So I have ~30 pages worth of journal entries for a psychology class tomorrow. basically, I have to go through my notes, and write 3 pages a week verifying that I understand the material. I was supposed to do this throughout the semester. I did not. Why?
Because it is busywork thats why.
Fortunately it isn’t hard to do, but I am going to have to average about 3 pages an hour. It’s worth 40% of my grade.
Fuck college. Such a waste of time. Not money though, that degree is goddamn worth it. got my superpower with me though.
wish me luck.

I had to do a journal for a French class. Something about news storeys I think. Only I blew a heater hose on the way to the first class, got there fifteen minutes late, and missed the explanation. There was absolutely no mention of it again until two weeks before the end of term, at which point I decided I couldn’t be assed. The prof confronted me upon handing in my exam concerned that she hadn’t received mine. I shrugged and said I didn’t have time, and it wasn’t worth it. She was flabbergasted and/or appalled and/or furious that I would just throw away 15% of my final mark, and chased me out into the hallway insisting I sit down this instant and write something, anything. This was after I had finished the exam a half-hour before they would let me out, flipped it over, leaned back in my chair until I was free to go. Obviously I wasn’t sticking around.
I still got an 80-something in the class. Don’t think I would have done that for a 40% project, though...

I’m seriously considering writing an entire page about how it is a bullshit assignment. Ive basically done that before in an english class and the teacher told me it was one of the best papers he ever had submitted.

Some people like seeing feedback on their assignments. Chances are good though you’ll just be pissing off some poor grad student who has to spend all of several days reading pretty much the same shit over and over again.

Idk. He implied that he would be reading them himself (although I doubt it, 30+ pages from 20+ students = 600+ pages.) I kid, but damn if I don’t want to. Given that he is a great proffessor otherwise, I may just cut him some slack.

I’ll admit to telling my students to do my work frequently (though they get upset I DON’T give busy work, wtf) and totally failing to do a BS journal for a re-certification class.

Your students need their heads examined. Realistically, homework should add some sort of value to learning. Most students want credit to boost their grades probably.

I think that’s part of it. A lot of them aren’t used to social studies education where you don’t get ‘the answers’ from the notes.

well kudos to you for trying to get them to actually think for themselves.
