I shot the sheriff professor

Seriously, I'm about to.

So, in my comm. class today, we all got up to do PowerPoint presentations and then at the end he basically told us all we flat out sucked. We modeled our frikkin' PowerPoints after the guidelines HE gave us and the ones HE shows us in class!!!!!!!!!! He hasn't TAUGHT us anything, so we assumed we should follow by example.

Oh, and how about the part where we have to go BUY a camera. And, yes, then we have to pay for the BATTERIES!! (And it's not digital so it's worthless other than class, basically, since I don't have a scanner.) This is of course after the $50 we paid for a stupid frikkin' thumb drive AND however many hundred we spent on the books (yes, plural) for his class AND what his class costs in tuition when you do the math.........all for a class I haven't learned shit in!

He's just lucky I didn't have any sharp objects with me, cause I sit in the first row and I would've been at him before anybody could've stopped me. Not that anyone in that class would have since we were ALL pretty livid.
Like, it's one thing to provide constructive criticisms. It's different to get up and say "Really, everything I've seen was inept. Those were awful." which is what he did.

In brighter news, Katie and I have decided which apartment complex we want to live in. YAY!!

I think you should have taken your shirt off. There would have been no doubting your abilities at that point.

I want to shoot my lecturer too. She has problems speaking English and then breaks into long Sentences of Spanish! Mind you it is my Spanish class but we are not that advanced!!

Can you speak Spanish?

Kev in NZ

I have an idea that DOESN'T include killing the ass. Let me know when your class is, and I will run in the classroom in my tighty-whities, run up to him, plant a wet one on him, and you and your classmates can take pictures with your 50 dollar cameras! Gay Porn Star and the Prof? Can you say automatic A's everyone to NOT publish the pictures?
Brilliant, no?

Just remember that many professors vent their own frustrations on their students. It was like that with my writing professors. You had to follow their guidelines - and they had strict ones - about how to write essays and papers. Then, they'd break it all down and completely contradict themselves. It's classes like that where all you can do is follow their lead and get the hell out of it with a passing grade.

Kevin, are you sure you're not taking Spanish classes at my high school? We had a professor just like that -- which is why I took four years of Italian and avoided Spanish completely. :P

Pete...perfect!! I love it! We have class Thursday (tomorrow) morning and we are all supposed to have our cameras for it, I'll see you there? :P

Eric, I know that professors do that but there's a difference betweeen being self-contradictory and insulting your students. He straight up called us inept, which honestly you'd think he'd pick up on the fact that if a professor's entire class is inept at something he's teaching them to do...it's not the class's fault.
