Why so much homework?

I don’t have much work to do YET, but it seems as if a lot of people around me seem to have already begun to stress out about school in general.

I understand that students may like to achieve a mindset of managing their time wisely to escape the inevitability of procrastination. But it’s only the first week! Ahh! Professors go over their syllabus, course expectations and at the most start on chapter 1 of whatever lesson they’re teaching.

I’ve had my first dose of actual work to do for most of my classes. As usual, Calculus gives me brain farts. It didn’t bring back good memories at all. I just ended up with a headache.

It’s the beginning of the year and everyone wants to get off to a good start. I respect those students who are motivated to do their work, but it’s not worth stressing over when we haven’t even had a week’s worth of classes under our belts.
