<p>So im in this Geology class thats 3 hrs long on mon. and wed. The professor is probably the worst i have ever had and is super boring. She hands out the notes and then just reads them all class in her monotone voice. I have only had 4 classes and i already feel like im going to go crazy </p>
<p>Any thoughts how to make this better ?</p>
<p>sit in the back and go to sleep. or you can be like some people and master the art of sleeping with your eyes open</p>
<p>^ Transfer to a school that hires better professors :)</p>
<p>Bring a laptop?</p>
<p>Though that might look suspicious…</p>
<p>1 (compound) word:</p>
<p>Crossword.</p>
<p>Seriously, I’d shoot myself in a few classes if not for the NYT and school newspaper crosswords.</p>
<p>Yeah she wont let us use computers and kicks kids out that sleep , shes absolutely ridiculous worst professor i have ever had but i need this for my major</p>
<p>Large amounts of caffeine then.</p>
<p>Sit in the back, do other homework, file your tax returns, etc.</p>
<p>I recommend Sudoku Preferably the really hard ones that take up like 3 hours.</p>
<p>Or you know…you could just try paying attention</p>
<p>I would ask her if her notes are available online or after class and just pick them up then.</p>
<p>Word puzzles (the kind where you try to find the words) and lots of caffeine.</p>
<p>YES! crosswords <3</p>
<p>Yep, anything you can do to keep yourself busy with paper and a pen(cil), so you look like you’re taking notes. Crosswords, sudoku, word puzzles, coloring, planning your school curriculum/future classes, homework for other classes, doodling are all possibilities.</p>
<p>well if she gives you the notes at the beggining of class and then just reads them all class, and kicks you out if you sleep…i would suggest you sleep, then read the notes yourself</p>
<p>For my class last semester, I always downed an entire bottle of Mountain Dew before I walked into the room. It kept me wired…</p>
<p>If all she does is read the handouts and you’re bored silly, why bother going? Just get the notes and show up for exams. Does she take attendance? Doesn’t sound like it.</p>
<p>Just don’t go, and get the notes from someone else. Unless she takes attendance.</p>
<p>no she takes attendAnce and does stupid pop quizs I feel like she knows she sucks and tries to use it to her advantage LOL</p>
<p>I used to just take notes during lecture. Even if I never looked at them again, the process of doing it kept me occupied. It was that or doodling, which also happened, but I found I did actually pay more attention to the material while taking notes, even when the lecturer was boring.</p>
<p>sit in the front row and continuously stare at her the whole class with a big silly grin on your face.</p>
