Today on Mike: Studying

I'm getting really frustrated with school, and both of my profs. I'm sick and tired of hearing things like "If you can do this problem, you'll be fine" or "It's really simple". Yeah I get it. You've been doing this for years, and it's second nature to you. But unlike everyone else, I don't have hours and hours to dedicate to this. I'm already dedicating a huge amount of time and not getting it. So instead of being shocked that something doesn't make sense to me, take the time to actually explain it. Don't just say "it's a proportion, so n equals this". Why the fuck does n equal that? Because you said so?
