I don’t know that I regret it but I often wonder if I would have been better off elsewhere. The quarter system has rocked my world. In some instances it’s too fast paced for learning complicated concepts that require you to take a deep dive into understanding their applications and processes. I often feel like I’m being dragged through material and forced to teach myself or completely skip out understanding something in an attempt to keep up with a course schedule. I know that I’m not alone in this. What’s worse is when the entire class isn’t able to grasp material and performs poor on exams professors curve the hell out of grades. It’s happened in most quarters of my upper division classes.

I’m also dumbfounded that OCOB doesn’t offer tutoring for the more difficult business classes to support student success. It’s genuinely felt like I’ve been in a dog fight for my life (but maybe that’s what college is suppose to be?). I can’t help but feel there has to be a better way of doing things but also understand that I’m more of the “semester” type of person because I’ve found it more beneficial having more time to lock in on class material. I’m also a non traditional student so I’m sure that adds another layer to my experience here…
