It could be a little problematic having it all on the same day and/or time period in my opinion.

Blame university policies. There's a regulation that requires all classes whose finals are worth more than 30% of the final grade be registered through the college's system in order to have their final scheduled during finals week (six days of pure hell starting on December 5th). The system then uses an algorithm to determine the timing of each class's final so that no student has more than two finals per day.

Some of my professors are going around this by making the final worth only 20% of our final grades and administering them during normal class times. As a result, I have my anatomy final, my intro to nursing final, AND my intro to nursing vital signs test out (which I need to pass in order to pass into to nursing) within the same five and a half hour period.

Pretty much, I'm spending my Thanksgiving break studying and taking people's blood pressures (and/or cutting off all blood flow to my sister's brachial artery).
