My Version of an Ideal Academic Experience

You gotta do watcha gotta do. My teachers way back when were real sticklers on attendance. For every three absenses, they would reduce your grade one full letter grade, which made it hard to miss class no matter how I felt about it.

your kidding right? i love the in class with exception of my last anatomy class but that was fun at times was very humerous at times lol, but like meeting new people, it is not as good as junior high or highschool but as close as i will ever get to it again lol

LMAO I would have flunked out first semester. I rarely went to class where it wasn't required. Why sit around discussing Liturature when you can just read it and write the papers? No one cares what anyone else thinks about the symbolism of The Waste Land or the cultural ramifications of The Battle of Hastings. They just don't.

I'd think law school would be different though. Isn't part of the process learning how to present? That I would think would be best learned in person.

I guess it depends on the individual. In my humble opinion, one of the great failures of most law schools is that they don't teach anyone to practice law. They teach you bar exam subjects, and often not too well. Learning the practice of law is something that most often happens on the job, often with much trial and tribulation. [no pun intended]

"Go to class on day 1. Get the syllabus, get the list of reading materials. (I don't care if there are 3,000+ pages to read per class). Dismiss us and say - see you at the final."

At which point you would do nothing until two weeks before finals, become histaric, stop sleeping and try to live on massive amounts of nicotine, Dr. Pepper, and coffee. After a week and a half, Mischka would get a phone call from you and end up driving you to the hospital.

I'd rather just read exorbitant amounts of information and never have to deal with the in class experience. I don't want to go to class, this is a neverending thing with me.

But, I will do better this semester - even if moving and things got me off to a bad start.

You weren't in my class last Spring were you? Several students had similar attitudes about lectures. I did notice it was the people I didn't recognize that seemed to get the worst test scores.

Lavy, I can't imagine your academic behaviour changing in any way. The brightest students are un-teachable anyway.

I think every class day should be a field trip. Let's go to the zoo.

I haven't had a class where one can just read and then write, in a few years. I'm gonna have to find a new major.
