When you need to do something you are not good at, and someone else is. Let that person be the one who does it. Else you would be wasting a lot of time on something not important, but difficult. Over here, the teachers are only allowed to make test questions on which the answer is findable in the books, so I don't need lectures therefor. However, I try never to skip one, just because it is fun with friends! Failing to ask for help is a great one.

I would still go to class because I felt I 'ought' to, and I noticed something brilliant. Although class was boring and useless, you would never know when the prof might say something intelligent or important, so you don't want to miss. However, you don't want to fall asleep and start drooling. Well, some students were reading the book during class. That way, they were getting their readings done, and not skipping (and possibly missing out on something important). At least they weren't completely wasting their time. Although we can argue whether or not this is respectful to the prof, I thought it was a good alternative to skipping. I have one “really bad prof” who doesn’t know how to teach.
