It's not more work, it's different work...

I would like to modify this motto in regards to LSEM: It's not more work, it's busy work.

I mean come on, what other Longwood Seminar classes do you know that had to read a book over the summer, write a paper, post a new thread (sometimes 2) almost every week, and volunteer a certain number of hours at FACES (the local food bank)? True, we are honors students, but for a one credit course this seems to be an awful lot of work. To its credit, LSEM did teach us about "stress" and "time management," but lets face it, as honors students we should probably already know how to finish our work and manage our time...and we should definately already know how to use Google. True, the session on using the library was somewhat helpful and it was nice to be done with the class early, but was it really worth all that? Overall I had more work to do in that class than in my three and four credit courses...does that make sense? Raise your hand if you would have rather spent the time devoted to LSEM doing work for other classes or catching up on valuable sleep.
