So thats basically it. I was just wondering how the forum would take that. Opinions on prospective teachers and/or additions/modifications would be especially valued
Pick another project. Homework assignments are strictly up to the teacher's discretion. If the teacher is doing a bad job, such as assigning too much homework, administrators will let him know. It seems you believe you are too clever to waste your time doing boring homework...here's something you need to understand: When you have graduated to a real job, it won't be exciting all the time either. There is no job that doesn't have its boring moments. If students knew what they needed to learn, and knew how to learn what they needed, we wouldn't need to spend all that money on schools, so just buckle down and do it.
