Professor Sakai's Essay Workshop #2

I've decided that the essay workshops are completely useless. You go in, sit down, outline essays and go over the answers. The answers are published directly behind the problem. How is this any different than the big essay practice book we have? The outlining and simulating of essays that are the assignments listed on our paced programs every couple days? I can go over them myself, thanks.

Apparently other people in my class agree with the value (or lack thereof) of these essay workshops. The couple in front of me were actively engaged in a soccer game playing on ESPN 360. Then, they left during the second break. More than a handful of people left during the first break.

The fact that it was a Saturday morning class (and day 6 in row of class) made it even more worthwhile. :P I know, I know, we get Monday off. But what I can't understand is why we need to have a Saturday class? It's run through video lecture anyway...why not just play the video on Monday and give us our weekend back?
