We dont even have enough time to study well and our instructors made our finals ridiculously hard. My marks before the final was in the 70% now im just hoping I pass... and I haven't slept for 2 days.
The whole concept of BCIT is that it known to be tough so I feel that all programs try their best to make their curriculum to add pressure onto their students. But is this any effective? I am not even learning anythin anymore, just tryin to memorize and make it through /rant

I feel the other way around. Midterm and finals marks should be scrapped. It's not an effective way to learn. Students are just studying to get through it. And most of the classmates I talk to, they say they just forget about everything afterwards. It's good to have a midterm so instructors know how far you're falling behind. But it should count towards marks.
BCIT should honestly be about applied learning. When we work on projects, we learn so much. Lectures and written quiz and lab assignments, we just forget about them.
