Week 10

So we have to talk about what we have learned from one of our classes or what we have learned in general form our classes. Um I havent learned a whole lot from any of my classes... they are all basically repeats of high school to me. I took AP honor classes junior and senior year so all the gen eds I am taking are just like that. In classes that I am taking for my major they are all pre-reqs and have nothing that I want to learn either. The thing that I have learned from this first semester and that i will just have to deal with is...so professors really do not care what you think, they want you to write and redo what they think and say. Whatever happened to being told to think what you want and have an opinion. No i am not saying do not listen to the guidelines or the directions but we should be able to say what we think and not be "graded" on our personal opinions. since when are opinions wrong? I had to write a paper for my FCS 100 class last semester on a topic and we had to write what we thought of it. I had to write what the teacher thought of it not what I thought of it to get the grade I wanted. My brother had the same problem. He had a very conservative teacher for com on year and he just gave very liberal speeches, he's speeches were well written, but he always got a D on them because the professor didnt like the topic. Sooner or later this is what all university will turn into... us reproducing the ideas of professors without having our own thoughts and opinions on topics today. I really do not think that is learning.
