I'm honestly baffled as to how professors get their textbooks published, even though they're completely useless. I don't have the time or energy to read through 500 pages of verbosity and incoherent sentences. What happened to keeping it simple? Why do I always get knocked for being too wordy and unclear in my writing but when I try to read what my professor wrote in her textbook I have no fucking clue what the hell she's talking about. Just because they have a PHD, doesn't mean that some professors necessarily know how to teach. It's so frustrating when I'm trying to understand a concept, but when I look it up in the textbook, I can't understand it. Then when I ask the professor and she can't explain it to me either and tells me to read the textbook! ARGH!
Seriously, they need to get the fuck of their high horse and stop acting like they know everything and that if we don't understand, we're idiots. She constantly fails to express what she wants us to do for assignments and tells us to "just do it according to the textbook". How the fuck am I supposed to do that when in the text, her ideas are all over the fucking map and are improperly labeled? It's like trying to read the notebook of a fucking schizophrenic. I can't believe I paid $80 to be confused, bored and frustrated. I'm so angry right now that I would seriously write a letter to the publisher expressing my feelings except my professor is dying of cancer. I want to feel more sorry for her but unfortunately, I don't. Does that make me a bad person?
As a student, I'm focusing my goals on being successful in the future and using my University education towards my career. Well fuck me because I paid over $1000 for this course to learn fuck all. I'm so full of rage right now I can barely handle myself. Every sentence I read of that textbook makes me feel that my neurons are like they're saying "You seriously fucking want us to waste energy on this shit? Go fuck yourself!" and I feel brain dead.
