So since the beginning of this semester I've barely attended any classes and I haven't really been self studying opting to rot in bed for days on end and occasionally watch shows/movies till 6am... For context I've been dealing with depression for a very long time and no I'm not treated for it my parents don't think it exists after all :) Anyways fall semester I was okay constantly on the grindset then I got sick and couldn't attend classes and failed some exams then all my willpower disappeared. Spring comes alonge and it got so much worse... And it's definitely screwed me over cuz I've missed multiple quizzes and assignments.. but I just don't have the motivation to do anything. And now I have midterms and I haven't studied for it. Part of me is thinking of just skipping some exams and maybe going for a make-up idk maybe by then I'll get my shit together... kinda wish I could take a leave of absence for the remainder of the semester but alas I can't, just stuck in this hellhole and my so called friends and roommates aren't helping either it's like their thoughts are essentially "gee I wonder why this person keeps staying in bed all day zoning out, not Taking a shower and not doing anything else everyday hmmm what could that possibly mean? Oh they must be lazy! Lemme shame them for that!" I'm just so done with everything and Everyone

I’m thinking of spending some of my summer time studying O chem. I took it once, and it was the first time in college I consistently did not know what was going on in the course. It was the first time I failed every single exam, and it was the lowest grades I’ve ever gotten. So I am retaking it, but obviously I need to prep.

I just got a rejection call from an internship that I applied for, even though I had good (and relevant) experience for it and completed two interview rounds. How much experience do companies want college students to have? To even get an internship nowadays you need experience. Imagine needing experience for an internship. I’ve been busting my ass trying to accumulate part time work and internship experience ever since I changed majors 3 years ago, and my experience still isn’t enough? Like what else am I really supposed to do?

It feels like the only way to get a secured internship is through a program like SYEP (Summer Youth Employment Program) that actually seeks to place students in an internship. I got my first paid internship through them in the same field of work that I just got rejected from. If it weren’t for a program like SYEP, I think I’d continue to get rejected from solid, paid internships from LinkedIn. Only getting unpaid internships.

Like this shit is so frustrating. People love to shout from the mountaintops that college students need to do internships, but don’t realize that EVEN WITH EXPERIENCE, companies are still rejecting college students from INTERNSHIPS.

I think I should’ve stuck with Nursing. At least that’s guaranteed job placement anywhere you go.

Ive hit my limit. Im trying to register for classes for senior year and am going to have the most inconvenient schedule possible. Most of the classes I wanted aren’t even offered either semester, so I basically have to take a bunch of stuff I don’t have interest in to graduate. I’ve taken all climatology classes for my major, and none are being offered.

The only online class I’m taking I’m failing (I have all A/B in everything else). And it’s the first required Spanish class. I haven’t ever done well in an online class but my tuition payment got delayed and it was the only one I could get back in since my schedule got cancelled. If I don’t get a D I won’t graduate on time (Next year will already be my 5th)

My houses plumbing also exploded so I’ve had to take 4 days off work over the last 2 weeks for city utility workers and plumbers to come fix it so now I literally have no money. I keep trying to save money but it costs $20 every time I back out my driveway.

My roommate hasn’t cleaned up after himself in a month so I’m constantly keeping the house in presentable shape. he’s my absolute best friend and I’ve lived with him 4 years, but the last 4 weeks he hasn’t done the slightest to help.

Our cats demolished a roll of toilet paper and smeared shit 15’ across the tile so I have to clean that when I get home too.

I just want a week where I’m not stressed beyond belief. Just one normal week is all I want.

At least I’ve been keeping up with class work in every other class so I’m not stressed about that. I just want it to end. I just want to go to work and only worry about work. I intern every summer and 65h weeks don’t even feel like work, but 15 credits and 20 hour pay periods have me ripping my hair out.

