[QUOTE="UndercoverPunk, post: 3310086, member: 554673"] Ok, I'm in a "Modern refrigeration practice" class, and I have my handy dandy textbook. There's a lot of stuff in this course that I just don't know, and I'm kinda skipping ahead since it's only offered in fall, so I'm really trying to play catch up to the other students. Problem is... every time I read the book I get about 10 minutes in and I start dozing off. EVERY TIME. What I do manage to read isn't really sticking either. I already know the base concepts being discussed, so it would seem that the finer details should fall in place, but nope, I'm turning up a big jack shit on the progression scale. Before some of you start... Yes, I CAN read. Yes, I CAN comprehend. I don't read a whole lot of books, but I've never had this happen before. This book is SO boring, SO technical, and SO bland, that even if I just finished a double shot of espresso, it puts me out like it was it's job. Does anyone have ANY tips or experience with this? I've been maintaining great grades and would like to keep it that way. I'd like to take care of this NOW, instead of later being as I'll be writing a research paper later. Thanks guys. UCP [/QUOTE]
