The labs are moving unbearably slow. The lectures are moving at light speed. I think we are 5-6 chapters ahead in the lectures than the labs. The instructor lectures from the notes provided with the book, and never expands on or gives any context to any topic. When asked questions, he rambles around the topic at hand until the student gives up asking.

The class has nine people in it. A friend and I are trying to learn welding as a hobby. The other 7 people are trying to learn it as a career. We are about 10 years older than the other people in the class. So far, we weld better too. Instructor gives a lab assignment, and we go do it. Most of the rest of the class is 2-4 assignments behind us.
