I believe that all college students like me have a personal association, and there are many "water classes" in universities.
Teachers and students form a tacit understanding. You paddle in class and I paddle in class. Finally, in the exam, you paddle and evaluate me. Everyone is very happy.
In high school, we formed the habit of listening to lectures carefully, but in college, we were tortured by various "water classes", such as college English class, ideological history class and professional introduction class. The teaching content is low in gold content, and there is no difference between listening and not listening.
But! You have to sit in the lecture hall and consume precious time. It's hard to concentrate if you want to learn something else. In water class, you should score by attendance, and you should call the roll at ordinary times. You are forced to interact with the teacher to answer questions, but you dare not run away from class.
For children with mines at home, they can graduate from college for four years without worrying about finding a job. What about children without mines? If you take a lot of water classes in Matthew, if most of your classes are water classes, what should you do after graduation? There are many reasons why there is so much water. Some teachers are not good at it, and parallel teachers can only teach water lessons; If the whole institutional environment is only the soil where water lessons are born, water lessons will be born.
But! ! People can't drink water in class. Now, please check the self-help guide. Try to deal with it.
1. Define the curriculum and take the initiative.
Universities are different from high school and university courses, so it is necessary to prioritize courses according to the actual situation. People's energy is limited, and some courses are ignored. We must resolutely abandon high school thinking and avoid unnecessary time consumption. Three or four weeks after the start of school, I will listen to each class carefully for two or three times to understand the quality of each teacher's class. Only by actively understanding teachers and courses can we formulate contingency measures according to different courses.
Ask yourself two questions:
(1) Is the content of this teacher's class worth listening to carefully?
(2) What are the rules for teachers to give points at the end of the term?
The first question: Is the course content worth listening to?
Specialized courses, you have to listen if you don't understand. When you meet a professional teacher and read ppt textbooks, you will never draw fire and water in a professional class even if you are in a fog.
The best way:
Take the initiative and find your own way out. First of all, we should be clear about the difficulty of courses and exams, and we can ask our seniors and sisters. Go to the small broken station to find excellent courses for self-study, don't pin your hopes on the water teacher!
Is it worth listening to if you are facing a non-professional course? Subjective! I have always believed that there is no "water class" in universities, only "water teachers". If this course is not utilitarian, but you think it will be rewarding, then listen!
The second question: What are the rules for teachers to give marks at the end of the term?
For example, is the teacher strict in attendance, paying attention to usual performance or closing the book at the end of the term? Can I teach myself the content of the closed-book exam?
In the first half of the semester, I studied line generation, and matrix and space were combined into one. The teacher gave ppt an example, but never interpreted or explained abstract concepts. I was really autistic at that time! Attending class is the same as not attending class, emotional intelligence! Finally, I taught myself online. Fortunately, I took a substitute class in Song Hao, a small stop, and saved my online generation.
I took a thinking class when I was a freshman. What the teacher said in class is really simple, which is a well-known view of some people. In his class, I know I can't absorb new things, but because he attaches great importance to attendance and teacher-student interaction, my class mode is to take the initiative to sit in the first few rows, seize the opportunity to answer questions, get familiar with each other and strive for a higher average score. Therefore, in the face of water lessons, we should know how to improvise.

2. "Water class" is a good opportunity to improve yourself. I think after a few classes, you must already know which classes are important and which ones are secondary! For those meaningless "water lessons", I will share with you how I did it. (attention! ! I mean those courses that are completely meaningless. First of all, I don't advise you to skip class! Because the cost of skipping classes is very high, once it is discovered, it will not only lower the grades, but also affect the evaluation! And for many students, skipping classes is really addictive! Once you take that step, it's hard to stop!
(i) Sit in the last row to reduce interference. Sitting in the last row is really cool. I can't hear the teacher at all. My attention is very concentrated and my learning efficiency is very high. In the past, good students only liked to sit in the first two rows. Now, I finally found happiness in the last row. These two tactics have greatly improved the utilization rate of water lessons. ! Note: when you need to befriend the teacher and answer questions to get a normal score, you are still sitting in the first few rows.
(2) Take precautions.
Plan ahead and determine what to accomplish. Otherwise, I don't know what to do as soon as I enter the classroom, which leads to the loss of time like a headless fly.
(3) only do simple things
I try to do all kinds of things in water class. In the past, I studied other courses directly in the water class, not only to resist the interference of teachers, but also to keep my attention. I often can't see anything and feel very anxious. The most cost-effective way of water class: do tasks that don't require a lot of brain power and choose to do small things.
What I recommend most is to take notes for your exam or textual research.
Sorting notes is a very efficient action for the exam, refining key knowledge points for your review. And sorting out notes doesn't require much thinking and energy, and it can be done anytime and anywhere. It is difficult to recite English in water class. But you can do the accumulation of English vocabulary and phrases in water class, and accumulate your corpus pamphlet for your CET-4 and CET-6, and even for the IELTS TOEFL test.
Step 3 write it at the end
It is better to act than to complain. Don't be led by the nose and tied to a chair by "attendance, roll call and usual points", but use water lessons to enhance your value.
There is no need to feel anxious and disgusted with poetry and water lessons. If all the courses in the university are key courses, it will be very tiring to finish them at one go. It's also good to take a lesson or two to adjust your mood occasionally as a buffer.
