It was sort of fun, because I love a good intellectual challenge, but some of that was ridiculous. I remember on the final, our professor put a bonus question for extra credit and by that time it had already taken me 4 hours, I just wrote down, "You've got to be kidding me". He gave me 5 points for making him laugh.
I imagine it's worse at the college level, whereas my only experience with it was in high school. But I also imagine it's just like Alex said, transformitive. Of all the classes I didn't pay enough attention to in high school, I regret that one the most.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
