I'm taking an Auditing class right now, and I hate it for that reason. It only talks about the broad theories; they never show how to apply it in a real-life situation. Just listening to him spout out "in this broad situation, you want to do one or more of these X things" gets old really quick. If he didn't give a quiz every single class period I would never go to class; I learn more from the book than I ever do from him. You know how much of this I'm going to retain? Probably nothing. Meanwhile, I'm taking a COBOL class where we are doing a bunch of programming projects; all of the projects are real-life situations, where you apply the stuff she is lecturing. You know how much of that I am going to retain? A whole bunch, and even though I can't stand the archaic language it holds my interest due to the fact that I am actually interacting with the subject matter and seeing how it actually works to resolve problems.
