Why Did I Take This Class?
Mar. 8th, 2018 07:42 pmSeriously. I actually thought this might be interesting? WTF was I thinking?!
Okay, so I've complained about my Intro to Advertising class before. (My professor, specifically.) Well, now I'm complaining again. I took the test that I mentioned studying for, and sure enough, there was NO material from the book on it. Not even one lousy question. No, every single one came from the supplemental material, which seriously could have been explained better. >_> Thankfully, I did okay; I got a 93. Not as good as I'd like, but I was worried I'd do worse, so I'm not complaining.
And in the most recent 'announcement', the professor said that on the fourth and fifth tests we'd be using things from the book, and he listed several concepts and which chapters they came from. So, we'll see how that actually works out. The next test is the third one, so it'll be a little bit before it comes up.
Oh, and? I was looking at the 'tentative schedule' reading list and you know what I just realized? This jackass prof actually expects us to read the entire textbook. Yeah. Which is 24 chapters, and 780 pages. 780! What kind of whackjob thinks that it's reasonable to expect students to read 780 pages worth of textbook, plus supplemental material, all in one semester? Is this guy crazy?
And this shit is not easy to read; dry as hell, and usually very poorly explained. Lots and lots of terms and names being thrown around that aren't ever properly elaborated on, so it's just like nonsense words after a point. I'm reading it, but I have almost no idea what it actually means.
I'm half tempted to only read the chapters that he mentioned in the latest announcement. Even that was a lot, but it would let me skip a few chapters, at least. I don't know how I'll have time, otherwise. Not to mention, if I actually have to read every freaking word in this damn book, I think my brain will melt and leak out of my ears. =/
...God, I am so ready for this semester to be over already!
