justanother Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Class is taking so long! I understand all the material already so these examples he's going over are taking forever. Only 50 minutes left, just 50 minutes to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGo1990 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tell me about it. I got a prof this year for a 3 hour class that actually uses the entire 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeToBeGreen Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tell me about it. I got a prof this year for a 3 hour class that actually uses the entire 3 hours. Would it make you feel any better if I reminded you that you are probably paying $20 to $30 per lecture hour in tuition? You should DEMAND that the prof lectures for 3 hours so you get your money's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try 3 courses who use all 3 hours. :|. Monday - 10pm on the dot, Wednesday - 10pm on the dot, Thursday - 10pm on the dot. It's madness I say, madness.

I understand all the concepts already. I just want the class to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I normally do try to go to class, and I don't just walk out because people think it's taking too long or is a "waste of time". If I go, I stay the entire time. It's rude as hell when kids leave halfway through lecture when the class size is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I regularly skipped classes where I was able to learn the material on my own more efficiently. It came down to time management. My grades were never negatively affected by skipping lectures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 you're more paying 20-30 dollars a class for a cheap piece of paper at the end of your degree imo, but our universities aren't true institutions for higher learning anymore, you can choose to make your experience that, but for a lot it's more like technical school, except easier and less strict (trade schools take attendance, lol). i had some labs that were worth every dime, attached to lecture that i would never go to because sleeping was worth more. also, going to class is a waste of cash a lot of the time, some people just suck at lecturing... but you stil need class x for your degree a lot of the time. a lot of times no one goes to office hours, where profs will shoot the **** with you about neuroscience, physics, whatever you're interested in, for an hour.

apache Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 yeah, some classes require you to go to every lecture or get completely screwed. contrarily, i had one prof i took 3 classes with, got 2 a+'s and a with, and attended a total of 15 lectures (including midterms) for the whole 3 classes, most obnoxius guy ever... fill in the blanks notes, what a joke, what am i like 5 years old... like i can't get the notes off some random person anyways (some people might know who this indvidual is, hehe).
