Holy crap, I am starting to hate my college work. Not because its overly difficult or that it takes up too much time, but rather just most of my classes are trash.
I'm a sophmore in engineering, and what my college does is throw a lot of general science stuff at you, along with other gen ed classes. While I understand that they want all engineers to have decent background info on many areas, the execution of this idea is horrible. You often end up in these overly complicated, overly difficult classes that barely teach you anything about the actual science. Semesters quickly turn into drudges of meaningless homework, homework that neither helps you understand the materials or prepare you for the exams. Exams are just all over the place in terms of difficulty and what can be expected. And in the end, there's almost some sort of curve that forces some people to fail, but can be abused if you know what you're doing. And in the very end of it all, you'll probably never use it in your major. It's all demoralizing.
I would probably say that the silver lining is that I only have one more semester to put up with this, but next semester seems like that this entire song and dance will be going out with a bang.
