Information Literacy class

I don't understand why I go to college with such stupid people. Before class today, there was a sign on the class room door that said 'Go To Library'. As usual, I was the first person to arrive in the hall, and I sat down, and started going over dance vocabulary. Three minutes later, these two guys (who apparently are in my class, although I didn't recall seeing them before) came over and wondered of the notice was for them to get to the library.

Ms. K. has only been telling us for the past 4 or so classes about how her 9am class was going to be held at the libary today. But whatever. I told the two boys that no, the sign was for the class ahead of ours, and that we were going to be in our normal classroom.

I then went back to my vocab, and they went to talking about class, and one of the guys was like "yea, today's when we finish that horse farm flyer, right?" The other guy informed him "dude, no, we were supposed to submit it today. We're gonna do a new flyer in class."

I wanted to do a facepalm. a) I had that first assignment in a week ago, and b) I started that second one two classes ago. I stopped when it became apparent that I'd have nothing to do in class today. Instead, I did the weekend's homework, because almost everyone else was working on the first flyer.

This is an easy class. And the teacher makes it even easier - she's always pushing back our deadlines, and because of the snow, she's been extra easy on absences and late assignments.

And people are failing this class!!

I don't understand it at all. Maybe it'll get harder later on, but this is easily the sasiest class I've taken here so far. Sure there's a little bit of technical reading. And yeah, you have to be able to follow directions to the letter. But other than that. It's not that hard.
