Anthropology

Anthropology... Not sure I am going to make it through this class. I did get 10 points on my essay quiz but then everyone in the class did. He then told us that this was a level 2 college class, and that spelling, grammar, and punctuation all needed to be correct. You need to be able to write a complete sentence. Then he picked on the researching we did on each word. In other words, he wants us to look up the words and know them, but also be able to relate them to something he teaches or one of the many articles he buts on line. He really does not follow the book. Most of the words are not in the book from the Week word list. He said we will have another quiz on Thursday but did not say what it was over. Is it week one word list or week two word list? I sent him an email and he did not answer. So, how can we have a quiz on something we haven't even studied in the book or in class. In the syllabus and in class he said he would put 5 words on the board and we were to pick two to write about. He picked one word for us. Not at all what he said. Now, I don't know what to study and I am finding it hard to find the definitions to the word list. I walked out of that classroom feeling completely stupid.

I think he is a good higher level, critical thinking classroom teacher. I think he is every worldly with a little ego to go with it.

I plan to talk to my tutor and advisor to tomorrow and see what they say. Maybe I am not ready for this type of class. I am holding my own in all my other classes so far.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I am in my mid 40's. My age is catching up with me. If I have to go a full three years, I will get out of college at the age of 48. Tonight I am wondering just what I was thinking by going back.
