Too Much HOMEWORK!!! (Blog 9)

My blog for this week is about too much homework. I know we are in college and expect some challenges but come on, we all have lives outside of school. I have couple jobs and things around the house to get done but I can’t because I have so much homework to do. I actually had to turn down work, even though I need the money, just because I had so much homework to do. We don’t need 10-15 hours of homework a week to learn; we get up early every morning and come to class so we can learn. I like the classes that give 1-2 assignments a semester. Those teachers grade those asignments hard but at least it gives us time outside of school to do what we need to do. It seems like I am doing less work in my classes and more work at home. If that’s the case, the college should just have nothing but online classes since we are doing more work at home anyways. Some of the work I do for my classes don’t even relate to the subject but the instructors act crazy if you don’t do the assignment.
The other problem I have is the grading. Like I said before, the teachers that give one or two assignments a semester do grade those one or two hard which I understand. I hate the ones that give tons of work each week and grade each one hard. They ask why we didn’t do a better job and I have told them it was because I am getting too much homework and try to turn in something. Rather get a few points on an assignment than no points.
What the point I was trying to make was either give us a couple assignments we get graded fairly hard on but have time to do or several assignments a semester that don’t take long to do and we get graded fairly easy on.
