Am doing a night class ... these are some of the problems I have ... anyone the same or can add more?

Don't like being asked to complete a task in class cause I can't concentrate with everyone whispering / discussing
Would need complete silence and no interruptions to do it properly

Don't like working in a group, find the other students waste time and aren't decisive. Could do the task in half the time on my own.

Talking about irrelevant things - it irritates me, save it for the break, don't start with the self indulgent anecdotes while i'm trying to learn.

I think I'm just generally grumpy, what annoys you?

All of those make class difficult for me too. I have group projects in a class and I like to be to the point. The others are having little conversations and brainstorming useless ideas completely wasting time.

mine:
The teacher giving you a small amount of time to complete a problem and just as you're working out the solution on your own he's telling the answer.

When I'm called on to answer something. Since I'm slow with understanding some subjects/concepts: either I don't get what we're studying and I'll answer wrong, or I'm still trying to figure out what we're learning while trying to block the teacher out from being "distracting".

Classmates who feel they're so smart that they have to yell out or loudly whisper answers right when I'm working them out.

I have a problem comprehending things. I have to re read questions just to try to figure out what exactly its asking. I also hate when they ask a question and then answer it right away, what was the purpose in that. Its frustrating enough Im actually trying to figure it out and you dont even give me a chance

Guhhhhh, getting motivated to do stuff I don't have a plan of attack for. I can't bring myself to half-ass anything. For instance... I ought to be writing a paper right now, but it's a little over my head, and I don't know how to start or what to do, procrastination.
