[resigned to reality but still in disbelief] girl there is no way I'm paying tuition only to teach myself.
#in like 1.5 of my classes I stg the teachers don't actually teach anything related to the work they're grading#and I'm only taking 4(now three cause my seminar was a half semester) classes#my bug class actually teaches#my museum class(seminar) actually taught#my writing class.... she lectures but it's totally unrelated to our writing and imo it's very surface level and she doesn't reach a lot of#conclusions about the text as a whole#like I see more in-depth and satisfying analysis in our weekly discussion posts#I feel bad saying that too because like she clearly does want us to do well and her analysis IS interesting#it just doesn't help with the assignments she gives us#my archaeology teacher teaches but then expects us to fill in a lot of gaps in his lectures ourselves including stuff that you would need a#JSTOR subscription for lol + when someone in class asked for sources we could refer to he said 'you can probably google it'[you couldn't]#and a different time he said 'look at the slides' which didn't contain enough info to match what he requested#and like I feel in those classes I'm just succeeding because of past stockpiled knowledge/ knowledge I would have acquired anyway and it's#driving me insane because like aren't you people supposed to be helping me lol + I WANT TO BE BETTER THAN I CAN MAKE MYSELF ALONE#I WANT TO BE AFFECTED BY OTHERS#but at the same time there's no [experimental] control so it's like maybe the lectures are having effects that i'm just not registering???#april.txt#april.lore#this is the exact same fucking experience as high school except the teachers are less accessible and I'm paying for it#also in high school the lack of teachers' ability to help me was cause like... they'd try to explain things to me but I straight up didn't#understand so it was more effective to go online#not cause they didn't care/ weren't teaching their own curriculum#plus high school stuff is more google-able so it wasn't as much of a problem
