We have a big three hour block and I'd say over half the time there's maybe 100 minutes of material across 180 minutes, yet it still gets dragged out.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's better usage of time than drilling the same point home ten times in a row. It's worth noting the class typically disengages with the content about halfway through. It's poorly executed and something the administration has admitted they have to work on. I would be more than happy to spend the whole time in there if there was actually that much content, but there just isn't most of the time. --- *The user formally known as freakofnature30* ROCK FLAAAAG AND EAAAAAAAAAGLLLLLLLE <cite>DezCaughtIt posted [p:891377294] in Professors...

The hell is the point of going to college if you don't? What's that got to do with anything? If I've learned the subject matter, why should my grade depend on whether I missed a class or not? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
