Thinks I already know don't need to be re-taught to me.

You know, I really didn't like the summer course I just finished. Everything about the class just rubbed me the wrong way. When I signed up to take the course, I was under the impression that the class would build upon what I already learned, and advance previous knowledge into new and challenging directions. That did not happen. The class was the same shit I already know how to do.

I know how to research and write a paper. I've been doing them since...1999. Maybe instead of collection information to write into my research topic, maybe the class should have focused on us gathering our own research. I've only done that once in the past. Unlike research I collect, I can use my own finding show I see fit. Perhaps that is where this class should have gone: Gathering instead of collecting. This is probably the reason why I was so restless and frustrated with this class: I've done this a dozen times before. I know how to find articles from peer-reviewed sources; I know how to cite sources in my research paper; I know how to paraphrase; I know how an essay is structured. I know these things.

Who knows, maybe this is the reason I'll probably only get a "B" instead of an "A."
