This is a class that I have on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 until 4:50pm. It is honestly one of the most boring classes that I have. I always try to go in with a good attitude, but I end up doodling all over my notebook because my professor repeats the same things over and over again. Sometimes, he gets completely off topic and tries to teach us something that has nothing to do with our lesson for the day. I don't understand what he says half the time, either. I was getting prepared to print notes off for our test today, but I had received an email that had stated he mixed up the dates and it wasn't until next week. I was somewhat upset by this because I had walked all the way across campus to print off these notes.
I don't understand why I'm even in psychology in the first place. I know it goes with what I am majoring in, but I took it in high school. Everything we're learning now, is the same thing I learned in high school. I even think it's the same book we used in high school. It's hard for me to pay attention if I'm getting taught the same things over again. We are currently learning about moods and how our brains can affect our moods and development. Same stuff I have learned before in high school. I guess I will just relearn the information and do good on the exams, hopefully. Well, cheers to a repeated class in college!
Haha! I read this and laughed because I feel the same way! I'm in your class with you I sit in the back row and text on my phone the entire class. I seriously fall asleep because I don't know what he's talking about half the time. I never took this course in high school, but a lot of the information I've heard from somewhere before or have already known it from other classes. I understand it's important to know how people think and why they react the way they do, but a lot of us know this information already. It's not brain surgery. Ha! Let's just try to do our best and try to not fall asleep every day haha ( that's gonna be a struggle.) He lets us use all of our notes and everything so that's really good. I agree, I think hes very repetitive and talks about really random stuff where I just wanna ask him, "Is this going to be on the exam, cause if not, can we not talk about it." Ha! I don't like that class I dread having to go to it. I'm sure you feel the same way! Glad to know someone else feels the same way I do about it! (:
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this I was not too thrilled, the reason being is I have to take this class next semester. When I talk to other students about this class all I hear is complaints. From what I heard the class has a lot of notes, boring, and gets off subject. I guess now that I think about it there will always be a class that is boring and I guess we can’t do anything about it. Now that I think about it I took a Sociology class this summer it was so boring. All we would do is go through the power points, and when it came time to asking us questions we were all about asleep. On the bright side I got a B in the class and I am finished with the class. So remember after this semester you will be done with Psychology as well. The unfortunate news is I will be put in your position and will be taking the class, and possibly be bored out of my mind. So on a brighter note keep your goals in mind you need this class to go into the career you want. So study hard with the notes you are given. Try to listen in class no matter how boring, try to stay focused on the lectures because it will help you with the test. Plus always remember it will be great to pass the class so you don’t have to take the class again. I wish you the best of luck!
DeleteYou're half way through it. Keep your head up because there will be several classes where you will feel this way. Unfortunately, the world puts a different spotlight on education than what it should, which causes this kind of frustration. College doesn't equal a job; it equals self betterment.
ReplyDeleteHello Allison, sorry to hear that you are stuck learning the same thing over again. May be you should consider yourself as lucky that you know everything. That means that you don’t have to study as hard as you would have if you were like me and have no idea what the subject is about. I have to take this class as well and let’s just say I’m not looking forward to it at all. I have heard that it is really hard that it has a lot of homework and is really hard to grasp. This to me does not sound like fun at all. Do you mind if I ask you who your teacher is so maybe I can try to get someone else. I feel like if I can’t understand the professor or he puts me to sleep I’ll be screwed. Well I guess there is no way around it so I will have to take it one way is the other. Well I got so much stuff to do around the house plus I’m trying to get this done, this just sucks. I’m at one hundred and ninety-two words and I’m out of things to say. So please forgive me if I just ramble on. My twins are begging me two give them a bath so we can go play. I keep telling them to hold on then one of them said hold on to what. I could not help but to laugh. Ok I’m almost there on the words yep done. latter
