How much coursework, you ask?
Indeed, let us catalogue precisely how much work has been assigned by my Personality Theory professor, herself a freshly-minted PhD still wet behind the metaphorical teaching ears. Three tests, each an hour and fifteen minutes long, covering 500 pages of material in total. One 6-page paper, which will form the basis of a 15-minute class presentation to be planned and delivered with one other student (my partner has already e-mailed me her proposed Powerpoint slides, god help me, and we're meeting on Tuesday). One fifteen-page research paper which must make extensive use of external sources. All in six weeks flat. Bitch be crazy, is what I'm saying. The timeframe is so compressed that the first test is Monday of next week and the second follows hard on its heels on Wednesday of the following week. By contrast, my last psych class was a normal semester length (14 weeks) and the coursework consisted of: A) a midterm. And B) ... a final. Both of which were primarily multiple choice. Sigh.
On the plus side, I estimate I'm now approximately 80% finished with the 6-page paper after starting it at lunchtime today. (Well, not precisely true -- I did take the time to read the 5-page research report on which it's based at 7am this morning, crashed out at F. and C.'s place and unexpectedly perky and hangover-free while waiting for them to wake up. That took all of 15 minutes. While listening to the White Stripes on my ipod at the same time. It's not complicated source material, is what I'm trying to convey here.) So apparently I've lost the writer's block (more like writer's paralysis) which afflicted me in college, turned my term papers into excruciating exercises in procrastination, and eventually contributed to my decision to get out into the working world rather than continuing directly to grad school without passing go (or collecting financial aid in the amount of $200). The torture of having one's (adult) writing repeatedly ripped apart by a peer review committee for an actual scientific journal is not without gain! Of course, this paper is only worth 10% of my grade, so I'm not exactly stressing over it. Truth be told, I'm having some badly-repressed schadenfreude-y fun, since the research I'm reviewing is so shoddy and completely point-free that I get to rip it apart in my turn. Take that, respected author who wrote this report 4 years ago and will never even know about my insightful critique of your methodology! ...Yeah.
