I've had a major epiphany about learning that I want to share. Due to certain circumstances, I've ended up taking a Biology for Non-Majors course at my community college. Before I went to a CC, I was academically suspended from a top college. A clue: you have ten weeks of three courses here.
Anyways, my epiphany is about the major difference between high school and college-level learning.
In 9th grade, or freshman year of high school, I took a year long Pre-AP Bio course. I did well in the course, in fact being one of the best students,
The thing is, this Bio course I'm currently taking is the same kind of course, but slightly more rigorous. However, the real surprise is how long this particular course lasts. 8 weeks.
I am capable of learning in 8 weeks, or even much less (if I really applied myself), what I once took about 25 weeks (180/7). I've gone from one environment to a wildly different one and I didn't realized, yet I adjusted.
I think it's amazing.
