"Feel good" crap

Post Reply New Topic

So, I'm finally going back to school again, and have already changed almost every class I'm enrolled in after doing some research to back up my long-time inkling that I might have HFA. I've gone from B.S. Nursing prereqs (Nutrition/Psych/Sociology/Statistics/Chem/Natural History of Vermont), to courses for a B.S. in some science degree as I don't see my interest in Nursing lasting/working well w/ my (undiagnosed) HFA. Now I'm taking Chem/Calculus/Physics/Nat. Hist. of Vt. (I'm simply interested in the last).

So, I log into the NatHist class today (it's online), and this entire week is:
1 - Read a couple pages on Bloom's Taxonomy [Bloom’s taxonomy of learning objectives is used to define how well a skill or competency is learned or mastered]

2 - Take a VARK Learning Styles survey

3 - Read some crap on how to use a library, and take *3*!!11! quizzes on it

4 - Write the prof. an email telling her what we learned this week.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is utter shite and not worth my money ($540/~14 weeks of instruction)? And, what can I do to avoid this namby-pamby feel good crap in college? I'd be ridiculously happy right now just to have a professor who'll simply throw information my way and see what sticks.

Don't give up so fast! Maybe the prof is trying to find out what kind of brains are in the class this time. I understand the frustration, but maybe there's still hope for this class. Could you drop in to talk to the prof? That was never my favourite activity but it can accomplish a lot. How about you throw some info at prof, and see what prof throws back?

Tell them you'll withold the cheque until somebody actually starts teaching you something. If they have your money already, ask for it back.

Money is their prime motivator here.

The love of Money is the root of all evil.
