My English Comp. 1 class was like it last year, the teacher seemed high and we talked a lot and got good grades for doing nothing.Got a C in the class and didn't even do the final paper.

I took anthropology class a couple of years ago and the teacher was sort of ditzy and her couse work was a lot like high school.

I took a certificate program for my job and the last class I had to take, the professor was totally useless and taught us absolutely nothing. it was a complete waste of time and money for that particular class.

InspectorExstead · 08-15-2009, 06:27 PM

Yup. Been there, done that. When I was attending community college, there were a lot of courses like that. One particular class, the teacher never took attendance, barely taught, gave us take home tests, and we even had an open note/book final. Other classes, teachers would barely teach and then our exams were insane-because they hadn't taught us anything. Over all though, high school was harder than community college.

^ It's a shame when you pay money for college and that's the type of education you get. Teachers and professors need to be held accountable.

My first semester in college I had a sociology class in which the professor was always stoned. He was later fired.

To me, Community College was like High School.

I go to a community college.I definitely like the teachers and atmosphere more than high school.I guess I just have very good teachers even though most are easy.In my first summer course I started in May the one teacher is was hilarious, only had to take a mid-term and final which was so easy and VERY quick to take.He really knew his stuff though.A lot of teachers could learn from him.It's not how much you teach, it's how much you have your students remember.

I agree with the paying to learn nothing thing.The way I see it for me though, is I deserve it after having to put up with the seven classes-forty minutes-five days a week crap I had to deal with in high school

.

I do like learning if it's interesting though.Philosophy was a blast.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 08-15-2009, 10:36 PM

Oh yeah, definitely. Some of the classes I've taken were complete jokes.

Number 9 Dream · 08-15-2009, 11:39 PM

Yeah, community college was more or less a continuation of high school; everyone called it 13th grade. The only exceptions were my Statistics and Geology classes. Those were pretty hard.

I've only had one class at my current 4 year school that was a lot like high school, and that was my Literary Argument and Analysis class. The professor canceled about 6 classes, and when she was there, we did stuff like read 8th grade level stories for a half hour and finish the class by watching youtube videos (the class was only an hour and 20 mins long, so this was pretty much what we did for the bulk of our time). The final paper was so easy, too.

History II class, it's basically an overview of the History classes I took in my junior year of HS. I'm afraid I'm going to bomb the class and take it over because I missed my midterm due to THE SCARY FLU and it was a big chunk of my grade. It also doesn't help that during Summer semester they cram 3 months worth of classes over 4 or 5 weeks. Cramming work like that is bound to show poor quality in the students' work but thankfully my university is thinking about removing the Summer classes next year so I may not have to go.
