I would love that system.. Plus professors to go through a re-evaluation process with tenure. -.-
I am learning NOTHING in this class.
I have concluded that if I do not pass the midterm, I will resign from this class too and drop to 6 credits.
I can't do this shit to myself.

Woah, you need to try your best in that class Ser. Hate to say it, but you don't want to put yourself farther behind.

I'm at that I don't care anymore state. I'm doing that bad in my opinion.
The thing is, I don't have many options to try to improve my grade if I don't do well on the midterm. The midterm, final, final paper, and the 2 graded assignments are very crutial.

Ahh, those classes are a pain, but still, give it your very best. You're getting to the point where that is a lot of money wasted.

Oh I know... But, I know if I fail. I may not have much of a chance. I dunno. I'll figure it all out eventually. I have till the end of March to really decide.

I'm just so burnt out. I have to agree with my friends that this professor is an example of why professors should go through a re-eval process or just a check up process after tenured.
I'm just burnt out. I'll figure it all out. Thankfully on Tuesday my group is meeting so we can work on assignments and I can get ahold of one of the girls and the 2 of us will get together to go over the assignments i didn't hand in ^^"

I had a math teacher like that. I hated him and the way he taught, I suffered through it and STILL almost want to take the class again because I still don't grasp the materiel

I had a professor once who ran a girl out of the room crying on the first day. THAT is a professor who deserves to lose their tenure, but of course not.

Of course I don't want anyone to lose their jobs and stuff, but that's just not okay. That poor girl. She really needed a hug.

But we're all burnt out Ser. Just do your best--summer is not that far away, and spring break is very close.

ElysiumFate: I had a professor tell us on the first day of class "I'm here to do research but they require me to teach x amount of hours a quarter, so here I am." And I wonder why 60% of the students failed the class...

*grimaces* That's a really shitty professor. I hope the evals they got got them at least demoted. If that many people are outright failing, it's just not their fault.

@Ser: You can do it, girl. Just make sure you work extra hard to get everything in on time and such. You'll be grateful to have these classes out of the way, and not moved to a later date to be retaken.

ElysiumFate: Nope, he was tenured and actually very respected as a researcher. He published quite a few papers and got all sorts of grants and accolades and whatnot for the university. He was just terrible as a teacher. He would teach us the basics and then on exams expect us to be able to synthesize those basics into advanced concepts he'd never introduced. It's akin to teaching someone the alphabet and then asking them to write a paper. I mean come on, the first day of class he said we had one week to memorize the entire periodic table and we were tested on it! :O

Oh I know.
Thankfully all but 2 of the assignments aren't graded to be counted towards the final grade and most of those I spend a day a week with 2 other classmates working on the assignments and we 3 will sit there trying to figure it all out then.

I just don't comprehend most of what is being said in this class. Thankfully I'm only taking 3 classes, and yeah this one will dip my GPA down a lot from where it is now, but I can handle it. Plus it's not like bosses are gonna look at the GPA, they only care about the fact I have the degree and if I can do the job.

I just had the worst "I'm not using my brain for more than a hat rack" moment. My subscribed threads said that the most recent post in this thread was at 12:48am (that would be you, serena) and I honestly thought "But it is only 11:48 am. How was it 12:48am when serena posted?? Am I suddenly living is a paradoxical world??" And then I remembered that midnight is 12am and noon is 12pm and felt really stupid.

Lololz. I'm sorry Kita. Where was your Gatorade that you couldn't get it? XD

We had the blizzard as well. I really want it to dump one more night so I get out of classes tomorrow.
