(No Title)
Well, I’m sitting here in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics Lab. It has just been announced that groups are to be randomly selected (after carefully making sure friends were in my section). Class should have started 10 minutes ago, and we’re just sitting here with the TA’s reading papers or something. Why is it that classes are made to be hard when the ones that should be difficult can so easily be made simple by a good professor? Here’s a list of some things bad professors do:
- Make you read their minds. I’m already losing in that game from the start because I can’t understand how you could give so many years to your education and then teach for little money while neglecting to become good at it.
- Waste your time. This falls under the sitting around group as well as the needless work group. Labs are notorious in both areas.
- Make you wonder about your grade up to the last minute, even when you’ve done a solid job all semester. No explanation needed. It just sucks. It’s happened about five times. I’m sick of it.
- Don’t understand their own field. Why?
- Don’t care about students. This is the blanket accusation. This means time wasting, laziness, bad teaching, the works.
It’s been 25 minutes now. Good thing the class is two hours long! I would hate to run out of time.
