Starting College Again

[Annova]

I'm starting graduate school in the fall and yeah I was all for it but now I just don't want to go.

After reading a few articles and talking to some people I don't understand how professors expect you to know it all when you don't know it all. Yeah I know it's a burdern on them when you need help but how else are people suppost to learn? I can't figure everything out by myself.

For example one of my classes has a quiz day one and I don't even know what it's on and can't ask what it's on because I'm expected to know what it covers. Yeah right. Where does one get the skill to mind read?

I thought it was about going and learning how to do things in your field. Not that I should know it all already and graduate school should be a refresher course.

Sorry this is kind of a rant thing but if anyone is in graduate school or whatever any tips?

What are you studying?

And can you talk to your advisor?

Psychology.

Yes I have talked with my advisor but I'm expected to know everything and I just don't. I'm like a deer lost in the headlights.

I guess I'm use to some sort of a direction and I can't even make my own direction because I don't even what I should do to make my own direction.

I've been reading a bunch of things online about graduate school and what to do and not do but like I said I'm lost as to what I'm suppost to be doing.

I know what I do in the program but I don't understand how students are suppose to learn if no one will help you.

Can you talk to other students, then? If there really is a lack of communication, then they should be confused, too, and as a group you can approach your professors. If they're not confused, then you can ask them for help.

I hope I can.

There is suppost to be some mentor people wondering around or something for new students so we'll see.

I just hope I'm not the only one who's lost and confused.
