Even though each class is longer than in high school, there still isn’t enough time to cover all the material. The professors can help you only so far when it comes to giving you a recap of last night’s textbook reading. In the end, it’s still up to you whether you decide to go over the last part of the chapter that he never went over in class, or to just let it be and move on to the next chapter. This meme shows how not everything is discussed in class. The professors might try to rush the end of the lesson because they know they’re short on time, but still have a lot to cover. Unlike in high school, the next day is never spent finishing yesterday’s lesson because there isn’t enough time for that. The readings are much longer and so are the classes, but the classes are less frequent.

During the past 3 months at Baruch, I have become more accustomed to my professor’s lessons and figured out ways to make up for the rest of that 2 minute crash course lesson at the end of class. In classes where the lessons are centered around the readings, I’ll focus more on absorbing the information from the end of the chapter when I read it the first time, because I know that any questions from the first half of the chapter will most likely be answered in class. Getting through the semester didn’t turn out to be that bad, as long as you get to know your professors more and get a feel for what they consider to be “crucial to your understanding of the course”.
