How much is to much

I am an online student and almost done with college and can't wait. I have three classes to go and this week the teacher i have right now gave us 17 chapters to read and then do all the true, false questions at the end so that is 70 true false questions and i truly think that is way to much because of course you have to read the entire chapter and that is around 10 pages each. Do you think this is to much or am i over exaggerating because i don't like to read on things i don't like or see an interest in.

Hey, I don't think that's too much. The reason is that, you're getting a whole week to complete it. And during this time, it won't be that difficult to read those 17 chapters. And ya, those are just true/false questions right? So there won't be much difficulty in answering those things. We used to have much more than that in our schools.

On-line classes are hard. They tend to be much more reading than traditional classes not to mention a lot more writing. As you know as you are an on-line student. But have you tried to employ the technique of skimming through the chapters until you reach a topic that you really don't know anything about, reading in depth then go back to skimming. At the same time have a highlighter and a note book. In the notebook write down the basics of each chapter and for every new "headline," jot it down, with the page for a quick reference. So when you answer the questions if you don't know the answer right off, you have a quick reference. No you are not over exaggerating, but on-line classes are hard and I learned the hard way they are only for certain types of people and I am NOT one them. Good Luck!!

Yes you need money to take classes, but it can be very difficult. Try to do what you can though. I think we should all try to learn something new everyday. I applaud your effort and good luck to you as well.
