and show the true potential of Clarkson University students.
