the honors college at Adelphi University. This semester i'm only taking 16 credits....but from here on out, i think it's going to be 17...maybe 18 (i'm getting my masters in 5 yrs, so it's a lot because of that)
what about you?
five years of school?? wow. that is a mad long time.
not for a masters...6 is standard for a masters
Gee now I feel lazy! I'm only taking 12 this semester, I took 15 last. I set my schedule up so I can get a part time job because my dad told me I had to.
don't feel lazy...college is hard even at 12 credits. That's 4 classes right? I took 4 classes one for my second semester i think...i think it worked out to 13 credits. And, that was still not easy
Yeah..I mean, it's not super easy where I have no work or anything (especially since two are lit/writing classes) but I could probably do 15 as well. It just makes me very anxious when I have too much to do, even if I have enough time.
if i did all my work, i probably wouldnt be able to handle it. I am an eXpert at cutting corners. I got a 98 on my history midterm and a 99 on the final last semester....and i picked the book up for the first time one week before each. If i actually did the readings...well, then i wouldn't have much time to do anything else...i dont know how some people do it, but then again...people always tell me they dont know how i do it
Wow. I could do that for math courses, (I didn't even really start seriously attending the lectures until I was a junior and taking graduate level courses), but there's no way I could do that and get an A for a history course.
I think a lot of it also has to do with how good the teacher is. If the teacher doesn't talk about the subject in class, i can't really get away with it. I guess i'm just one of those auditory learners, because i've always been able to get away with just listening in class and doing minimal, if any reading, and still get A's.
I do most of my reading. I don't really need to for Sociology, a lot of that stuff is common sense to me. However, when I was in psych I had to read because all that brain stuff was completely foreign but some of the other concepts weren't. For literature I just like reading and I want to do good in it because I want to be a good teacher and really know that material. I have to read a lot when I take history because while I enjoy the subject I'm very bad at it.