We had a major assignment due February 25th and it finally got graded March 14th. Of course this happened to be the day directly before our drop date, March 15th, and the TA had given me a zero for the assignment due to some shortcomings on their part. The code written performed correctly to the standards so I emailed the professor the same day, March 14th for a regrade request.

I'm not sure what else I should do now but I have sent two follow up emails since March 14th with no response back. Others have received same day responses and I have checked I am actually sending the emails to the correct email address. I talked to my advisor and she told me there wasn't much she could do besides continuing to send emails or what for an in-person class to happen and ask her in person. My concern is that if shes ignoring emails, how easy will it be for her to say she forgot what I told her in person. Should I just keep sending email follow ups her way I should I give up on my advisor and CC our department head to see if that gets something going?

TL;DR assignment is worth a majority of final grade, got a shocking zero, professor hasn't responded in nearly two weeks, advisor didn't give much info.

dude's resume is a f*cking joke. Basically he got every project management cert and plastered it all over his linkedin page. He even included it in his name and he tells us that this is the best way to get noticed by potential employers. Bro your linkedin page looks like a classified ad there's nothing professional about it.

But the part that really grinds my gears. I missed class for one day because there was nothing scheduled in class that day. He moves the due date of an assignment to be due to that day and makes it so only those in class gets marks for it. 5% gone just like that.

Then he assigns me into a group that does jack shit, fine whatever. I finished every assignment give it to the group leader and he changes font colors and says he contributed. Everyone puts their name on it and hands it in. But what really triggers me, I complete another assignment a week in advance gave it to the group leader. Dude forgets to hand it in. Prof gives the entire group a zero. What the f*ck. Basically lost 10% for absolutely no reason except the prof is just power tripping for no reason. I fricking hate group projects.

My final exam is in a week. Now I am so angry and furious!! What am I doing here memorizing useless shits??? Why do I have to answer those ridiculous MCQs asking about research datas??? Its nonsense I can google it at anytime when I am at work. New research pops out everyday how can we memorize everything about the world? MEANINGLESS!!!

Another thing, WHAT IS THE BEST CHOICE? In real life we are literally doing all ABCDE, all of them! Why bother asking which one is the best? I know we should do C first but in the answer you tell me E is the most important one?! WHY?! Answers are ALWAYS arguable...

I don't see these bullshit exams really helping our career except they bring us our lovely liscence... Thanks everyone for receiving my rant, I'm better now.

Going to get back on my study urghhhh

​

​

I seriously don’t comprehend why college professors do this. I’ll reach out to them about an assignment and they tell me to go to the source of the material and everything is there…. Yes I saw the material, and that’s why I’m reaching out to you to explain it better, I CLEARLY DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.

What is that about?? Why do they assume that we’re not reading, emailing them is my last resort.

Most college professors don’t teach shit, you have to figure it out on your own…smh

Tldr, prospective music student stuck at community college with a bad music program

Hi, I graduated high school in 2023. I graduated with a 2.4 gpa. I had a lot of mental health struggles and spent time trying to get help. I didn't get a diagnosis or medication until junior year of high school. My yearly gpas for those next 2 years were 3.7+. My diagnoses are autism and adhd and accommodations helped

I want to major in music education, I didn't apply to my local universities because I literally wouldn't have gotten in due to my grades. I thought I'd be fine with the cc-uni route but I'm not.

Summer time, I take a class and fail it. I assume it was a fluke and will never happen again. I had a hard time having a summer where I couldn't be a kid anymore. Throughout that summer I tried to get information about the music program at my cc, and I got nothing. I just signed up for 4 gen eds for fall semester. I ended up withdrawing from classes and failing the rest. No motivation. No time management. It was so hard to remember what I had to do because I wasn't in class getting reminded every day. I ended up finding the leader of the music program and found out that all of a sudden my 2 years at cc will turn into 4 years because I didn't take the freshman fall classes that I was supposed to. This school doesn't even have my actual program of cello and music ed I will just be in a general music thing and ill never even play in an orchestra.

