つまらないクラスの問題

今学期アジア文学のクラスを取っています。教える先生によって内容が違って今度は日本作者と映画を見て勉強します。でもそのクラスはまったくつまらない。先生が選んだ本と映画は面白いですが（例えば黒澤の羅生門、鴎外の雁）先生に無駄なポイントを三時間で聞かせられます。
This semester I'm taking an Asian literature course. The content changes based on the professor, and our class is looking at Japanese literary authors and movies. However, the class is extremely boring and a waste of time. The books and movies the professor has selected look very interesting (such as Kurosawa's "Rashomon" and Ogai's "The Wild Geese") but the professor always drones on for three hours about useless information.

たいてい学生が少し自分の意見をクラスの前に言えるのに話し合いをまだしていません。クラスのみんあさんはすばらしい意見と質問があるからスモールグループかペアで話した方がいいと思います。でも現実にそれがない。幸いテストがないから先生の話を覚えなくても大丈夫だけどクラスで頭を使わなくて眠くなります。
Usually students get to share their opinion about a piece but it is in front of the whole class and not an interactive discussion. I think small group or pair discussions would be great for this class because everyone has interesting points of view and provoking questions. But it's not happening. At least there are not tests so I don't have to retain anything, but it's a class where I always get sleepy because of the lack of brain stimulation.

今日から日曜日まで相談のクラスで修学旅行です。楽しみにしています！
This weekend is the EDCO (peer counseling class) retreat. I'm looking forward to it!
