Araby said: InfiniteRufus said: I basically did that for the first three years of my undergrad, lol. I kind of regret it, but oh well. I did literally nothing last year apart from the two weeks before the exam (and the 1.5 weeks during them) where I suddenly realised how much of a dipshit I'd been in not working up until then and worked my ass off. I did alright considering, but it's not an experience I want to repeat. You did nothing? I'll describe how much work I did. I completely skipped two days of lectures every week in addition to missing other morning lectures. Those I went to I often slept through, if not I was rarely paying attention. This escalated to the point where I didn't attend a single lecture during the last two weeks of the second term, or the entire third term. I did no work outside of lectures except to do some weekly problems which I essentially copied off friends. In terms of the modules I took, the worst attendance was astronomy, they had two lectures a week, one of them was on a Friday morning at 9am followed by a 3 hour break. I didn't go to it once. I missed the other lecture half the time, and slept through it when I was there. I ended up having to learn it in two and a half days. The fact that I didn't think to myself "if I don't do any work I'll be a bit fucked for the exams won't I?" at any point during my year until two weeks before my first exam is perhaps the most retarded thing I've ever done in my life. It's so bad because it wasn't even one instance, it was me ignoring the obvious consequences for 8 months. So Araby, if did you basically do that? If you repeated that mistake 2 times then god help you. |
| I always take my notebook to the classes so whenever the class is boring I put earphones and watch some anime or play some game. |
| I politely inform them that they are boring. |
TallonKarrde23 said: You are paying for courses in college, if you have a bad teacher demand to be withdrawn and changed into another equal course and also file a complaint against the teacher with the staff so he can be looked into. This is a product you're being given in exchange for cash when you're in university, it's a business, you don't take shitty service and ignore it or avoid it - you do something about it. Stop treating college like an easier-to-avoid version of high school. You should be there for an education, not "because I have to go but lol i'd rather play games during class". You aren't a child, and you shouldn't be wasting space in a uni if you aren't there to learn. now that's bs. That's very relative. I, for instance, am there just to get a diploma. Most of the stuff I'm seeing there is stuff I already know. So between keep watching classes about stuff I already know, id est, boring classes, and playing games/watching anime, I'd rather be doing the latters. |
| I was that kid in high school that the history teachers hated to have because I would consistently correct them when they got a date or name wrong and would argue with/call them out whenever they tried to put their personal opinions into their lectures. |

I just didn't put any effort into actually learning the material. I wrote stuff down while spaced out for most of every class. When it came to assignments, I did what I could without knowing anything and then copied the rest off of other people (thereby learning nothing). I'd cram for 1-2 days before midterms or 4-5 days before finals and then wing them as best I could. I'd forget everything I learned while cramming shortly after. I also missed a midterm worth 35% of my mark once, lol. Stupid times. |

| Spacing out or just doing some sketch on some pages of my notebook. |
 |
| My biology teacher is a "birder" which is basically a birdwatcher's slang for birdwatcher. Anyway, he talks about birds all the time (its hella boring) and we barely talk about biology. So what I usually do since I have a boring teacher is draw sketches (normally just random shapes because i cant draw for shit) or I do spin tricks with my pencil. |
| I didn't know bird watching was actually a real thing. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Stare out the window and just daydream until the class is over |

Araby said: Oh, trust me. They have a whole gang for this type of thing.I didn't know bird watching was actually a real thing. |
| Last semester I had 1 really boring class, the teacher was fine but the subject was boring.. so I read manga on my iPhone the whole time, I finished berserk 300+ chapters under a few weeks.. and I almost failed that class.. Wouldn't recommend. |
 |
| When bored out of my mind in class, I just daydream lol. That or I draw what I'm thinking, even if I'm not very good at drawing. |

| Ever beaten-off in class? People look at you funny, but it's not so if you make sure the teacher doesn't notice. Stealth-beating is really an art, I'm telling you. |

| Oh man thats the worst, i totally failed science in high school partly because my teacher was the boringest human to talk the earth. Of course thats just an excuse if i gave a fuck about school like i do now i would have probably made an effort to pass but it surely didnt help at all. So now i'm currently in adult ed for science so i can get a diploma ]: |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| rather than trying to find a way to kill time, when the teacher was rubbish i would try to force intelligent discussion on the class. if you start asking a lot of questions it can be a lot more fun. |

| I just daydream until the teacher asks me if I'm okay Off Topic: I had a Science teacher who got erections in lesson and watched porn during break. He couldn't teach for shit but somehow I got 383/400 on the test |
| I just play on my cellphone/laptop or put my earplugs in and let the thoughts flow |
| I'm taught by a mathematician with a head shaped like a loaf of bread, a biologist who knows what gonorrhea bacteria smells like but refuses to say how, a physicist who threatened to throw the class out the window for chatting and is in favor of administering a painful electric shock to latecomers and a chemist with a horrible fascination for neurotoxins ..... I just watch Family Guy on my iPad. |
 |
| Work on my homework from another subject. |
 Steam: Zeemanhuismerk |
| I usually just forced myself to get through it. If it gets too boring, I just read my notes from other subjects. That way I get to spend my time wisely. |
 |
| Zone out. Listen to music. Go on MAL or Tumblr. Draw. Do homework for other classes (may as well do something productive, right?) |
| Ehh, boring teachers never really bothered me that much. I'd usually just have a chat with a friend sitting near me or something while working on my own study. |
| Sleep |
| I became an artist. I drew every single random thing I could. |
| i plug in my earphones and listen to anime songs :) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| That is so immature. Get up and leave because the class is boring. |
| for the teacher's who can actually teach but bore's you; are not the product of entertainment and it's disrespectful to leave in the middle of a lecture. |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
| Sudoku existed :o |
 |
| impressive how you guys keep finding threads from 2013 |
| Attend classes but sit and read manga. |
| daydream, read, or sleep. |
| Just wait until you get out of school and you see people still listening to more boring lectures I had no idea people did that until a few months ago, gonna kill myself brb. |
| Watch anime that i download on my phone. |
 |
| My accounting professor is really boring all he does is read power points word for word off his computer. I use my laptop and do homework for class or browse the internet. |
