Consider Bookkeeping 101 at your local junior college.

Isn't that what a book is? Why pay someone else to read the book to you and then be held back by the slowest person in the class while paying top dollar to support the local politicians?

You're confusing your elementary school experience with college.

In college, the slowest person gets an "F" (as well as those who are "almost the slowest," "merely slow," and "those who smell funny").

And I'd much rather support local politicians than those I've never met !

No, I'm not confusing anything. I've been through elementary school and also through college so I know the routine. Many professors have no business being there. I remember the one who always started a movie projector then went out in the hall and talked with his girlfriend. When the film ran out, he started it back at the beginning "in case the class missed something". Then there was the one who graded dependent on whether or not the students would sign up to take the next semester with him. An "A" for all who would assure him income in the next semester, a "B" for those who wouldn't take the next semester with him. Give me a good book any day.

You can take a class to discover what this means or be at the mercy of charitable souls. You won't find them in any book.

Feeling sympathy, YMMV = Yahoo Makes Me Vomit

Took a lot of PhysEd classes, did you?

Hey, that's just Business 101. Encourage repeat customers.

As a leftie, I certainly agree.

For someone teaching orthographic projection and drafting, he was smart about business. The guy with the movies was teaching Occupational Education. We sure learned about his occupation. I remember my first psyche class. The instructor blindfolded people and let someone else lead them around the hallways. It was supposed to teach us to trust other people. I'm afraid his efforts were lost on me. Most of college is such a waste.

Bob

yup, the comments seem to be very positive. thanks for the tip!

I found this guy's online tutorials quite helpful.