I was confused and decided Ill just do gen eds and transfer. This spring I also joined an ensemble outside of school which has been really great for me but it didn't help with school as much as I thought it would. 2 of my classes are Bs. And the other 2 are F's. Motivation and forgetting about assignments is why. I also have so much trouble with english now. In hs I primarily avoided creative writing and only did the multiple choice stuff thats how I passed. Idk how to write. I go to lectures btw, i live far from this school and have only missed 2 or 3 days in all of this time. I am on academic probation. Idk what to do. I cant convince myself to open canvas. I dont like the idea of taking a semester off because I don't have much else. I've worked part time at restaurants but these places barely schedule me so it doesnt look like I can get a full time job. My ensemble is ending soon too. I can practice and see what performances i can find but I just really wanna be an educator. Music is what I truly understand and am good at. I learn music and its concepts super quickly. Its just so fucking draining when I have all these barriers just to go to music school and be in an actual cello studio and have an actual orchestra to be in with my friends who are already there. And you know, learn to teach.

My spring break is over and I go back to class tomorrow. This past week I really didn’t do much other than lay in bed, sleep, and occasionally go over notes, but not much. I promised myself I’d do schoolwork over the week, but I didn’t get much done and I feel so anxious. I feel like I should’ve spent every day studying instead of lazing around. I’m having a panic attack currently because I just don’t want to go back tomorrow. I’m so stressed I’m gonna fail my classes. My anxiety hasn’t been this bad for the last few weeks until now. How to stop this feeling of anxiety and stress?

I'm currently in a biology lab where we take a quiz every week. The material for the lab is created by the lab coordinator, but the lab TA comes up with his own quizzes based off the material.

My lab TA has ridiculous grading rules and will take off points for short answers with more than 15 words... even if it is the correct answer. This puts me as well as my classmates in his lab section at a huge disadvantage compared to other students with a different lab TA.

I'm in a Discord with all the lab sections and to my knowledge, not only are the other lab TAs nicer, but do not partake in this ridiculous rule of marking correct answers wrong because it has more than 15 words.

Who should I speak to about this? What should I do?

Instead of how it use to be in the past. With experts answering questions and giving proper explanations to help study. Instead now you pay for a service that gives you wrong answers and is just written by AI who doesn’t know anything math related for the most part. Can’t even use it as a study tool anymore. Anyone have a site recommendations where one could submit questions?

I HATE when people say that these are the best years of my life (I am a 4th year junior bc of credit transfer stuff). If this is supposed to be the best time in my life then holy shit am I scared. College has been one of the worst experiences of my life. The best part about it is that I'll graduate and be in an insane amount of debt. AND you're not even guaranteed a job that pays a liveable wage anymore. What's the point? Is everyone just living in a fantasy land where this doesn't bother you? My Professors do the bare minimum and expect you to know the materials as if you studied it for 30+ years like them. This is more of a rant, but I just hate it here. I feel privileged to be able to study, but I don't even know for what. The world is a shit hole.

i’m currently a freshman in my second semester. i came in thinking i would major in something science and work towards vet school, but now i don’t think this is what i want to do. i switched my major twice, and was planning on switching to biology because i still wanted to be pre-vet, but now im starting to think i don’t even wanna be in the science field. i think i would enjoy a job in the field, but science classes themselves have just been making me stressed and hating my life. i’m not good at it, and i’m not even really interested in what i’m learning tbh. i’ve been considering other options for a major that i would both enjoy studying and enjoy a career in, but i’m not sure what to do especially since i’m about to be a sophomore. i know i’m not touching anything with math/business, and i like english/history classes but wouldnt want to do that for the rest of my life. so i don’t know where this puts me and im really stressed out about this.

TLDR: I am just cooked by post sec, I want to go to grad school, but if I feel like this now, how can I?

