my last science teacher was a 40 year old male. The "popular" girls would sit at the front, be sweet talked by him & every now and then learn some science. meanwhile the rest of the class sits at the back saying "what the fuck is a neucleus?!?!". It was year 8 so it didn't particularly matter but still, having a good teacher, working hard and getting a good mark is better than watching your science teacher pick out the girls he will potentially molest. | ||

Read the book it helps out and it gives you things section by section. So you can relate things a little bit easier. And haha "smart asian friend". :p I dunno, I've had a pretty good success rate with profs that actually care and do a good job of teaching. Maybe my standards are just low, but if they can communicate in a way that everything I need is presented, and that I actually get something out of the class, I'd say that's an OK job. If they go above that and actually teach in a very effective way that I can do assignments by just referring to my notes, that's a bonus. I'd say about 2/3 of my profs have done a good job Oh yeah, and yes to the reading the book part. Helps a shit load. Even in classes that you understand pretty well, reading the book to get an idea of how things are usually presented is good to practice, as there WILL be times where you'll need to flip through a bunch of books just to figure out how to do one stupid assignment. It's a time consuming exercise, but it's a good idea, and it'll provide lots of details that the lectures just won't cover (and likely fill in any gaps of understanding that you may have) | ||

Wait until university where people who arent naturally smart get 65% even with hours of studying. High school is mostly about how hard you work, not how smart you are. Now you are in a class that it doesnt matter how much you study, you actually need to be smart. thats what university is like. I suggest you get use to bad grades now because if you dont you are in for some real pain in university. Depending on what courses you take in university, many may be just taking notes off of powerpoints and trying to write down the extra shit the prof says. You will have to figure out on your own what is important and what isnt. You will have to do extra reading and shit. No more easy mode. Toughen up, because your profs will not babysit you. | ||

THE TEACHER, is complete shit! Here's a routine of the day, walk into the class room, sit down take 3 pages of notes from a power point. Bell rings go to next class. That's basically every class in University. Get used to it. If you don't understand the material, ask for extra help outside class. Apart from that, there's nothing you can do about a bad teacher. | ||

Bell rings go to next class. Welcome to the university!!! Hopefully for you the test is base on a curve. It reminds me of course in university that are overwelming with information. In the end, I learned a lot even if I could only grasp 60% of it. | ||

Also, read the textbook or something. What you described is basically about 90% of all university classes. You read the book, try to understand as much as possible before going to class, and hope the professor explains the part you don't know in lecture. If not, bother him to high heaven during his office hours. | ||

If they're curving on a standard curve, then A is 2 SD away, 2.5% of the entire fucking class (assuming they do what my university does, where C is the mean). Flat curves are fine, but either it's standard or it's no curve. Also, read the textbook or something. What you described is basically about 90% of all university classes.

Now you are in a class that it doesnt matter how much you study, you actually need to be smart. thats what university is like. a) I don't have sufficient info to address this properly, but from the guy's description, someone that studies random material and happens to study the right insignificant points are the ones that luck out with the mark. Remembering random petty details that aren't even covered in the class isn't what I would consider smart. Then again, you can argue that some uni courses are bs like that, so I won't pursue this any further b) Again, your experience with school seems to be vastly different from mine. It differs from school to school and major to major, but in my experiences being able to get good marks in a undergrad engineering program is way more about hard work than it is about natural ability. Don't know about any other programs. Maybe it's true with social science. Maybe it's true for math. But not true from where I come from. That's what I felt anyway. | ||

If she really is the way I think she is, she doesn't know anything and her tests are so hard because she just opens the book, looks at a random sentence, puts that sentence on the test with a blank word, and if you don't fill in the exact same word you are wrong. In essence. I bet she couldn't pass her own tests from last year. | ||

Option 1) You can keep bitching at/about the teacher. Yes this makes you feel great, this is what this thread is. No this won't get you anywhere, in fact you'll stop paying any attention, making things worse in the long run. Option 2) You take the initiative and start teaching yourself. Find the syllabus, find textbooks, look up communities for students where they discuss courses (If they have this in Australia, which they do, then I'm positive a similar thing exists in Canada). Your teacher isn't helping you, or at the least her method of teaching isn't working with you. If you are truly committed to the 80% average, option 2 is the way your'e going to have to go. Edit: Also, you could try explaining the situation to your parents. It's possible they will be able to help you out with buying textbooks, maybe organising tuition. This really depends on a lot of factors though. | ||
