Today was such a busy day for me. I didn’t go to sleep last night until 3:30. Then I had to wake up at 7:00 to be ready for my 8:00 class which I had our first big test in. As stressful as it was having a big test in the morning after hardly any sleep at all; I spent the rest of the day studying for my chemistry test which was at 7:00 tonight. My friends and I all studied and went into the test hoping for the best. The first question on the test was simple. I’m sure just about everyone got it right. Anyways, the rest of the test was out of control HARD! Everyone who took it was saying how they guessed on more than half of the questions. This isn’t anything new though because the same teacher taught us the first part of the class (chem221) and now he is teaching us chem222 this semester. The first semester we had three major tests. Each class average for the test was in the 40’s. You would think that the college or the teacher would recognize that something is wrong and do something about it. Even though most of the class received B’s and A’s at the end of the semester, those grades hardly reflect upon what we actually learned. Of course nobody complained about the curve though. This semester our teacher is giving us homework at the end of each chapter that we have to do. I’m hoping this will help us learn the material a little better but so far I don’t think it has helped much. A lot of times I do the homework just to get it done and not to actually learn the material. All and all I think the only way to get through classes such as my chemistry class is to study hard outside of class and attend as many of the SI sessions as possible.
