Two things for me. 1) The teacher comes up behind you and just stands there. For what seems like forever. Reading and reading your paper. I had to resist covering it and looking up and asking "Can I help you?". 2) I had an English teacher in HS who would just sit and wait until she saw that all of us were deep in thought and just sweating it. Next thing? "BOO!!!!!💣💥" All of us after she did that...🥴. For some it was followed by🤮

I had the opposite. I had an amazing calculus teacher. He would walk around the room during an exam. He would look at people's work and say things like, "No, no. Go back three steps and check your answer first..." and things like that. DURING the exam. I figured with him doing things like that, everyone would get an 'A+". No, we had a normal distribution of grades...Best teacher I ever had (and not just 'cuz of his testing habits).

It is a good thing. The test is to measure your understanding of the subject matter, not to penalize for your mistakes. Mistakes, especially in Maths, are very common. You may understand the topic perfectly, but mistakes can creep out inadvertently.

Of course, the pandemic made sure there's nothing “normal” or “routine” about this academic year, with some classes being in-person or mixed-mode and some remote; the need to wear masks and observe social distancing; and the restrictions on gatherings.
Talking to PennState News, some of their freshmen shared how they are navigating college during these challenging times, and ways they are finding to have fun.
"It was my dream to come to Penn State after hearing all my dad's stories about his time as a student," Angie Busch said. "It's obviously hard for everyone to adjust, but I make sure to do my part because I don't want to leave the happiest place on Earth."
"With all the protocols in place, I have been able to explore a lot of campus with my roommate. We have found a good group of friends to hang out with in a socially distant manner. We aren't going to let this virus ruin our time here."

Just because you pay for something, you feel you have the right to do whatever you want with whatever is there? The fee you paid a fee was for education, not for using microwave to doing popcorn. So, you are doing it so wrongly if you use the microwave for whatever is not authorised both if you pay 20k 2k or 200k. The day you learn that, you will have given a great step towards being a mature person
Tommy Doughty, who has one class in person per week, said things are a little different but he's "been able to adapt and so far at Penn State I have been having a great time."
"Since this is my first college experience, it's weird. However, we have to make the most of it, and I am only here for four years so I have been trying to maximize the number of people I meet. I have learned over the years that positivity is key and that even though our classes aren’t in person, there is still tons of fun to be had at Penn State," Doughty explained.

This has left me with the ability to waffle on, seemingly without any purpose, in almost anything I write. Getting up to five hundred words isn't a problem now. No, it's keep the word count down so that I can still fit it in the comments section. It's made me unnecessarily 'wordy' and unable to be succinct which is exactly the opposite to the kind of skill-set you need as an adult. Coupling this with inordinately long sentence and an ability to 'bullet-point' the information means that whilst I overcame my initial inability to attain a certain word count or, actually a page count in my day (yes, things were actually HAND WRITTEN back then) I have failed to adjust to what's necessary in the world of world AFTER university.

Didn't understand a word the stats prof said (he had no teaching ability). Got another student to tutor me. Based on the textbook. Wrote it all down. Test time came: what was on the test was not covered in class. It was not in the textbook and it sure as s---- wasn't in the notes from my tutor. I sat in the class and silently cried - with tears (and snot) dripping down onto the desk and the test paper. At the end of class I walked past the prof and flung down the test paper and all my index-card notes and formulas. 'None of what you said was on the test!' I raged, before walking out. I figured my academic career (grad school, final degree) was over, as the class was required for completing the program. Surprise, surprise - the stats prof (who we had nicknamed 'Dr. Death') actually passed me with a C+, and I was able to complete my program. To this day I think of him as being my angel.

"Our results reveal a learning loss of about 3 percentile points or ... the equivalent to one-fifth of a school year, the same period that schools remained closed," the researchers wrote. "Losses are up to 60% larger among students from less-educated homes, confirming worries about the uneven toll of the pandemic on children and families."
"The findings imply that students made little or no progress while learning from home and suggest losses even larger in countries with weaker infrastructure or longer school closures."

