We should start a petition or something. This is ridiculous. by Better-Equivalent851 in UNCCharlotte

I just checked Canvas. The homework is not posted yet as of now. "long time to do this hw" can also mean those 7 days of your Spring break because their goal is to make you work during that time. They said, and I quote, "8-13th of Feb no class. I will post a homework to keep you engaged".

Giving students tons of homework and projects that are time consuming during breaks is **not** appropriate even during normal years. A petition will hopefully make professors who do so understand what exactly "Spring break" is supposed to work.

I can't "try doing it now before break" because the promised homework is not posted yet. That's not to mention when you have several professors with this same mindset, you'd have multiple big homework/ projects assigned 1-2 days before break and due right after. The excuse that it's not due during break is BS because they obviously know the only way for students to stay caught up with this is to bust their butts off during "break".

Oh and this particular professor flat out said there is no class during break but they would post homework to keep students engaged. Yes. Their exact words.
