For me, it's not so much the dissection as the "reading with the class" part. My teachers have always INSISTED that we don't read ahead, so a book I could read in a couple days takes more than a month. I lose track of the story, lose interest, and wind up coming away with a terrible recollection of my interaction with the material.

And the group work. UGH. I'm always the only one out of 4-5 people who's bothered to do the reading (and then some, screw the teacher), so I wind up telling everyone else what happened in the book. Whenever I talk to a prof about it, they insist on continuing because I'm being a "leader" and drawing the other, potentially less motivated, classmates into discussion. Yea, and they're less motivated, which doesn't mean they're going to interact with me at all, they're just going to drag my product down.

I love dissecting, analyzing, considering, discussing, and fighting about things in media; it's thrilling and encourages me to think critically (not a natural talent). But when a group discussion turns into a summary of the material, I just can't.
