Manufacturing

I've been really bored in my manufacturing class throughout the first few weeks that I've had it. Even what should have been interesting, a tour of a manufacturing plant just west of town, wasn't. Granted it was not interesting because the only person in the company who knew we were coming forgot so we wasted 45 minutes of the hour we had available since people had classes they needed to get to. So we got to see one machine that was not running. It was an impressive looking machine, but it would have been more impressive to actually see it do what it was supposed to do.

Anyway, I'm really not sure what I supposed to get out of this class. So far not much, because there's not much information to worry about. He lectures most class periods, but there is no test or assignment that actually has to do with the information he lectures about. It seems it's supposed to be building up to the big team project he has planned, but even the plan for that is horribly vague. I just really don't know what I am supposed to do.
