alas, it is me again. do you remember last year when i was complaining about economics??? well, i am totally avoiding a EDU 338 course at doane that i can use to get out of there instead of economics. the reason??? the teacher says that she is making me do a 5-10 page research paper and it's only worth, (you better sit down for this if you are reading this standing up) 15 POINTS!!!! that's right. OUTRAGEOUS!!! i'm not doing all that work for little points. eh, the syllabus is horrible. i already complained to my advisor and he took her side. BLASTED ADVISORS!!! anyway, i looked into going back to ccc and repeating economics.
hehehe, so the teacher that i'm going to take it from is in grand island. i already heard bad things about the one in hastings. the one i had retired and so yeah, he's not there anymore. but his class was straight reading and tests. no WONDER i failed!!! anyway, to make this blog a short one here's the story. the teacher and i had a 30 minute convo on my cell phone the other night. he told me it's more oriented towards group work (like doane) and we buy our grade!!! i love that idea. instead of points, it's a money system. he did say people have failed in there but it's set up so unless we totally put no effort into it, we should pass :-). i'm after the elusive C by the way. so yeah. we have one major research project (which i'll dread when the time comes) but it then gotes to group work once we have that part of the research done!!! yippee! and he has more than 100 points TOTAL for the whole class which actually motivates me. the other class had homework worth only 15-20 points each and some of it was MASSIVE work. can anyone see why i don't want to take the course??? my mom doesn't or does randy (my advisor) but too bad. it's not motivating. anyway, back to economics.
so yeah, i'm actually pumped about this economics class because it's 1) lecture (the other was individualized) and 2) group work and 3) only 3 exams worth 100 points each, 4) it's a night class and 5)i actually have a chance at passing! oh the tests are hard by the way, but hey, what can i say??? i'll at least get the accommodations at ccc that i need. doane doesn't offer the ones that i need *sobs hysterically* yet, somehow, i've managed to do swell there xD.
that's all, just a quick blog about economics. so for ANY of you who understands it quite well (niki--i remember you saying something about it once), i'm sure you'll be GLAD to help me get an A in that class. the reading is intense, yes BUT at the same time, i think i'll be able to learn better. oh and the reading is difficult to understand at times. so yuppers. that's all. message me on here if you want to help!!! i'll just e-mail you all my homework and you can do it and send it back *snickers* :P.
mom wasn't too thrilled about me taking at ccc because i have to throw out an elective to take that course in. but hey, i don't care. i might or might not have to make up a course at doane. we'll see. randy will let me know later on. and besides that, tuition is cheaper there and he says that education is never wasted. will i ever use economics in my life again? of course not (okay, so i will but not think about it). but it's the easiest way to get away from that blasted teacher that wants to screw me in my homework!!!! hehehe, okay, i'm rambling. gotta go. another O.o day at work. see ya laterz!!!!
suz
p.s. i'm too lazy to capitalize most stuff. i'm just typing lowercase and stressing important stuff in CAPS. bye bye now.
