due to covid cases rising in large amounts, many people are missing out on the most important weeks prior to midterms and will be required to take these important tests missing 5-10 days of knowledge. those who unfortunately catch covid between now and midterms may have to make up the tests at some point. these facts can take a toll on many students mental and physical health. worrying not only about their friends getting sick, but the potential of them, and their families getting sick as well. taking this into consideration, midterms adds an unfair amount of stress to everyone's plates. so hopefully, administration can become aware of this and possibly make the change we all need and want.
