Comments: Sophomores / "Yes"
Text Box: "I'm in the Academy because I expect to be challenged and the workload I receive is appropriate for the program." (Many comments indicated that the workload was anticipated and accepted) "Though it's (the homework) undeniably elevated, it's plain overreaction to lessen it. It defeates the purpose of readying us for college and beyond, and reducing that would be in direct opposition to the cause." "We do not have very much homework at all, it is that some students are just lazy and complain." "I'm pissed that I don't have weighted grades. Retards have higher class rank than me. There is no incentive to be in the Academy. I am wasting my life. Do something." (several weighted grade requests..similar but less colorful language) "I think that the question that sparked this survey is completely stupid. Do you take our atheltic ability more importantly than our future?" "I am a very well rounded person." "I am tired of doing only homework all the time and not getting good grades." "The workload will help me have good time management in college." (Many comment indicate insight and appropriate assessment of college work) "If I had qualms with the work I would have simply gone to a pushover school like Guilford." (Lots of Guilford bashing) "We deserve much more credit for our efforts in the Academy."
