Drop Class or No?
I’m considering dropping my World History (Prof Kristy Ventre) class. It’s an online, asynchronous class where the only study material we have is the textbook. There are no study guides, no lecture videos… absolutely nothing. Just your notes, and you better hope what you wrote is on the exam. We have about 8 weeks of the semester left and I have a 66% in the class. I have no idea of how to study for this class or what to even pay attention to on the damn near 20 page chapters of detailed information… and memorizing it all just seems impossible. Is it best to just go ahead and drop this class and try to get a different professor? I really tried to memorize the material and come up with my own lecture plan, but on top of my 3 other classes, I just don’t have the time. These professors literally get their Masters and Doctorates to do all of this… They make way more money than I do, and I have to work a full time job too. It just doesn’t seem feasible to try to be the professor while also trying to be the student in undergrad, and survive.