I love university for the most part, but lately I feel as if my professors are killing me. I want to go to grad school, but lately I just feel as if my professors are jack-wads. I do my best work, get a low mark, but do related work and get a high mark. I hate this, how do I know what is good work?

All of this is killing my desire for grad school.

Help.

Hi everyone,

So I randomly got diagnosed with a serious illness that's thankfully curable, but it's a lengthy process to eradicate.

I've been attending so many doctor's appointments because of how serious it is and it's causing other illnesses as well. There's one particular class that legitimately starting to piss me off and the TA is getting on my last nerve. I had to take an exam and I had to leave early because I became gravely ill during the middle of it. I made him known of my condition before classes started.

Every other professor has been accommodating even before ADS was involved. He told me I can't retake the exam because it's unfair to the other students. My other professors have not only given me extra time, but they are letting retake exams whenever because of how serious this is. To make matters worse the TA grades so hard and unfairly that every single student in the class is getting mad. I checked my work with other students in my class and we all did the same exact thing but I received a lower score? I emailed her about it and she was snappy with me.

Mind you she was in the wrong and the professor had to change my grade. She's not even a student but she's a TA!

How would you guys handle this? My accommodations took effect the day before spring break started and ADS is so fucking slow when it comes to getting you the necessary accommodations!

P.S before being diagnosed, I legitimately thought I was going to die and I couldn’t eat for a month or consume fluids without an IV!

Hello.

Honestly I’m livid right now so pardon for the rant here:

So basically my school screwed me last minute on my academic planning so I was left with taking core classes (21 units my last semester) so I can graduate on time. Luckily I’m doing really well with (three A’s), (three A-‘s), and (one A+) putting my cumulative GPA as of now at a solid 3.73 if I account for midterm grades but with my gpa recorded from last semester (Fall) which it’s at a 3.68.

I’m so mad because I assumed that honors at my graduation ceremony this May would equate from the total GPA I earn after finals this spring, but after some DEEP research, I found a clause saying that they only recognize honors placement by GPA all the way up to the Fall semester, not Spring.

Do any of you people out there have this clause for your college/university? Or is my school just the outlier here with this policy.

So my international relations professor decided it was a brilliant idea to make our papers group projects. The first group should be 2-3 people, the second paper is 4-6 people, and then the third is 10-12 people. In my previous group for the first paper, I was with A and M, and when I reached out to them after the first paper, we planned to continue with this group and simply add members/merge with another group. I received no communication from either A or M, so I started reaching out repeatedly to A (the only person whose contact info i had) over the course of the past week in order to start work on our paper (it's due this Thursday). I reached out to M today and received news that they had joined another group that only had room for two members - two weeks ago. And now I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown because who will let me into a group with most papers already finished 🫠

I reached out to my professor to see if he could help me with a solution and the one person I know in this class to see if I could maybe join his group but it's Sunday so I might not get responses until Tuesday (when I have class)

Worst case scenario I have to write a 1500-word paper in two days, but I've certainly done more in less time so we'll see.

Update! My professor emailed me back, saying that I was welcome to do this project on my own if I wanted to, but that I could join a group and go over the limit as well. Luckily neither of those were necessary as the one person I know in this class had a spot in his group and it sounds like they have enough to do still that I will be a meaningful contributor :)

i'm autistic and currently in as sociology class I absolutely love my teacher and what we learn in classes incredibly valuable but it's the McGraw Hill aspect of it that's making me want to tear my hair out and scream.

The phrasing of questions, and the ways that we are meant to answer do not MAKE SENSE TO ME. I feel like I'm being Pranked or something with the ways that I'm supposed to answer these questions. I feel like I'm answering a captcha question. Answers that should be reasonably understood that could be corrected. I am automatically referred back to the book but the book does not fully fundamentally explain what's happening. I feel like I'm not actually learning anything. I am just copying and pasting.

