I hate it when teachers roll their eyes when you say a class is useless. I know a useless class when I am in one after being stuck in a college for five years. I can tell when a professor doesn't care and I have felt those classes that inspire. A useless class is something that doesn't better me. Where I go to class for the grade, not the experience. I have gone to classes for my major that I know I am required to take just so the degree has hours, some being upper levels that I have no care to take. At the same time I see classes I yearn to learn from but I’m not allowed to just because I don’t have time.

You know you're wasting your time when during a class you don't even know what's about your clasmate to the left is reading a C++ Programmers Guide, your clasmate to the right is doing something in Matlab, the guy in front of you is playing Civilitations, the girls behind you are in facebook, and you start reading 1984 in your computer just so not to die of boredom.
