This is way too much material for the time allotted. Considering the research involved in answering even one of these questions as required, there really isn't enough time. I do have another challenging class that also has a final project etc. Not to mention a fulltime job that keeps me busy during the day. Which leaves me with the weekend to write three essays and also read the 100 plus pages for my other class.

With an "exam" like this, there shouldn't be a final project as well - we should have the choice between the exam or the project. Or at least we should be able to choose one or two of these essays not be forced to do all three in this short time period.

I was thinking the same thing. Or if he needs the grade by a certain date, we could do 2 out of 3 of the questions to make it more doable.

I may be alone in this opinion, but if everybody feels this way, perhaps we could talk to Jad about extending the deadline?