The way that these questions are phrased the way that I have to answer. Makes me feel like a rat in a cage. Sociology is a broad subjective and matter of learning that IS IMPOSSIBLE. answer the question about conducting research was saying that oh "look for mistakes that other researchers have made" but no, that's wrong but like... you should be. If you're conducting research, you should be looking for mistakes that could be presents in the work you are READING. The fact that there's no way to report questions. I just hate this, I love learning sociology it's been something i've been researching on my own sense childhood but here i am, just fucking filling in my paint by numbers to get credit wanna explode

Normally, people will lament that their colleges experiences were not as enjoyable, socially successful, professionally successful, or academically successful as they should have been, but usually they were able do well in at least one of those areas.

Personally, I didn't get good grades and didn't even have a particularly difficult or marketable major. I didn't land relevant internships or develop a career plan. I didn't graduate on time, and went into a ton of debt in the process that I'll likely never pay back. I didn't do much networking. I didn't build any strong or last social bonds. I didn't even enjoy most of my experience at college. I had so many opportunities to make something out of this experience, and fumbled every single one. Now I'm about to graduate, and I can't be happy about it because it's a reminder that I failed in every dimension you could possibly fail.

People say 'it gets better', but it only gets harder after college and I'm not going to ever get the barrage of opportunities that I did during college. If I couldn't handle that, I don't know how I'll handle the rest of my life. My only saving grace is I lack the constitution for suicide.

7 days a week of fuckinh classes and work nonstop even on fucking spring break. I’m trynna transfer and am in a realm of transfer hell right now , between working managing personal and work fuckinh drama and fucking family who cannot get there shit together oh my fucking goodness fuck this shit I haven’t slept properly in months! What the fuck I hope my sup gets grapes and burns alive and fuck my accounting supervisor old ass fucks.

(I didn't know this sub existed lmfao)

I don't even know what the fuck is wrong with me most of the time. I am in dorms my freshman year of college and as of then it was fine. But two of my roomates, M and D, they ended up ranting a lot or had a lot of jokes regarding dark humor shit (possible harm or smthn that came across to people but like it wasn't in a serious way???) My dumbass regrettably went along with a lot of it even if it wasn't what I was really thinking (I kind of just kept it in mind that it's a joke yknow)

Then this one roomate J, they also ended up kind of being quiet from the very beginning, a lot of conversation just felt one sided when it came to starting things or something like that. I came home the weekends when class was over.

Well we had issues with chores, M and D ever only really rarely did these chores, I tried to stay consistent with the bathroom (but like you know the bathroom getting dirty real easily, that stuff) and then M makes the biggest mess in the kitchen which somehow she's even been shit at cleaning that up and then doing the dishes she was shit at doing that constantly.

J even though there was shit that could have been done or smthn she also did just keep at the whole dishes thing D was supposed to sweep but somehow she rarely did that

Well I ended up trying to ask everyone what they did around the dorm room, I talked with J as the final result then boom boom whole new chorelist before Christmas break

Well after Christmas break chore list was done but january stage everything was okay-ish

Well then when J had to go on a trip back in feburary-march M decides to tell me that J likely was talking shit about me because somehow O had went up to them and was like '(my name) is the odd one out' or smthn along those lines

Well, here's the thing too, J never initiates any conversation, J leaves for hours without saying shit and I'd have to text to make sure everything was all good, I tried to be nice as possible to J but then trying to initiate every single convo with someone is tiring

Well now then I was like 'yknow what fuck them' and then we all simultaneously went to not really say much when they're around

Last Wednesday they end up leaving or some shit moving stuff out of dorm to go in the other dorm and I had to head to class (had a night class) and then eventually M and D texted me like saying shit happened they'll tell me when I get back or smthn

Well now it's shit that J has said, a last comment like 'Thanks for nothing y'all' which set them off, then D ends up playing the race card (her quotes) and emails the temporary Dean (a whole other situation)

(I was on call during this whole meeting and not in person)

