There's gotta be a better way.

It seams that when every a semester of school comes around I tend to say something about text books. You know just how useless, or overburdening they are. This time though I thought I would just talk about lack of effectiveness of college all together. My biggest problem with text books, and teachers in college is that I just find it a rather stupid way to do it. Not only do I find it a wast of time, but of money, and an actual learning ability. To tell you the truth I find the idea of letting the text book be the main focus of homework rather lazy, and in no way thought out.

If anything I think it's just way for teachers to dodge doing their real jobs. Teaching. Unfortunately it seems like so many teachers only talk a bit about the topic in class then set you out to do the real learning and work on your own. Not only do I find this ineffective, but burdening. So many teachers teach this way, and it is a pain in the ass to have to read more then one text book, plus all the homework with the little time I have for myself as it is in the day. So yeah thanks professors for wasting my time. Time that would be more open if you would do your job, and actually teach or review things in class.

The best way I think to learn is hands on in class. Some people learn better from reading text books, but one things for sure I'm not one of them. Not only do I read slower than most people I have a hard time keeping focused on them. Why? Because they are beyond boring and spend more time rambling on about stuff then actually teaching me. I swear finding actually information in a text book is more like reading Where's Waldo, or in this case Where is the Actually Information?

I have nothing against a little homework. You don't always have time to write an essay in class, but it's when you have to write an essay or two, read a few text books, do a quiz on the text books, plus what ever else you got that things become beyond ridicules. Ultimately I think the center of learning should take place in class itself. I find it much more effective to take notes in class, and be able to use them. Because you will remember so much more from you notes then reading a damn text book any day.
