On the other hand, they generally have more relevance to the course you took. At least in LS, it seemed that once the paper topic was picked, which had to occur in the first few weeks to allow for adequate procrastination, there was no point in coming to class, not even relevance to the paper. At least the test related somewhat closely to the class itself.

No argument here. But I'm not going to be fighting anyone for more class time.

Bottom line for me: I liked being done with tests, but got more out of papers.

I felt just as satisfied, if not more handing in a paper before going to drink than finishing a test before getting toe-up. But I find I retained more when I wrote a paper the night before handing it in than when I crammed for a test the night before I took it.

Besides, nothing is worse than a 24-hour take-home final.

Because you just know a certain percentage is actually using like 12 of those hours to complete it, unlike you and me who tackle it 2 hours before it needs to be handed in?
