I have one of those teachers that just manages to stress me out, through no fault of his own. Well that is a blatant lie, I just can't stand the man and I abhor the way he teaches. Does he truly believe that any one will retain the last thing he teaches especially when it's already past 5:30, and most of us are about ready to go home? I'm sorry sir but that last minute "let me just go over this quickly because you need to know it" is not going to stay with us a second past the door. Does he honestly not know that most people's attention spans wane after 30 minutes? The man talks for hours, literally. The first 1.5 hours of the lecture was spent listening to him jabber on about the program as he attempted to point out the various aspects. As I understand it, a general rule of thumb when teaching anything with an application is that the person actually has work with the program instead of watching someone else do it!
GAH! I am just so frustrated with this teacher. The last time I took a class with him I didn't show up for the last half of the semester. The worst part is I think he knows how much I actually dislike him. Which makes me feel bad because I am pretty sure that he is not that bad of a person, it's just the way he teaches and his need to inflate his ego by rambling on about how great he is! I think I'll end this rant here else I'll just go on for pages.
I did mange to learn a thing or two today unfortunately none of it was related to class material, but I've learnt a few more JAVA tricks and some more HTML coding. Thank god for in class internet access. [shaking head] I am a bad, bad student. [sigh]
