As a student of Georgia Institute of Technology I am extremely critical of my teachers. For the most part this criticism is well earned by the teaching staff of Georgia Tech. This university is build and based around graduate and professor level research. Thus Gatech beings the best and brightest in Engineering to its campus that allows amazing research to be produced. Then students are left with great minds who have little to no business in the classroom. As extremely educated men and women they have a breadth of knowledge in their field but they lack skills to be a talented and inspiring teacher.
During my first semester at Tech I was thrown into three 200+ person lectures that are thought of as review level courses. Due to this fact the quality of the teachers who lead these classes was very low. I actualy enjoyed the challenge at times of trying to teach myself material inadequately covered in class. As a result of this transfer of teacher and student responsibilities I currently have a 3.2 GPA.
Look forward to the future as even the present I am planning how and what I can change that number in a positive manner. First I will give the lecture more of my attention to hopefully use some osmosis between the material and I to learn the information. Second I will find the professors who are talented teachers and try to gain the most from those classes. Finally I will try to give my school work complete precedent over all other activities except one. Being my relationship is that with my lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Currently my schedule is filled with 14 hours of course work consisting of four major classes.
First in order of enjoyability is ME 1770, AutoCAD Visualization and Design. This course is taught by a talented older man who is a decent conveyor of information. I feel that I will enjoy this class because it genuinely interests me because its a part of the production process. Also the class shows lots of real work applications for the work we will complete.
Second, strangely enough is English II where we are planning on writing the program publications for the Ferst Center of Performing Arts. After spending a large amount of time to find an English that fits my schedule this option is turning out to be a good choice. It gives me the opportunity to research possibly multiple jazz artists and perhaps the genre itself.
Third, is Calc II(the most failed class at Tech), the only reason its wedging out Physics I is because I think the teacher is going to be great. He has a very structured path that he takes to explain a certain topic and gives adequate examples while keeping within the construction of the topic. Knowing this class will not be easy I will be investing a majority of my time within the class to get at least a B from the course.
Fourth, my least favorite course as of today, Physics I, mainly because trivial facts like it meets three days a week. This schedule is extremely unappealing to me because I am now required to walk 15 min for a 50 min lecture and then another 15 back to my dorm. I feel that my time walking, riding, or biking around campus is just lost to the wind. Hour and a half classes in my mind are the most efficient and effective because the professor has time to develop the topic and teach the material in a longer setting.
All said I am predicting a 3.6+ semester. This is my goal and I may be setting myself up for failure but I will try my hardest.
All is good in the Gatech Library on my CR-48
Personal Motto for- don't plan/think, just let the thoughts hit the keyboard - proof reading = nope
