The future of learning good

Karin, the super cool lady in our class, had told me that online classes at Stony Brook were pretty terrible. I was looking forward to this one this summer because it would mean less time commuting. Wow. What an afwul, awful waste of time. Probably the best example of how ludacirs this concept is, is how the last midterm just went. Its a multiple choice test you take online, 50 questions, with I think like 40 min. to do them. The questions are, verbatim, given to you in the "lectures" online, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an A doing nothing more then spending a half an hour before each test and going over said questions. I'm not learning anything or engaging my brain. Just getting some arbitrary points, towards an overall arbitrary grade. The funniest part is that for many people, as posted on the communication posty thingy, took the test and were only offered one choice on thier multuiple choice questions. Which were wrong. And they failed. Now these people, who I'm sure are plenty busy have to take it over again. It's just silly. This kind of stuff should not be the basis for how we judge individual intelligence/work ethic.
