Back in the days when recess and football plays drawn with fingers on palms ruled my world I was known to have occasionally grass-stained my jeans. Good news, folks! Those days are back - I've got a nice green skid mark up and down my left leg as a result of my lunchtime Frisbee antics behind NAME.
I used my memory and the search feature to do some research before this next rant. This semester has generated (effective after this post) the two most acidic, slamming reviews of courses I've yet had. My beef today is with IOE/ME/MFG 583 Science Base for Reconfigurable Machine Systems. Sounds fascinating, right? NNnnnnnnnnnnn. So sorry! The answer we were looking for was "no, it's an utter waste of time." This dink of a professor assigned a homework due the same day as our major project, then changed the assignment twice, then provided the worst notes ever compiled, then gave only hasty non-assistance to questions, and all of this is on the topic of signal processing. What the hell is going on? Two of my classes this semester are useless and I'm stuck taking them both and putting up with the lowest level of instruction from this guy. To make matters worse, he grades like a monkey hopped up on crack and my group is teetering on the brink of B/B- land unless he reverses our totally arbitrary fortune on tomorrow's presentation. Is it too much to ask to just go to class, get what is on the syllabus, be provided the material required to do the homework, and receive a fair grade? I just want to go to school and learn, and I HATE CRAP LIKE THIS.
