What part of the semester do you dislike the most?

Question

I personally hate when you go to sell back books. Nothing displeases me more when they tell you;
1) The professor has not requested this book for next semester
2) The class is no longer going to be offered
3) there is a new edition coming out for this book.

One semester I spent $500 on books and got only $10 back... err

Someone once told me "you get raped when you buy your books and then you get sodomized when you go to sell them back"

So lets here it what is your least favorite time of the semester?

Answer 1

The scheduling part. Especially when your schedule is set just the way you want it, and then the administration cancels a class and you have to re-register. What a pain that is. Or when a class you want from a really cool professor is full (try to orange or green card in anyway...people will drop and later there is often room to stay).

Best wishes.

Answer 2

I hate the end of the semester; there's too much pressure for the final exams and term papers. I also hate the bookstores that charge you exorbitant prices for the books even if they are used and then want to buy them back almost for free. I think it would be better if someone set up a page for the school where students could exchange books, sell and buy from other students. The first college I attended had this; however, where I am now, they don't have this. Definitely, the end of the semester is the worst.

Answer 3

I enjoyed most of my school and I always kept my books, did have a nice Library, now I going to e-books. I really not know, maybe when a Research Paper was due. But, I eventually got that down to an art. Take the number of pages required and divide by the weeks until due and do that many pages each week. Tests were easy, I take good notes and Breeze over them until the test, then a good 1 hour study before the test. One thing I did not like was when there not a good parking spot and I have to park far from the Building when it was raining.

Answer 4

Book buy back sucks, but I really hate it when I am assigned to a group project and it turns out they all drop the class. That sucks big time.

Answer 5

the start of the school-----so many adjustments around. And just this sem, they change the sched on my major at the last minute. There I had conflicts with my 2 other subjects for that change in my 1 major subject... errr!

enrollment, as for one, is already a hassle...

Answer 6

Getting up early for lectures when i've had a big night the night before...

Answer 7

the finals
