Freshman year, especially Freshman seminar, can be exceedingly frustrating. There are bound to be a lot of people who just aren't very good at analyzing texts, discussing things in a group, or putting aside their own old habits and prejudices. It gets a lot better. Thinking, reading, and speaking critically all have to be learned, and SJC is good at making its students care enough to work at all three, but it takes a while. Just give it a semester or two, if you can stand it.
For me, sophomore year was the worst; but the seminars I got to have junior and senior year were really, really good. It made all the terrible seminars of sophomore year worth it.
i think some of it may be tutor-based personality conflict. i'm not going anywhere, but i'll probably whine a lot. at least until junior year or so.
