Grades
I got my grades yesterday, saw what they were, and it really got me thinking about procrastination and trying hard to get good grades. I've never liked to make something I enjoy doing into work.
I've only gotten a 100 in a class once, but I could care less about that if it weren't for the GPA needed to get into a decent college. I don't think I could handle haveing learning become a chore. I don't procrastinate, I get bored, resulting in lower grades. Eh, at least it keeps me motivated to understand a subject.
I hope that someday they develop a method of grading where the students are judged by how well they test, but on there understanding. It seems like right now, they're trying to get students to test well only, which pushes away the student's desire to actually understand it, and that also results in lower test scores unless they memorize everything.
It's easy to memorize things, but it takes more effort to understand something to the fullest extent possible. I gave up on memorizing, and all I do is try to understand concepts. It's not that great when it comes to times when I would have to memorize something, such as vocabulary. It hurts my head oh so very badly. Stupid method of communicating. Why couldn't people just be born knowing how to use every word needed to communicate with each other, just like birds. Ah, that would be so awesome. But noooo, we have to memorize a billion words to explain something efficietly while the listener is like "what the hell's a tome?".
Blah
