Finals

I came up with a plan that I think that all colleges should allow their students to choose from. I believe that all colleges should give their students the option of whether or not they want to take finals. The last two weeks of school, I believe that all teachers should tell their students what their grades are at that point in time. If you are satisfied with the grade that you have in that class, before finals come up, you should be allowed to say hey I want to keep this grade. The school should allow you to choose whether or not you want to take finals. This is because if your grades are good enough and satisfying enough to you at this time, why stress out over upcoming tests, when you are already doing well in the class. I have thought about this in my previous years at my community college, and I think this would be a great idea. Not only is it beneficial to the students, because they do not have to stress out and they also can go home early, but the teachers can benefit too. This is because if they only have a couple of students who want to take their final, then they only have a few tests to grade. Not only does this lighten up their work load, but it does not stress them out as much when it comes to getting grades in by a certain time. They also get to start their vacation early when they give this option to their students. Therefore these are the reasons as to why I believe that finals should be optional.
