<p>^Um, as examples? To make sure you understood the concepts? When you ended the lesson early and your teacher told you to start your homework? Etc. Etc. Etc. There were 100+ reasons we did problems from the book in class.</p>
<p>And don’t give me the “Why when we could it at home?” excuse. Technically, you could just as easily learn the concepts at home, considering you had a textbook. </p>
<p>In my math classes, we’d do book problems in addition to the lesson in class as practice problems, then check them. Then we’d move on to the next lesson. We’d also have homework. A lot of it.</p>
<p>We were always doing book problems. Last year in my science class, that was the first thing we did. Everyday. We’d have 10 minutes to do assigned book problems then turn them in for a grade. </p>
<p>So, how did your classes work then? Just straight lectures every single class? My classes weren’t quite as much like college as that…</p>
