than it's not test relevant, skip the class

>My world

Welcome to uni.. That's most classes, seriously this semester I had no review classes

>Professor puts the new material on the test along with everything else we learned throughout the semester

my chem course this semester went right up to the last day with new material. Calculus too. My BS required humanities course had one day of review in the final week.

>mfw

>teaching new material the last day of class
Haven't had a major-related class that doesn't do this

It's actually a good thing on comprehensive finals.

looks legit

>He goes to lectures and doesn't learn things by himself

That's the same face I make when my fucking students get pissed off because I present new material during the following:

The first week
The last week
The week before spring break
The week after spring break
"Spring Party Week"
Rush week
The week their other classes have exams

leaving me with a room full of "adults" who are using other people's money for four years of binge drinking and unprotected sex, and they refuse to learn 10/15 weeks of the semester.

people saying skip, don't forget some universities and classes enforce attendance policies. the math department at my university will drop you a letter grade if you miss more than 3 classes. it's a load of bullshit

>Lecturer says you don't need to know this concept because he's just teaching it 'for fun' and it won't be on the exam

Dr. Jorgenson, is that you?

>last day of class
>teacher brings up salt bridges
>the entire class looks at him in confusion
>"Oh, you don't know about salt bridge. Damn, you guys are way behind!"

I don't like it when professors teach a whole weeks worth of new material before giving a test on the old material.

>Exam questions based solely on lecture
>Certain responses only found in text book
>lol during exam, cum a little
>WHY?

I get two days of review in my analysis class which is cool and all considering that I go to an all right state school, big 10, and to get an A in the class we have to get a 90% or higher and we've gone through more material than UC Berkley iirc who uses the same book for basic analysis. Also they only have to get an 80% to get an A.

Wow, that's pretty fucking insane, if the class is more than 2 days a week it's really easy to legit miss 3 days and a letter grade is ridiculously fucking draconian.

>>2959424
To be fair, the quantitative requirements for a good grade don't mean shit relative to how hard the questions are.

American school seems so easy.

Every class teaches shit on the last day

>Cover topic for tops 5 mins
>barely study as I assume its irrelevant
>question based on topic worth 10% of final
>goddammit!

For my classes it seems getting an A is dependant on the class. I've gotten A's with an 85 and a B's with an 85 in other classes.

Also I've been two 3 review sessions in my time at university and none of them were during regulation class time (like 6pm a day before the final) or something like that.

Review sessions are for faggots anyways
