MAKING THE GRADE The Academic Grind “The test on Monday will only cover the first 47 chapters ...” “Be sure to cite all 25 of your references at the end of your paper . . . ” “Please complete exercises six through 12 by our next class meeting ...” “You’ll only need to study two — maybe three — days at the most.” These words strike fear in the hearts of students. But, then, isn’t that what college is all about? Between sleeping, eating, and socializing, aren’t students expected to attend at least a few classes? Professors, students, tests, notes, chalkboards, projects — these are the elements which make up academic life. And despite what many students may claim, the majority are quite serious about getting an education. Everywhere on campus — in the classroom, lab, library and LRC — students can be found hard at work. And many times, the dedication pays off with a coveted A or a not'SO-bad B. Still though, wouldn’t it be nice — just once — too hear something like “there will be no test on those 47 chapters. And I’ve decided to cancel the final, too.” — Mindy Schneeberger Academics Arts Section Editor SOMETIMES IT'S NOT ALL STUDYING AND WRITING . .
