Do you like studying and attending classes?
    #19155474 - 11/18/13 05:09 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Do you enjoy going to classes and studying?    If so how hard are the classes you are taking?

Do you find easier classes or more complicated ones more enjoyable?    Do you think people would think you are a dork for liking some of the classes you enjoy attending?

Depends entirely on the subject matter. Math classes make me want to commit ritual sepuku.

I enjoy class and studying if I'm alert and well-rested. If I'm tired though it's hell. My classes fairly difficult. Difficulty and level of interest seem to go hand in hand.

I don't know about the dork thing. I don't know what other people are thinking.

My enjoyment of a class relies mostly on the teacher. A great teacher can make me like a mundane subject, and a bad teacher can make me hate an interesting one

You can thank the government lenders for expensive education there allowing easy access to credit and or loans pushes the cost of education far beyond market levels.

Math is one of the things that seems intimidatig about going back to college. I feel if I can put the hours in and do good at math in can help with other areas of college.  I've found advanced math to be pretty hard for the most part tho.  It seems like getting all the details down in math can be what it's about sometimes.

Very true I am not detail orientated I look at the big picture and think creatively skills which do not translate well into mathematics.

i go to school now for business. i enjoy it. im a competitive person my nature so i feel the need to try my best. i find it easiest to do my math homework immediately after class since its fresh in my head AND you dont have to worry about doing that shit all week. dont be afraid of school. take school head on. make it your bitch.

im an adult student (31 as of today actually), and i take 4 classes a semester. the nice part about my school is that i take accelerated classes. i have 4 classes a semester but i only take two at a time for 8 weeks each as opposed to the traditional 16 week semester. this way i dont have to take 4 classes at one time.

as for people who tell you that a college degree doesnt mean shit...i can tell you now, yeah, you may be able to get by in life and actually you may be successful..every ones way of obtaining success can be different, but ill tell you what. if two people came into my business looking for a job, one with a degree and one without, id take the person who went through calculus, thank you very much.

i like going to school, because the knowledge in my head cant be taken away from me.

Check out coursera.org, they offer free classes from major universities, and I believe some classes offer certifications as well.

I really have my ups and downs. There have been some classes I've really enjoyed, some that piss me off to no end. My favorite class was probably ethics. It was a breeze, but I learned some really cool stuff from it and got an opportunity to crank out some neat little highly-opinionated essays. I tend to have more of a "love-hate" relationship with the more difficult classes. I'm on top of the world when I get it and I'm in "the zone", and I curse God when I'm stuck.

I don't like classes to be too easy either, the only thing that keeps me awake is the sheer ego trip of sailing through assignments and exams while others struggle.

I do, but sometimes they expect a lot and they fuck you over if you take a chance on some stuff.

Lecturing is kind of bullshit, I read a book and then I come to class to hear you spit rhetoric.

Definitely worth the time and money, Thanks!...

I enjoyed for a while, but by now I'm burned out on it, and ready to graduate. Some of my classes are tough, others are not. There is a lot of work that goes into all of them though, and lots of fieldwork on top of it. So I have little free time. I also cannot work until I graduate, because there is not enough time. I planned ahead for this, but living on a tight budget is also getting old. I love the field that I'm in, but I'm sick of the class aspect of it by now. The semester is almost over though, and my final semester is all fieldwork. That's exciting. The fieldwork is the best part; that's bringing it home. I've learned an unbelievable amount over the past few years, and really grown a lot as individual. I feel less & less like a student, and more like a professional these days. It also helps that I'm treated as a professional during my fieldwork.

I've been out of university for awhile, but can remember it well enough...wasn't so long ago.

I didn't enjoy every class I took, but generally enjoyed my classes and study and had a great time at university because of it.  Nothing like high school, where class was a tedious waste of time.

In general, the classes I enjoyed most were those with the greatest depth and difficulty - often classes outside my major.  My favorite classes were the ones where I struggled all term long for a B.

I took a few easy classes and hated them...usually ended up skipping all the lectures to study for something else.

soapbox:

It's very important to be into university if you're doing it.  If it's not what you want to do right now, do something else.  Maybe chill in community college for awhile.  But don't waste your time and money not learning in university...either find a good reason to exert yourself and learn your balls off or drop out for now.  There's no shame in recognizing that your heart isn't in something and choosing to do something else.

I met a lot of people in university that didn't belong there.  They were those guys who'd sit there and complain that the professor is old while I was sitting next to them with nerd chills down my spine from the mind-numbingly excellent description of pioneering experiments that formed our current understanding of the structure and function of the hippocampus.  Later in the quarter I'd have one in a study group asking "what was lecture 6 about bla bla" and my answer "Oh...the hippocampus records short term memory but not long term, just remember that" would get them the C+ they were after.  They were cool people but just didn't want to learn what they were studying.  For their own sakes, I wish they would have just left and spent the time doing whatever they would rather have done!
