Whitman final grade

I got a C in my Whitman class. I pulled out a 17 out of 20 on the final paper for my C. I had points taken off because of my tardiness with posts (and the fact that I never responded to anyone else's posts).

I just dislike the discussion boards. Why should I have to read the same thing from every member of the class and try to come up with something witty to say about it? Why can't I just read my textbook and answer my questions and write my papers? These online course save the travel and the "must be there" seat time, but they increase listening to the other poor slobs in the class. I'm sure they don't want to hear from me and I don't want to hear from them.

I should be able to take these classes by myself, individually, at my own pace. That should be online education.
