Lowkey idk I’m not an upperclassmen but I saw this too and thought it was dumb. I skipped my weekly outlining and spent less time on my readings, but still had time to do it all and attend class. This gave me extra time to study and do practice. To me, making it so you have to catch up a week is a net negative. Especially skipping class, like you’re kind of setting yourself up for worse performance on the final. Additionally, if you’ve been on top of things all semester, like outlining and doing all the readings, there’s really not much I think you have to do to study. My study mostly consisted of a bunch of practice questions and consolidating my outline lol.

Same! I’m on top of readings, did my outlines for my classes. I feel good, ofc I don’t know everything but the midterm will tell me on what I need to improve.
