Fininte Math

Finite Math can suck muh balls!!!!
I know that is a pretty strong start, but seriously... it is horrible. I know that in high school (almost 13 years ago) I was no math genius. In fact, I barely passed Algebra 3-4 the third time I took it. For the record, I had the same teacher the first two times and after the first time, I went to my councilor and begged to be switched to a different teacher, but after failing the second time, then they finally switched me to someone who wasn't a total arse, and I passed with a B, but alas, I digress.
I know that math is NOT, I repeat N O T my strong suit, but I try. By "try" I mean I attempt to learn as much as possible in class and then only do the required homework. This is where I have my problems. I know that IUPUI has the MAC (Math Assistance Center) that is free for students, by "free" I mean they tack on a charge every semester on your tuition, during certain times of the day, but those times usually aren't convenient for me. This is truly a helpful thing!
What I do have a problem with is not just paying $100+ dollars for a book that I have to buy a $3 binder to put it in, but also that there is usually online homework as well. Now they say that you should spend 2-3 times the amount of hours outside of class that you are in class, working on extra problems from the book or online homework. So if I am in class two times a week for 1hr 15min (total for math alone= 2.5hrs) that I should spend somewhere between 5-7&1/2 hours a week working on those extra math problems.... Are they out of their damn minds?
Now I know that I am a part time student, but I can barely do a half hour that night after class without getting pissed that I had already forgot everything the teacher had said, because I feel that she doesn't teach it in a way that sticks in my brain.
This is why I am going to try to make a visit to the MAC every Tuesday for at least 2 hours, a part of my regular schedule. I just hope that those people can help me achieve my goal, passing this class with at least a C+, so I this will fill all of my math requirements for my major, and I will never have to look at another math problem for as long as I live!

So in short.... Finite Math can suck muh balls!!!
