Mathematics!

First of all i want to say i hate MATH! The fact that it has so many formulas, variables, letters, decimals, and fractions to remember it is such a pain! I find it so difficult to memorize the formulas that are needed to solve different equations or certain equations. I get that math is one of the main generalized subject for school, but why does it have to be so painful? It gets me so frustrated at times when i cant figure out how to even solve an equation and that's just the first step! If i cant solve the equation i cant get to the answer, which makes me even more frustrated. One thing i do hate about my math course at the moment is that its all lab work done on a computer generated from a program called "Hawkes Learning." My thoughts about it is, I am not learning much from the course due to the fact that it is all done on a computer with the process of self teaching of how to do the stuff. I mean seriously, what is the point of having a learning program for math when there is a professor? Professors' are paid to teach us this stuff in class so that we can teach ourselves out of class right? At least that's how i feel about. The only thing the professor is in class for is to supervise on when we take exams and such to give us a grade. Thus, this is more of an online class to me than an in class session. If i wanted to take an online course i would have done so and not taken a on campus course. If i wanted to teach myself how to do math i woulndt have signed up for school either. Although this Hawkes program may work for some, but it isnt working for me, i can garuntee that. Therefore, I feel like i might just completely fail this course! And yes, $80 for an access code just to enroll in "Hawkes".... Down the drain! BOOOOOO!

  1. I hate math too! Hence why I decided to take the non-hawkes math. I got so fed up with the program that there were nights I was working through it with my boyfriend and I ended up crying on his shoulder. I hate Hawkes and think it is the worst idea ever!
