Teachers do their best to ensure that students do not have more than two exams on any one day. Students are normally the first to discover when this guideline has been overlooked, and teachers are usually amenable to rescheduling when students winsomely bring this to their attention. There are times, however, when circumstances may necessitate more than two exams in one day. In such cases, no “rule” has been broken by the teachers; rather, a helpful guideline is being unavoidably suspended.
For the purposes of exam scheduling, quizzes are not considered exams. Additionally, essay and project due dates are not applicable to this guideline. Efforts are made to prevent pile ups, but completion dates for these assignments are normally known well enough in advance for proper planning on the student’s part to prevent a heavy load.
