Screw You, Asshole
Apr. 11th, 2016 06:34 pmOkay, so I really fucking hate my Econ professor right now.
I've not liked him much to begin with, honestly. He's kind of condescending and just not that personable. But I could deal with that. As long as I don't have to email him for anything, I don't actually have to talk to him.
Then, our last test was pretty messed up. A big chunk of the questions focused on material that was never covered in any of the homework. Yes, technically, it was in the book. But these were chapters with a fuckton of info in them, and we only actually covered bits and pieces of it. So, if we needed to know this stuff, he should have fucking taught it to us. I don't know if he writes the tests, or if they come with the book, but either way. No excuse. Either write a test that covers the same material that we did, or, if the test is pre-written, then teach the material that's on the fucking test! Shortly after that test, he announces that he'll be offering a 'bonus quiz' later in the semester. I can only assume that a big portion of the class tanked that test, and he's trying to salvage things. (I was lucky, I got an 85. Not as good as I'd like, but not as bad as I'd feared, either.)
But all of that is background. Why I already didn't much like the guy. Oh, yeah. He did something else.
See, a while back we had a writing assignment. Which is stupid to begin with, but whatever. We had to write a paper. Some time before it was due, he said that we could send him our rough drafts for critique before the assignment was due. So he could tell us what needed fixing, so we could get a better grade. Or so I thought.
Because I sent him my rough draft. And he didn't really tell me anything. He said it sounded good, and then didn't really tell me anything specific that needed fixing. So, I figured it was probably okay. Maybe not perfect, but I'd get a good grade. Wrong. He finally posted the scores today, and I got a fucking 35 out of 50. 35!! If there was that much wrong with it, why the fuck didn't he say so before?! I could have re-written it! Oh, my God, I am so fucking mad right now. I could reach through the computer and kill his asshole, seriously.
I just. I'm so mad I'm almost incoherent right now. There are not words. And I have to take another Econ class next semester! I'm going to see if anyone else teaches it, and if so, I'll take it from anyone but him. Stupid fucking bastard.
Raaaaarrrrr!
