Learning Under Pressure

Many people think that students should be under pressure to learn in a better way. Actually, I was shocked to know that some teachers think if they overwhelm their students, that makes them more professional in teaching!. I don't understand what the students could gain from being stressful all the time!. I agree that students need a little pressure but not to squeeze them.

In the university, I had a subject that was really easy, but the professor was so mean that he was trying to make it as hard as he could. He gave us millions of homework and lots of quizzes ,yet that wasn’t a problem. The problem was that he thought that no one should takes a full mark, and just few students can take an (A) because we are in a university not school !. Therefore, his tests was so long with very short time, and if we answered the half of any question, we will not get any mark on that question, just Zer0, even if he could see that we understood that question but didn’t have enough time to finish it. Honestly, I hated him, his class, the subject, studying, and I was thinking of leaving the university because I went back home crying after his classes. Although I had a high GPA, and I never failed any class, I thought I will fail that class. Eventually, I passed that class with C, but I was delighted that I will not see that person again.

I don’t have any problems with studying anything, no matter how much hard and stress it is, but I have a serious problem with psychological pressure that caused by some teachers because of their weird ideas.
