Do You Guys End Up Teaching Yourself Everything?

hey guys,

I’m a student at Cal and it’s finals week…through my entire time here I’ve pretty much had to teach myself all of my classes and it got me wondering, do you guys have the same experience as students of a private and smaller school?

For the most part, the quality of education here is garbage. They give you a list of books to buy and the professor tells you what pages/chapters to read, then they give you a 300 question multiple choice exam on it and call it “learning.”

I’m getting more and more frustrated that I’m paying so much money…for really nothing.

…do any of you guys feel like you have to teach yourself courses? or is your school actually teaching you concepts through lecture and discussion?
