Ever passed a class without learning anything?

I'm in college and I've passed a few classes and learned nothing from them. They are mainly classes I never cared about but had to take that are easy haha. What classes have u passed that you didn't learn anything in?

    Most, I played volleyball and was pretty good. I never studied or was interested in school, I'm not sure if my school just had low standards or if they passed me so that the team could go to CIF..Who know?

    Now I'm trying to go back to school because you can't make a living playing volleyball. Come to find out I don't even have a 9th grade level of math in my brain..Ooops

    There were a lot of classes I passed in high school where I didn't learn much of anything, it depended on the teachers. There were a few in college as well like Communications and Working With Parents.

    That's pretty sad, taking a college class and not learning a thing. What's the point? I know you said it was an easy class and you needed the credit. But you just cheated yourself. College costs a lot of money and there are lots of kids that don't get to go. And why didn't you learn anything? Didn't you WANT to learn? If it was that easy, you should have put more time into learning more than what was required...go the extra mile. Who knows, you could have learned something! I just don't understand putting time into something and getting nothing from it. Sort of a waste, huh? That's what I think of my senior year in high school, especially after I turned 18 and became a party animal. I did what was required just to get through it and still graduate. And you know what? That's all I did. I didn't take the opportunity to really learn something. Who knows how much farther I could have gone with my life if I had just put more effort into it. Hindsight is so much clearer than living in the moment. If that's all you want out of your future, I guess you got what you wanted. But, what would have happened if you had done more than the requirement? You might have found out some things about yourself that you never knew, like maybe you really enjoyed the class more than you thought you would. Yeah, I took some classes for the easy grade. But I remember finding out that when I put more time into it, I did much better than I thought I would. I just wish I had tried harder. I also remember a girl who joined chorus saying that she took it for the easy grade. All she had to do to get an A was to show up. It's unfortunate that that's all she did. We could have used the extra voice, as we were a small choir. She short-changed us, as well as herself. Well, all that history comes too late now. Learn from my mistakes (and that girls'), friend. It's worth the extra effort. <*)))><

    At the time when I studied geology as a requirement, I didn't learn anything, I guess the teacher bored me. After I got out of the class, I read the book from cover to cover and have read everything else I could find on the subject. I love it now.

    College Astronomy! The instructor just showed us videos of Cosmos all day long (so many that Carl Sagan was starting to look attractive to me), and the tests were the easiest I've ever had.
