I'm 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999% positive I'm finally going to graduate this semester

YIPPIE!!!!

I'd have to disagree with you on that. As a freshman, your professors didn't give a shit about you or the class. If you failed, you failed. As you move up, you get into classes where the professors actually cared if you passed or failed and would be willing to put in extra time to help you. The classes are also something you wanted to take instead of something the university has forced you to take. Yes the classes are harder and have more impact on your life, but they are more interesting and easier to do well in.

Just had my first 2 college tests today...phailed them both

HOLY F*CK.

i think thats just a shity teacher that hates his job

It's also time consuming as balls, haven't been on here or the server in a couple days cause I've been ass raped with school and work.

college is crazy shit...just started in the fall and i'm already swamped with a shit load of work

both of you are right. whether or not your professor cares if you pass is entirely dependent upon the professor. i had both types all throughout college. it is also dependent upon the college you attend. my school seemed to have a higher concentration of the types of professors that tried to fail the entire class. i had a professor that would review with us for a test, but not give us representative questions that we would see on the exams. in fact one time he said, "i could ask you a problem like 'blah blah blah', but now i won't have that type of problem on the exam because we just covered it." it was crazy because he was the nicest guy, but just seemed like he wanted us to learn everything by reading the text. i also had a "geology" professor who would not answer certain (most) questions during class. instead he would just stare at the person who asked the question like they were the biggest idiot in the world, then continue lecturing. i took it again later with another professor who wasn't a dick.

I think that most "bad" professors assume that since you are actually paying for an education, you're probably gonna try to do well, go to class, study and learn more on your own, etc.

I've found that the professors who teach my major classes really emphasize this. Many of them never end class early and one of them has a realllllly heavy courseload. He said he wanted to make sure that we "get our money's worth," lol.

But, if it's just a retarded Gen. Ed. class that the college wants you to take, I don't think that you're inclined to do as well. Probably a psychological kind of thing. I mean, if the class doesn't really apply to what you're majoring in, why bother? Most of those professors know that most people only take it to fill a requirement, so they're probably pretty apathetic, too.

Man, I'm not ready for collage. It's my last year in high school and I don't want it to end. Hopefully I grow up. Lol

Good shit, Jaime. Hopefully I'll be at a school like that by this time next year.

I know at my current university, they expect full effort in every class... ESPECIALLY the lab sciences. Only another 2 semesters and I'll be done with my cores.

Just roll like me... 2 Midterms the next week, and rather than study, go camping and get smashed! YEAH!

LOL. Oh I was there my freshman year, birdy, and it fucked my scholarship options all up (the HOPE scholarship requires a 3.0 GPA once you hit the 30 ATTEMPTED hours mark, not the 30 earned hours mark. By the time I earned 30 semester hours, I was already at 42 attempted hours (I dropped a few classes freshman year because I was F*CKING around, getting stoned every waking hour and just basically not making school my top priority).

Now that I'm on track, nothing is gonna stop me.

I'm in the same position but except getting smashed and I'm going to sit in my dorm room and wack off and watch Law and Order SVU.

College isnt to bad I just finished up my associates with AMU had to transfer my credits from USF. And im working on my bachelor's now and I am in the military working 12-16 hrs a day+ taking 2 classes. Granted I am doing online school but still you guys who get to go to school full time dont have it to bad. I loved goig to school when I didnt have to work.

this thread makes me happy that i still have one more year of high school :)

It is now 5:17 am, and I have a Bio II midterm in 3 hours and 43 minutes.

DAMN, thats a shitty feeling. I know it well, my friend. KNOCK THAT MIDTERM OUTTA THE PARK

Imma try man, Imma try real hard.
