Class Updates
Aug. 17th, 2016 10:11 pmWell, I posted a bit about my classes the other day; being worried about things and such. (You know, the usual. =P) And now, I have a few additional tidbits.
First, my Econ class. I said before that my professor hadn't really posted anything on Blackboard, and that I was worried about that. I speculated that the teacher was either super lazy, or just really clueless about how to run an online class. Well, I think I can now say for sure that he is simply lazy. No more benefit of the doubt for you, sir. =P See, he posted a message to the class today, saying that he'd opened up the discussion board for us....because he wants us to post there if we have any questions, to "give your classmates a chance to help you". Yeah. He wants us to rely on other students answering our questions. I mean...seriously. It is your freaking job to answer questions and teach the material to your students. That's what they pay you for! And you don't seem to want to do either of those things. Not cool, dude.
Oh, and the first question posted on the discussion board? 'Where is the course schedule?' =D So I'm not the only one unhappy about that. I have a small, probably naive hope that if enough of us bitch about it, maybe he'll get off his ass and actually post something. (Probably not, but hope springs eternal.)
And I got a message saying my Finance professor had posted something, so I logged in to Canvas to check it out. I said before that I didn't like that he wouldn't give firm due dates for the quizzes or tests, because it somehow tied in to his in-person class, and how stupid I thought that was. Well, I still think it's stupid, but it looks like he might be going to post recordings of each lecture for us to listen to. The one he posted today really only went over the syllabus, but then, the first day of any class is like that. So, I don't know for sure if he'll post every single lecture, but it kind of looks like he might. Which would help, I guess. I'm still worried about this class, due to the grading scheme, and all. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Oh, and I heard back from my Business Law professor. She said to hang on to that book until they got things straightened out with the bookstore. So, I guess it's just a matter of waiting, for now. I assume she'll post another announcement once things are square, and then I can get in touch with the bookstore about switching my wrong book for a copy of the correct one.
...Well, that's it for now. Will I be back again tomorrow? We'll see. ^^;;