A minor is purely for interest, or it is supplemental to Your Major. Usually (well the smart thing to do anyway) you would want to take classes that relate to your major, but aren't a part of it. This way, when you go on to study for PhD., the classes you took for the minor help that. For example, you major in Anatomy/Physiology, then minor in Biology, then when you go on for the PhD, then those extra classes help you. There is no certificate for a minor. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, many career fields require an undergraduate education or even a post-graduate education to even get an entry-level job. It's a vicious cycle.

High school: You WILL call me Ms. Holtzhauzen. You will speak with me directly for any queries and you better not miss a single class or I will fail you. You'll be in college next year, you should get used to this. College: Uh, hi I'm Carrie. Here's my number if you wana text me any questions, just don't do it at night or on the weekend. Oh and you don't have to show up, just hand your crap in on time kay?

To be fair, high school teachers are paid to teach you about the world, and respect. Students pay for college, so they want to keep you there. A cool prof. Will make you more comfortable, and actually willing to learn.

When All You Want To Do Is Sleep, But Attendance Counts For 15% Of Your Final Grade
Vicky Z 4 years ago
I hated also especially when the professor had nothing to give and made no effort at all! Yes i will not waste my time coming to class for the teacher to show me the book in slides! If you have nothing else to provide don't make the attendance mandatory!

I can absolutely identify with this. I worked night jobs throughout my college career (all 6 years of my baccalaureate) and I had an hour and a half commute to my first college class (freshman English) at 7:15 am three days a week. I slept through nearly every class. Ended up with a B.

Arctic Fox Lover 4 years ago
And you're in a class full of introverts, so they won't say anything, which makes you unsure if it's problems with your own personal screen or if the teacher really isn't sharing, so not even you want to speak up and tell the teacher that she's not sharing. :>

I love how they assume that college students have no work experience. The majority of students I knew had jobs and in graduate school, they had jobs and kids. Not many people can afford to just not work for all of those years.

More likely: They'll sell out to larger colleges. Bankrupt is for businesses that are blindsided or wanting to trim debt. Consolidation is the norm in a contracting industry. And I'm not even very sure college will contract; they've been predicting this for 30 years and it hasn't happened yet.

There are so many very-well paying jobs in the non-college degree sector. Why vocational technology was stopped years ago baffles me....no, wit. It doesn’t. Kids were indoctrinated to believe that a college degree was the ONLY way to get a good job. School’s were convinced to shut down votech. Colleges figured out how to get more money. Gov’t figured out how to help. Student loans! Colleges increased tuition to the point of absurdity!

When You Finally Graduating College
Lindsey Judd-Bruder 4 years ago
Why does everyone always pick on McDonald's?? I know it's not the highest paying, most prestigious job. But it's still an honest day's pay. A lot of good people work there, & not just teenagers. There's nothing wrong with that. And believe it or not, it's a damn hard job, sometimes. Okay, yeah, if you've studied for years, & you're tens of thousands of dollars in debt, & McDonald's is all you can get, yeah, that would suck for you. But in & of itself, it's not a terrible, horrible punishment or something to work at McDonald's, or any fast food. It's just a job, like any other out there. People sure as hell wanna eat there, they have absolutely no problem with that. They come in multiple times a week, sometimes. And somebody's gotta serve them. But they'll come through that drive though & look down their nose at the cashier, & treat them like s**t, & then go home and post s**t like this on their Facebook walls. Have a little respect for the people who feed you, man.
Lindsey Judd-Bruder 4 years ago (edited)
Somebody's gotta do it. We weren't all meant to be doctor's or lawyers or engineers. And people gotta eat. Give fast-food workers a break. Stop f*****g shaming them. They're not bad people, they're not lazy, Andy they're NOT stupid. And somebody with a higher paying job isn't 'better' than them, simply because of the job they have. We're all just people, man. Just...stop. Please. Just f*****g stop. Okay, rant over. Sorry, touched a nerve lol.

My university reality: Practically the same as hospital food, some classes (particularly lab ones) started AT 7am, I could easily find a parking space a quarter mile away from the nearest building on campus, and I worked through most of college and largely paid as I went. Still took over ten years to pay off *principle* loans worth $7k, thanks to high interest rates and low paying jobs.
