Re: Build Season Finals
 

We have finals smack in the middle of build season, so as a result we don't have any team meetings that week. However finals week also means 4 days of 12:30 dismissal, so small groups of our team, such as CAD or team leads, often meet at someone's house.

Our finals always fall during the second or third weeks of the season. We usually see few or no freshman that week, as it is often the first time they have finals, so they aren't sure what to expect. On the other hand, the more dedicated veterans continue to show up and work, taking advantage of the half days and no homework that come with finals week. However, the more dedicated members also happen to be the students who don't really need to study for finals, which ends up working quite nicely.

Our finals are in the middle of build season every year. School is important, so we make sure students take the time to study and complete their school work. We have half school days during the testing week and still run full robotics meetings, so use the time between to study! That may be the one week you don't show up to every robotics meeting, grades are a must!

our team continuous to work through finals (week 2 of build season). However, it is stressed during this week that school>robotics. Throughout the season, students are allowed to sit off to the side and do homework.

In Michigan and much of the midwest, finals are ALWAYS in the middle of build season. We're used to it. Our team still holds build meetings, but we don't count anything against students who don't attend during finals week.

We have a team rule that we can never meet the night before a midterm exam day. There fore we usually lose a the second week of build, because mid-terms are usually MLK week. This year because of the hurricane and October snowstorm shutting the schools down so much I have no idea when midterms are going to be but I'm sure they were pushed back.
