I would just like to start off by saying that this blog post
is going to be a total rant over my first year experience class, so if you do
not feel like reading complaints, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! First of all I would
like to say that this class was NOTHIING like I thought it was going to be. I
thought it would be more of getting to know the people in the class and doing
small group things and discussing college things. Clearly, I was WRONG! I walked
into this class the first day expecting to have my first male professor, I was
wrong…oops! I sat there reading through the book before class started and
thought to myself “what the heck is this crap?!” Then, I thought “well maybe it
will be fun?” NOT! I come to find out that we have to read about basically the
SAME THING EVERY WEEK, and if sitting through two hours of class every week for
this isn’t bad enough, we have to write three journals about the SAME STUFF
every week and an ‘Academic Skills Plan’ for something SO DUMB! I literally sit
in the class for two hours and think “HOW DO YOU THINK I MADE IT THROUGH HIGH
SCHOOL?!?!” I have already figured out how things work for me and I DO NOT NEED
TO CHANGE THEM! It’s just SO frustrating doing the SAME THING EVERY WEEK! Thank
goodness this is only half of a semester. ALMOST DONE!!
Gosh after reading this you just made me mad thinking about that stupid class. i don't understand why we need to write down our studying skills. obviously we made it through high school just fine with our own methods of studying and we don't need to change them. Its funny that you thought the teacher was going to be a male because i did to! I thought Dode was like dude haha. We honestly learn about the same thing every week and it is ridiculous. No one pays attention or even wants to participate because we all think it is pointless for us to be there. Our group projects are things that i did when i was in like 6th grade. only 2 more classes. THANK GOD! The school should honestly just get rid of that class its a waste of my money and time. I talk to people in other classes that don't have our teacher and they say they don't do anything in class but talk. They do the journals in class by just discussing it with everyone. I would rather do that than write 4 papers a week for her to just grade 2 of them. I'm on a rant now and i better stop!
ReplyDeleteomg i agree with you about our first year experience class! It is sooo pointless and boring. Especially with the academic skills plan! I run out of things to say after like the third bullet, its annoying how she talks to i can never stay attention to her. She always bores me and i think it because it is a 2 hour class almost which makes it even worse! I agree i feel like they should get rid of it because it is pointless and no one does pay attention at all, and the teacher makes no sense at all. She always changes her mind like 25 times it feels like !
ReplyDeleteI know right?! I feel like it’s such a huge waste of time! Why the heck am I paying hundreds of dollars to go to a two hour class that DOESN’T MATTER! I will NEVER use ANY of this stuff. I am not even using it now while I am actually in the class! WHO CARES?! I almost feel like not showing up anymore because all that class does is put me to sleep and make me cranky for the rest of the day, because I know that eventually I am going to have to write 3 more journals and another academic skills plan. I honestly just look at the journals and all I think is “Why??” why am I doing this? WHY DOES IT MATTER??? I agree with Alyssa about getting rid of that class all together. I think it is so pointless. I would LOVE to be in that other class where all they do is talk and work through the journals all together. THAT is what I thought this class was supposed to be about. I guess I was wrong, REALLY REALLY wrong. Also, I love how the teacher is always like “gosh you guys are quiet today” WE ARE QUIET EVERY WEEK LADY! No one wants to do these pointless things. I almost feel like none of the classes run together. Like, one week we will be doing stuff with our interests and role models, and another week it will be so random as to what we do, like our beliefs on certain subjects. POINTLESS!
