One of my required classes is Internet. The instructor is now lecturing on how to use a web browser! I have been using a computer for longer than our instructor has so I know this already!!! I am getting sick of the way the instructor treats us all like we are children who don't know anything, and I am getting ready to start correcting his mistakes!
*sighs*
This class should be optional - not required for the degree.

I am having a meltdown from the boredom! Now the instructor wants me to install a trial version of software that tracks changes in websites, for an assignment we have to do. I don't want that on my computer.

That is very true, Arcalian.
You wouldn't believe some of the classes I am having to take to get a Computer Information Technology degree. It's as if somebody sat there trying to think of all the different ways they could milk money out of students. Half of what passes for computer information technology classes are classes centered around Microsoft Office. I have had to take three different classes that taught Microsoft Word, powerpoint, and Excel - two of those classes were computer literacy classes that could have been used to teach so much more about computers, but instead they centered on Microsoft Office with a little bit about PC hardware and internet use on the side.

Actually, with the dumb essay questions on the quiz, I am not so sure about that. For instance, we had to write about the four main points of open architecture philosophy. I actually did an internet search for that one while I was supposed to be taking the test. I failed that question miserably.

I feel your pain! We have a new regime at the school. It is good to make us better teachers. When do the students have to have responsibility? When a student is gone 40-60 days out of 184 days, their education is hampered. If they are ill, we can go to them, and I have. If they are just home babysitting what do you expect. I am frustrated with education at the moment. It just isn't black and white--there is a whole world of grey. I do not know the answers, if I did I would be one wealth woman! I just know that education appears to have problems at all levels.
OW I wish you could take a test and just be done with the class--after all if you know the content knowledge you are spinning your wheels.
