If you aren’t learning anything, then don’t go to class. Seriously.

I mean, you said it yourself. “I only go to class for attendance. I don’t learn anything.” You go to class to learn. If you aren’t learning, then class just becomes one of those middle school detentions where everyone just watches the clock and waits for time to run out. You’ll make much better use of your time just reading the textbook carefully in your room and doing the exercises at the end of the chapter, instead of sitting through another monotone, mindless, incoherent rambling mess of a lecture.

Let’s be completely frank here. Many professors may be ridiculously talented, gifted intellectuals, but can’t string three coherent sentences together. And many of them simply can’t lecture/teach/communicate or have learned basic social skills. Why lower your standards and subject yourself to such torture? You’re the one that’s paying 40k a year a first-rate education. In fact, I have been getting straight As and becoming a much better student and human being by making the choice to not go to classes where I know I will simply zone out and doze off.

If you truly have to go to class because of attendance, then at least bring you textbook and your iPod so you can study and read in the back corner without distractions.
