I decided, since I need to keep a 3.6 gpa, that I would take intermediate algebra as my first college math class....

BIG FUCKING MISTAKE.

You know what we covered in class today?
The coordinate plane and graphing equations.

I'm horrifyingly bored, and just want to tell other students that unless you are an absolute idiot when it comes to math, just test out of it and take some harder classes. It's really just a waste of time.

I know those feels OP, sorry bud. But! Since i'm not you, i can sit back and laugh.

At my university I always advise people to cheat if necessary on the placement test to get into at least calculus. Unless you're a retard you can pick up the algebra and trig and such as you go along, plus the remedial classes are general full of tedious busywork and taught by instructors (rather than professors) who are old and disgruntled at their shit job. No point wasting time and money on bullshit.

so? just get the syllabus and only show up for the tests. Its college not daycare.

Word. I'm taking a proof based approach to Calc 3 and Linear algebra my first semester of freshman year and i'm like, "Damn myself and my lack of confidence. I'm so bored. Why am i not in abstract algebra right now?"

unfortunately, in these 1000 level babby classes professors are accustomed to low quality of students. Pop quizzes to make sure students come to class.

Welp. gunna go be sad that I'm not that smart.
sure wish I was one of you cool guyz.

If you're bored in linear algebra your class sucks. Possibly you took the engineering version?

Well i was mostly being ironic. That class is killing me. Like i said its proof based. Its designed almost exclusively for math majors

Not sure if that's tongue in cheek or not, but it really was about my lack of confidence. I thought "college is hard", and underestimated my skill. I'm not even a science major, and this is not worth my time.