Well meeting happens Saturday, turns out J decides to end up painting the entire thing as something 100% we were expected to constantly talk to her because even though she never speaks to us, we constantly ended up making plans and then didn't invite her to (which they actually tried to invite her, but okay.) My whole thing with that was that things can't be one sided

And I wasn't even in on any of those plans either most the time, I went out like (twice?? With M and D)

Then the more understandable part is the whole jokes thing for J not feeling comfortable with that, which I understand, but then J begins to say shit like we were genuinely wanting to harm her or some shit like that, which D ends up wording shit like it was a whole bonding experience with the dark humor bits (???)

Then what's even more fucked up regarding this is that M and D NEVER say shit at all during the whole dorm time I've been with them. So now I feel dragged in in a way as a result ???

Anyway then J begins to say how M kept sleeping which had J do the dishes, which that part is true, but then J begins to say she was picking up shit (???) And then m and d never even fucking said shit after that, I'm on call which my hearing is shit as a result (Microsoft teams+earbuds)

Then J ends up saying shit how she was like the only one making change or some shit (No??? She never even brought up shit at all.) And then in the meeting she began to word shit like (how it sounded to me) that me and her were texting a bunch (we werent)

I'm just kind of done and drained as a result of everything. Ik a lot of shit I've said isn't good too. I see a lot of wrongs between both parties but now I'm just like I don't even know anymore

Things to add on: a lot of times M and D ended up adding onto the joking part where they joked about harm onto someone, I'll add that onto the post. I regrettably participated and went on also in some of those.

Edit for people who ended up saying they didn't understand things from the post, here is a reply I had that the person ends up saying was more coherent:

We didn't spend the entire semester talking about hurting peers, the most of it was outright shittalking making fun of the person from the stuff that I remember. Toward the beginning of the year or actually just from the first month or whatnot and on forward we had to initiate every single conversation with her.

We eventually gave up (or actually M and D did) and then in the beginning of February when J had to go to a trip M told me that it was likely J was talking shit about me to other people due to what a friend who isn't there said to her about me being the odd one out or some shit, then that's when I ended up giving up on trying to talk to her.

Well after all the silence J moves out and we werent notified abt it. Well in the meeting that's where J's apparent silence came from but then she starts saying how we never invited her to places which we did she just said no, then that's when she ends up saying also we talked abt death on another person (The most I remembered was this one creep that we genuinely wished death upon, the rest was a lot of shittalking) and then how J felt like a maid apparently and was cleaning up everything and picking up trash

Here's the thing though J wasn't constantly picking up trash, the most was that she just kept doing the dishes second semester. 1st semester was where I could see that holding up but I stuck to my own chore of doing the bathroom and if she cleaned the bathroom it was on the weekend. Then 1st semester was when we discussed the chore thing again

If it still sounds confusing here I'm sorry

Apparently now the jokes was about falling off stairs?

hey everyone, I just needed a place to vent.

I started at my university in the fall of 2021, entered with a couple of credits and have been taking really heavy semesters + summer courses. I will be graduating in May.

I feel like I've just started to become confident in myself and my future, knowing what I want and who I am and who I want to be.

And now everything is changing.

I've become connected with so many different people across campus and am finally coming into myself as a college student and adult.

But I have to leave in a month.

This sucks and I'm really sad about it. I like how things are going.

okay, that's all.

Bro I hate Ochem. I literally spent 5 hrs working on Ochem notes and homework and barely made a dent. I’m feeling so discouraged because I have to pass this stupid class if I want to graduate by 2025. I’ve already retaken so many classes and I don’t wanna keep retaking classes anymore! I don’t have the money for that nor the energy. I just want to be done. I’m so angry because I spent so much time on this freaking class to get nothing out of it. And my exam is next week and I’m clueless. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pass this class. I seriously spent my Saturday doing this to have not gotten anywhere.

