*bangs head against wall*

Melf, tell me... Do you make your students turn in two essays on the same day?

I'm in English 101, my teacher is, and damn it's a pain in _the_ ass. I'm getting exhausted!

In the same week maybe, but not the same day, unless it's something we were working on in class. If it was assigned to do at home, I like to give my groups some time to really work on them.

Usually though, I like to do the writing in class, so they can ask me questions and I can offer instant feedback. That helps avoid the head-banging you're going through now. :)
