So I'm not going back to school for the rest of the year. They cancelled finals. We still have to do e-learning. All of our tests are going to be open note. That's it guys I can bring my GPA up.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I know it annoys some people, but it was too late to edit my previous comment.

I'm usually intermittently free around 6 to 10 p.m.

They manage it by accusing 23 students out of 30 students of cheating even though they hadn't because I'm guessing some issues with GoGuardian or GoFormative(this just happened today and I am very annoyed).

we get an A for the marking period just for completing all of the work we are assigned lol
no tests either... what if teachers were to give open-notes tests instead like this year's AP exams

I know that the tests we are doing in school, are being taken as "open-note" tests, as the class average went up 22% in Bio Honors, and like 10% in pre-calc.

Makes sense to me!

All of our classes are still being graded like we're still in session. Most of our tests are open note though - it really depends on the teacher. We're not having Zoom calls or anything, but teachers are required to have "office hours" where people have the option to visit with teachers and discuss assignments and whatnot. I'm not super worried about my grades right now, but it's just frustrating because everyone is doing things differently. My daily routine has turned into "check Canvas and hope that only one of your teachers has posted a surprise assignment that's due today instead of all of them".
