who feels like college is a little too easy?
i remember when i first attended college, i was expecting to spend about 20 a week studying. i remember hearing stories from my teachers about how many hours they spent.
what a joke. the only semester of college that is comparable to the high school studies was my freshman year in college. hard to believe, but i was a chem/bio major for a year cause i enjoyed that kind of stuff. still do. anyway, my almost 5 years in college has been some easy-pass to a better tax bracket. my GPA in college better than my GPA in high school. but i bet that i would do worse on an ACT test. it kind of disgusts me.
so what is college? well, for one it is learning how to meet prof's teaching styles. you have to learn how to study for their tests and write papers that say what they want them to say. for many, including myself, it wasn't learning how to figure out problems on your own. instead we asked the prof. it wasn't critical thinking, it was doing research and then copying their ideas down. it wasn't creative, it was calculating. i want my money back. i really think to be happy with my college experience, i need to go to grad school
if i was able to do it differently, i would have stayed at NWC and majored in ecology or botany.
if i ever teach a class, the first test that they take will be an essay test. here's the question.
water. discuss.
