Plus, they should be GPA boosters, if they're anything like the college I went to, they're all a "gimmie".
    I understand what it is for, it doesnt lessen my boredom any though.

    This particular class isnt a GPA booster since she is a very tough professor, she pulls questions out of thin air. Generally our tests are 80ish questions and out of that 6-8 are questions that werent in the book nor in the lecture. If it wasnt for that it would be alright. I still am managing an A average but Ive had to work for it. My wife took this class but with a different professor and she didnt even study and got an A.

    It's a whole different story when you take a class that's not a "course requirement" and the professor expects the world from you. I had a few classes like that during my senior year while I had a massive Capstone project going on at a local power plant. Having a 5 credit major required course with a TON of work outside of class made it really hard when the other professors still expected so much, they should ease up in a case like that.
