I really, really wish I could do this, but I just slack if I don't have a routine for going to class daily, even though all the lectures are recorded and uploaded online. It's annoying too because my school has compulsory laboratories that I have to attend. Please excuse my annoying blogshit.

If the classes are small enough some do, don't they? I had a few small classes of 20~30 people where the professor actually bothered to see who was showing up and who wasn't, but the majority of classes especially during the first two years had way too many people in them to do stuff like take attendance.

College and the education system has become more or less outdated thanks to the internet. I can learn more things faster just by googling it and studying it on my own then by actually going to classes. The only reason I need to go to college is because every job seems to require a degree.

I've passed every course like that. I literally show up on the first day, get handed the syllabus and walk right out. I even consistently beat ~80% of the class on midterms/exams most people consider challenge. Lectures are completely worthless.

Well good for you. Most people I know get a lot from lectures.

People learn through different methods, huh? Fascinating!

>> No.13348996

>>13348967
A lot of other people just kinda show up, either because they've been conditioned to or want to convince their parents they're doing something productive. It's all very fascinating.

Also if you're showing up for problem-set oriented courses you literally are wasting your time because that shit's all mechanical memory and hard information. It's literally video games.

What is your major?

If you arent benefiting from lectures that might be a problem with your professors

most lectures I've been to have been very insightful

>> No.13349056

>>13349008
Despite getting nothing from them, the majority of people still choose to attend. I could go into depth about why someone speaking for 45 minutes is ineffective and pointless for 80% of people, but I feel it's pretty needless. The traditional lecture is suboptimal in every way to digital alternatives and is nothing more than a token ritual inherited from an era without neuroscience.

Nobody actually goes through material at the pace recommended by the course. I'd estimate less than 10% are even far enough in the material to be able to get anything from the lecture, and even then they'll only be conscious for half of it. The majority of lecture content is just a really accessible version of what's in the text.

Living in a house with a bunch of weebs. We had an anime altar with figs and a giant picture of horo. We had weeb food every night and cheap as fuck rent, cuz we had way more people in than we should have had. Some people were in a hentai translation group that released every week. It is quite possible you've seen some of their work. Even managed to convert some normies into weebs.

Shit was so cash.

Maybe the issue is because you attend.

In High School, I had issues with Calc AB because I tried following lessons rather than just studying on my own.(I also had to go to the hospital for a long time due to an injury, so I failed all my classes that year but that's irrelevant)

In College, I only attended the first two days then exam days all the way up a little past the midterm. I had like a 95%+ in the class when my professor dropped me from Calc 1.

Though you're probably taking Calc 2/3/Linear Alg or higher level math, since the courses I just listed are general education stuff.

Maybe. I suppose if the class is focusing on teaching me stuff that I'm not having trouble with then it's kind of a waste of time. I'm just in my third semester (so first semester second year) now. Last year I took the following. I'm listing these because I don't know their equivalents in US colleges.
Semester 1
Maths 108 - General Mathematics 1
Compsci 107 - Fasttrack Compsci which teaches you Compsci 101 and 105. Only allowed admittance if you have prior programming experience
Physics 120 - Advancing Physics 1
Law 121 - Law and Society
Of these, I only passed Physics 120.

Semester 2
Maths 108
Physics 150 - Advancing Physics 2, followon from Physics 120
Maths 190
>Mathematics contains many powerful and beautiful ideas that have shaped the way we understand our world. This course explores some of the grand successes of mathematical thinking. No formal mathematics background is required, just curiosity about topics such as infinity, paradoxes, knots, fractals and cryptography.
Of these, I passed Maths 108 and Maths 190.

I don't believe I have a good innate mathematical ability. I kind of feel as though I should be switching my physics major for something that I can get more easily. The problem is I don't know what to do, I just picked physics because I enjoyed it when I was in high school. I want to do nuclear physics but there's really no courses offered at my college for them, just quantum and particle. At the moment I'm doing
Earthsci 105 - Natural Hazards
Philosophy 101 - Introduction to logic
Physics 211 - Mathematical methods for physics
Physics 240 - Electronics and Network Theory
