JOD - Exams

Next week is exams. Unfortunately, I really don't know how many students could tell you when they are. This is all because it doesn't seem important to tell students or teachers when the exams are.

Monday morning I inquired about the exam schedule - I figured someone should finally ask the question we were all wondering. My principal told me that she saw the schedule the previous week, which is fine, except that information wasn't communicated to the teaching staff or the students.

So, on Monday I got the exam schedule. In the brilliance of planning we have an exam scheduled on next Friday. This may not seem like an issue, except for the fact that students have the day off on next Friday.

The memo was dated on the 4th, we got it on the 11th. This is problematic in so many ways, especially since all of our exams and study guides are to be turned in (if possible) by the 13th.

Here comes the conundrum: Do I turn them in on the 13th since I started working on them last week knowing that exams would come eventually or do I turn them in according to how long it would actually have taken me to if I first started planning on the 11th? I see pros and cons to both course of action, but can't quite decide which one I should pursue. What do you think?
