College Students! discussion

So are any of you having this feeling by this point that some of your classes this semester just might kill you?? Which classes and why?

I have this Brit lit class that just might kill me because firstly I don't like any of the books we have read so far and the teacher is insane and thinks that we are all english majors or something. lol.

Thankfully I have all good classes this semester..last semester I had a load of those types of classes!

I'm thinking that my thesis class might kill me. Even though the paper only has to be 15-20 pages, I'm not exactly where I should be because of all of my other classes.

And next semester might kill me as well not just because of the sheer number of hours I'm taking, 19, but only because I really don't want to take a lab science and I'm taking a lit class with my favorite professor...but he's the one that makes you read like 10-12 novels (and doesn't say, "OK, read 50 pages by tomorrow"; it's like, "Hope you read enough to keep up!").

I don't really have any classes that SHOULD be killing me, but I'm falling behind already because of so much stuff going on plus all my classes. I need to get it together. I'm taking almost all core classes this semester anyway!! Sheesh.

All my classes are killing me, from sheer boredom. I am so bored through all of them. It doesn't help that there really isn't anything correlation with my career choice but for some reason they are all required for the degree.

Studying for the LSAT, test on Dec. 6.

Good Luck!

Good luck!!! eeek lol

I'm taking two classes this trimester. One doesn't seem too bad but the other one is a killer! We have lots of assigments to hand in (some are more difficult to do than others) and the professor expects us to read the Wall Street Journal daily. I don't mind reading the newspaper it just takes me soo long to read it.

It seems like if there is a killer class in each semster, i end up messing up in the beginning but then coming back in the end, its weird.

lots of assignments are good, because then the points add up and getting a bad grade on a test will feel not as bad, but reading the wall street journey i could never do maybe skim through it but not read it lol

Biology.
I'm pretty good at science, but the teacher is just plain psycho! I study for hours and the highest I've made on a quiz is a 76 :(
Maybe Speech too, because talking in public freaks me out.

I totally agree. I get freaked out speaking in front of people too. I have no idea why, it shouldn't be frightening, just is.

I know right? What's even sadder is the fact that there are only 8 students in my class!

She kept going over plagerism over and over and over again, it was painful, and now i have this psych teacher that makes class boring, totally, going over the notes takes forever, the 2 hour duration feels like a 6 hr duration i think one of these nights my head will explode

Well they are called quizzes but they are actually the tests. There are nine of them and those are the only things going towards our grades. The teacher is very strict, doesn't like to answer questions, makes everyone feel stupid, and is just very weird overall. It's just awful.

geez sounds like a class from hell or something, doesnt like to answer questions? seems to me this teacher has a personality disorder, but you will get through it, is this class in the morning?

oh believe me, I think it is.
A personality disorder would explain so much!
Yes, it is in the morning, the very first class of the day.

yea i took a morning class, never again, now i take night classes where the teachers are less strict and tests are easier, i took a morning class once, and the highest grade that most people got on tests was like a 70, even the christmas bonus was tough, that teacher was crazy too, she kept going on and on about the importance of securing the crime scene so that the evidence is not tempered with, yes i can understand if she told us once or twice but not every sec of the day.... mornings are bad, nights are better

i think mornings are bad because most people are cranky in the morning and i guess take their anger and frustration out on their students and nights teacher are like zombies trust me they are, they let you leave early and they make the tests easier to understand

Night classes are much better, I agree. I think that the people there are more mature overall and that the teachers go somewhat easier on us :)

i only took two morning classes ever, and now its mostly night.

I had evening classes this summer and it was nice. But there were those adults who worked full-time that showed up late every single day. And they weren't exactly quiet when they came in.

Night class are the way to go. No amount of coffee can ever drag me out of bed before 9; that's why my two morning classes are awful.

to keep myself awake at night i buy those AMP energy drinks and i am good to go, i actually have a test to study for, and its tomorrow night

The class that totally killed me in this past semester was college algebra. Now I have to repeat it in the summer. =(~

Portuguese Political Thought. I would never have guessed people thought so much in the 19th century.

Mass Media Law. My teacher is a nut, my classmates are disgusting and the content is bogus. I hate all law related classes anyways, so I am not a happy camper. Only 2 more weeks of the class though!

In this upcoming fall semester it will definitely be Principles of Botany. Its really my only difficult class for next semester.

We don't schedule our classes until August... since our entire tri-college consortium has under 5,000 students total, and my own college has only 1,300 students, I guess they figure it's easier to do when we're all living there already and can just go walk to our advisor's office instead of calling.

Ohhh. My college has around 3,000 xD. We did our schedule in April.

All of them? Calc will probably be the worst.

I am done with this semester finally! The killer class was my Russian History and Politics class, we had to write so much!

early morning class lol

Oddly enough, I am not enrolled in school this quarter. But, my mathematics studies will probably be the death of me since I have to keep it up or I will forget everything by the time I am back in school.

My calculator is ever so tempting but it is a little too high-tech and is actually banned in certain classes.

Right now I am pretty much finished with my semester! Next semester I am taking math and well I suck at math so it will definitely be my worst enemy! I did choose the best professor that I could find so hopefully that will make a difference. I still haven't decided if I will do part-time or full-time. Full-time makes me cry lol especially when the workload is demanding.

Well, I only enrolled half of the regular load this semester. I'm taking things lightly so hopefully I won't have any fatal class. But my Property Law class is a major subject so I'm trying to perform well in this class (if I could). XD

Yeah that is a good idea. I am on the fence about going full-time next semester. I always get nervous taking on full-time with complex classes. I always contemplate taking part-time because I don't want it to be too much.

Wow that sounds pretty cool and exciting, Marie-Eve! Major tests are always scary but I bet it is a very interesting course of study!

I have two classes this semester that will kill me, Bio and Chem. The amount of work given is crazy when they don't lecture in class so at home they expect 3 hours of lecture to be watched
