I hate to ask, but what level is this class? Is it just a 1-200 level where they figure the majority of people will be blowing class off?
More to come after I find out (I also find that terrible!!) |

Now that is crap. Is she a tenure track professor.... with a PhD? How long has this prof been there?
For a 300+ level class that is purely unacceptable.... I dont even know what to say regarding that. I would consider writing the administration over it. College is expensive, why waste it on A&E when you already have to pay for cable?? |

Any book written by me would deteriorate into cursing and jibberish before the end of the table of contents. |

if you'd want better education, you'd try to get to a better college. otherwise, you should read a lot of books on your own to keep yourself in the upper echelon.
there was this ridiculous situation: physical science professor said that g (the freefall constant) equals to 9.8 m/s, and i said, it cannot be so, because m/s is speed and g means acceleration, which means, it's m/s^2. she said "well, which year edition is your textbook, cause mine is the latest!". |

| just pass the class, get a decent letter grade then proceed to next set of classes till you get a piece of paper saying you graduated and finally you can get a decent paying job that requires that piece of paper saying you graduated. thats whole point of school anyway imho..get a degree then get a job, no other point. schools waste of time..memorize random get a grade then proceed to next set of classes. i'm sure alot of you will disagree with me here, but i really don't give a . were all in it to get a 9-5 job in the long run, its sad but true. |

But when your job requires you to know historical events... the 700+ that you paid for that class would be pointless. In your idea, why even goto school? |
