[QUOTE="TBoogy"]TC, how does your work benefit your teachers?V2FLUXERTeachers have to meet a quota. If everyone put no effort in, it would be viewed as the teachers fault, not the students. As a result the teacher would be fired. By me trying a I help to maintain the balance of A's, B's and C's they are expected to meet. Sorry forgot to mention , if everyone has a C the balance is questioned, as well as if everyone has an A

I didn't read the whole thing because its probably a load of a complainers BS. Just go to school and learn and enjoy it cause when your out of high school the world is a whole lot more cruel. Its not unpaid labor, your not expected to perform tasks for someone for the greater good of a company, your there soley to learn and better yourself and saying that is payment enough.battousai188I find it absurd that people actually say, "I didn't read it, but here's my opinion..." After that first sentence, all your credibility is lost.
[QUOTE="V2FLUXER"]The greatest irony of the course is that we are required to solve the problems (which are rather difficult) via MATLAB, which is a highly math-oriented programming language, but I have realized that I would have been able to solve most of the problems myself with naught but a sheet of paper and a calculator in less than a third of the time needed to formulate, write, and debug the MATLAB programs (10 hours instead of 30+). Good point. I rather enjoy those time consuming problems though, because it gives you that feeling of accomplishment when it is completed. It's almost like a jigsaw puzzle to me.Hm, yeah I have heard that computational engineering, or fields of that matter, are time consuming. Thank you for answering though.I'm a chemistry major, a freshman at Rice University, and I'm taking 18 hours, which is one full course (three hours) more than the average. My computational engineering course is the biggest time sink; it consistently necessitates over thirty hours of programming per week.

[QUOTE="V2FLUXER"]The bright side to the amount of work I do receive is that, graduates of my high school usually tell us that the college work in most cases is less than we recieve in High School.

The first year is easy enough, but just wait until you start doing those engineering courses! Especially if you intend to go to graduate school.
In addition to this, in college, you have to qualify for your degrees by having a basic education, which means: Foreign languages, English, Math (though you'll have a buttload of that with an engineering degree), science, social sciences. . . basically what you have now. The only difference is you don't have to take it all at once. The standards of your teachers will be higher, as well.
I'm in college myself and I promise you, the work is much more than in high school. You just get to take it intervals: commonly called semesters.
Yeah I hear the work is hard. My high school, Chatham High School, was ranked the 5th hardest public school in the Nation, i think in '04-05ish. I guess that attributes to the fact that graduates don't view college as that bad.I'm a chemistry major, a freshman at Rice University, and I'm taking 18 hours, which is one full course (three hours) more than the average.

Wow, if you're only a high school junior and think you have to do a lot now, I can't wait until you go to college.:lol:
Seriously. Once, I had over 110 hours in a week of combined studying, cIass, and homework. Needless to say, I didn't have much sleep that week... What's your major, and where do/did you attend college? I'm just wondering.
