Another student rant.

Well, that's reasonable. This is a distance learning class with the University in New Mexico I attended (I was a semester shy of a degree, so taking distance learning with them to get that degree).

There's no presentations, no lectures. Read Chapter X and here's the quiz. No inkling as to what the test will be over.

And I've had real classes like this too, where you just read.

HOWEVER.. power point presentations are wonderful. My first sociology class, the teacher did every class with a PP, and I just copied everything on it. The test was right off of that. Simple enough, and that's what I like!

As a 39 year old in school, I'm amazed at how well I do now. Hello, just answer the questions being asked and you get a damn A. Do the work as assigned and the material can't help but go into your brain...

But working with youngsters Jacqui, I know exactly what you mean. Group work can be such a challenge...at this point I don't care how controlling I appear to be. It's my grade too.

Teachers: You have my sympathies. I'm so not it! But I'm happy you are. Thanks for what you do.

i'm one of those people who never study for tests and rarely do homework but still manage to ace the test.

I thought I was going to be tarred and feathered for screwing up the curve in my psych. 101 class.

That would be me, too. Even in grad school, I rarely study. When I do, it's usually the day before or day of the exam. It really screwed with me during my freshman year, though. I had breezed through high school without studying, and it was a real shock to me when I got to college physics and chemistry. So, I had to learn to study. I still only do minimal studying. Sometimes, I wonder what I'd make if I actually put in a lot of effort.
