On-line "classes" are kind of ridiculous. This was definitely not worth $430, from an educational standpoint. But because this is the only way to actually get my last pre-req done, I guess it's worth it. This is definitely not the way I learn though. Considering this is a psychology class that requires memorizing a large number of otherwise useless terms, an actual classroom would have been nice. (Why is it that theorists feel the need to invent hundreds of new terms, just to make their idea seem more valid? "Hey Jim, is that bread you've got there?" "Actually, I call it Wheat-Based Sustenance Material, not to be confused with Wheat-Infused Sustenance Base." "Fuck you, Jim. Fuck you.")
I also absolutely despise reading about Freud, because he was an illogical moron who assumed that his own desire for incest was generalizable to the entire population, despite a lack of any proof (thanks, perv!). But I have enjoyed how fun it is to play amateur shrink (while reading about better theories) and constantly getting to go "so that's what's wrong with that person!" (FYI, if you're reading this, I did not think that about you).
I am really hoping to get into grad school and take better classes than this. And hopefully to take classes from people who hate Freud. And Jim.
