What I mean is: like, for example, when you're assigned to read chapters 3 and 4 on 'national racism' for next class... It talks about things that were already obvious; the important parts come on the teacher's powerpoint for the whole class to make notes of, so the class gets an idea of the test material.

I've been keeping up with the readings until this week (I've been assigned over 200 pages to read), and just looking over the text, I can just see things that I'll either probably forget, or never make use of (that's what it seems like at least). So tomorrow I'm going to experiment with not reading the assigned material to see how much it really matters... I know some people will say I should really do it but it's not like I'm taking history or chemistry... My classes are: Peace and Conflict, Canadian Ethical Studies, and English.

Has it happened to anyone where you get frustrated after having read 200 pages and only talking about one small section in class which is put up on the class overhead anyways to write down? Is reading that fundamental?