Idk why but recently guys have started cutting in front of me (20F) in the dining hall when we’re all waiting for our food.

This has happened to me 3 separate times and I’m already over it. Is it really that difficult to just wait patiently like everyone else? It’s not even like I’m taking long to get my food, if anything I make sure to be quick about it.

They don’t even say excuse me or anything they just cut right in front of me. The worst part about it is that they literally see me standing there and do it anyway and say nothing. One time a guy cut in front of me so rudely that his friend called him out on it and that was the only time someone said sorry to me for cutting.

I have pretty bad social anxiety, especially from this year, so I usually try not to draw attention to myself but holy hell I’m not invisible! The weirdest thing about all of this is that this has NEVER happened to me before this year so I don’t understand why people are being so rude to me now.

TL;DR People have started cutting in front of me in line and I’m sick of it. It has made me feel invisible even though I know I’m not.

OP here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeRant/s/7AEsKVNvjz

Okay so I followed everyone’s advice and just asked her, which is probably the first thought for you non anxious people. She was kinda surprised that I brought it up, apparently she didn’t even realize she was doing it. So for context, I sit in the second row to the front because it’s easier to see and hear what’s going on, I’ve got SPD and sensory wires get crossed in my brain a lot. I’m basically by myself while everyone else sits a little further back. My professor is decently old and starting to loose her hearing. Since I was close and I’m pretty loud when I speak, she picked on me because she could actually understand my answer. She promised she’d spread out her questions more and give me a break. She’s been pretty chill since then and yesterday showed up with hearing aids. Holy shit is class 10x better. She isn’t half shouting anymore or “ignoring” our questions. It’s so so nice.

TLDR: I’m blind and my teacher is deaf

i love my physics teacher as she’s a very kind and intelligent person, i can see it by the way she is able to talk about a subject in her second language. she also tries her best to be lenient, but her teaching style is unbearable.

she spends three hours every class, reading off a powerpoint that has nothing but theory. she does have around 10-12 practice problems in the powerpoint, but she tends to skim and skip over them, saying “you do that at home and read it.”

on top of the theory, she explains how to derive equations using a laser pointer and a bunch of letters- that FEEL like gibberish because i don’t understand where they’re from or how she got them.

It’s infuriating, because she expects us, in a way, to understand how to solve problems that she’s never shown how to do.

how do you guys deal with teachers like this? i just go home and watch other lecture videos but even then, im not even sure if im learning all that she wants us to understand by the next test.

tldr; physics teacher doesn’t show how to do problems, expects us to understand and do them ourselves after pointing and reading theory off of a ppt.

if anyone has any college physics lecture videos to share, please do. it would be so helpful

I'm in an asynchronous class, and recently realized that we have our usual weekly work due plus a quiz in the middle of break. We literally don't get a Spring Break at all. I realize it is what it is, but it's frustrating because I made plans assuming I'd get a break like the rest of my classes. (This class is also by far my most time consuming class to add the cherry on the top.) I feel like being in an asynchronous class doesn't mean I'm not entitled to a Spring Break just because there are no live meetings. What's the point of having a spring break if you're going to have the usual amount of work due during that week??

Update: I emailed the department head per the recommendation of a different proffesor when I asked her if she knew if professors were able to assign work due during break. The department head responded and asked for the class and section number and then said he contacted the professor to ask if it was an error. In hindsight, I realize I should’ve gone to the professor first, I just was having a hard time with knowing how to ask politely and she hasn’t responded to emails in the past.

Update 2: The department head told me that the professor responded saying that the due dates were only for planning purposes, and students could work ahead or turn the assignment after spring break. (There were actually two assignments, and for the quiz, I really don't know where she said this, and for the other assignment she did mention that in the syllabus. But either way, it's still not actually giving us a break, just saying we have the option to do double the weekly work before or after break if we want a break.) Still kinda confused by her response but then she changed due dates so we don't have anything due during break, so I guess it's a win :).
