What is it that makes professors conspire to have all of your classwork due in and around the same time?
I think if I ran a class, I would either have random assignments that didn't fall on or near midterm or end of class. Like maybe a 5 - 10 page paper in the second or third week and a take home exam handed out on the last day of class, due by the second-to-last exam day. That would certainly make my life easier.
I really enjoyed the first 6 weeks of classes - applying all of that knowledge to final papers... not so much.
I could use another "Reading Week".

The "consipracy" is simply an attempt to provide you with all the relevant material before testing your skill at applying it. Speaking as a "former professor" myself, even if you set up a somewhat-random "grazing" approach to assignments, you'll still need to provide a "final assignment" - even if it only tests the knowledge that hasn't been tested yet. Maybe if the classes didn't end all at the same time? :)
