I used to be really interested in Biology, and then I took some Biology university courses and they had the same issues as what’s described in the video. I understand the importance of knowing all the classifications and the names of every little thing ever, but when all I’m doing is cramming definitions down my throat, I don’t want to know any more, or have anything to do with the material. And then they wonder why less and less people even show up to class, it’s not that it’s too hard for them, you, the teachers, are not trying to make it interesting or relevant for us to know or care about.
