Tests

Oct 23, 2007 07:48

( This was supposed to be me venting about a horrible test and it has somehow turned into a rant on higher education and why I hate that professors are often such fucking assholes who refuse to take responsibility for their own goddam jobs. An actual rant, with a point and all. )

grad school, i require alcohol, bitch is not pleased, i can whine in my lj if i want to, you're doing it wrong, wow my brains hurt, sev capslock(tm), rants: "higher" education, studying sucks a nut, investments in my future, things that suck a dick

I had this problem a few times in undergrad, as well. I mean, if we all do so horribly because we literally didn't even understand what you had written on the test because it was never taught, how can you expect us to actually be able to finish it? My Calc II final I ended up srsly cheating the entire time because no one in the entire classroom knew how to do 4 of the 12 problems... we'd literally never been taught it. How does that work?

SOMETIMES HIGHER EDUCATION IS FUCKING BULLSHIT. ^___^

IT IS. THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG.

What bothers me mostly is that, especially in undergrad, nobody ever challenges the teacher. Nobody ever says, "If a 65 is an A, and my 34 is a C, then your test was too goddamn hard," because nobody ever feels like that's something they're allowed to say.

But yeah. I'm old, I'm loud, and I'm certainly willing to say it this time if no one else is. XD

Go for it, someone needs to challenge the screw-ups in the education system!! ^___^

What are they going to do, kick me out? I've already got an advisor, and part-time students who have large companies paying for their classes are the easiest money a university's going to get. XD
