a rant
Oh, Adam, I can SO relate to this. Grad school is full of people who love to hear themselves talk and at the same time think they are so brilliant. So, about 50% of class time is taken up with people asking questions that aren’t really questions but just excuses for people to try and get other people to notice how smart they are. Eeeek!
All that to say - I’m sorry you have such a professor.
5:13. Monday afternoon.
A 15 page study guide? What is this, someone’s dissertation? Nope. It’s a class that provides no information that even resembles beneficial knowledge. It’s like the cotton in vitamins…it’s just there, and nobody cares about it. This, coming from a teacher who is constantly fighting for her next stroke of vocab genius that simply floats above eveyone’s head. Would it kill to say “what do you think?” instaed of “what are the pre-emptive qualifications of the factors associated with thereby lack of socio-economic activity……anyone?” That’s right. Right over my head. Dissipated in some alternate universe. The hypothetical lost and found…only no one claims these inflated phrases because nobody really cared in the first place.
