I feel so sorry for the students. The individual who designed the course forced on everyone who teaches Comp II online is a fucking idiot. I mean, really. This is an online course. Most of the students are a long ways away.
If they have internet problems, more likely than not they will not be able to access the computers on campus. At all.
And how the fuck are distance learning students supposed to do a group presentation? And explain to me how the fuck creating a Power Point presentation is at all an appropriate assignment for a fucking basic composition class? A professional writing class, or an Oral Communication class, sure, but a fucking basic composition class????
No. Just...no.
You know, I thought I was being a bitch when I looked up that individual's RateMyProfessor rating, and then compared it to mine. Hers is 2.9. Mine is 4.3.
I begin to see why. The fucking twatwaffle is so incompetent she should be in teacher ed, not actually teaching students.

My youngest daughter is doing online high school. The teachers are idiots here too. (not you) If you are out of town or sick they get pissed off and unroll you from they class, then you have to get enrolled again.
ReplyDeleteWe had no internet for a few days in Nov.,she was dropped, and had to start one class from the start of the school year. She had to do over 11 weeks of school all over again.
I'm going to be advising any student that asks to drop the class, and take it on campus. I like to think that I'm a good teacher, but that's when I'm working from my own material. I'd advise this stupid bint that designed the course that, instead of teaching, she should move to Nevada and become a fellatio artist; however, she's definitely stupid enough to blow instead of suck.
DeleteI've found that there are many things in college bureaucracies that rival or surpass governmental bureaucracies for stupidity.
ReplyDeleteWe're fighting the online-class fight right now. The current issue is that some of the "feeder" junior colleges for us have gone to offering an intro-bio online with NO lab. And students are coming in believing they are equipped to take our higher division courses when they don't know what a beaker is, or how to pipette, or ANYTHING you do in a lab. Most of the students, when we encourage them to re-take our version of the class (in person, with lab) willingly do, but there are those few folks who figure they know better than the profs.
There's that, and then there's the fact that very few students are taught much of anything beyond test-taking skills in high schools any more. Both the cost-cutting "no labs" and the problem with the school system in general are causing major problems in teaching incoming students in all disciplines that focus on skills and knowledge (which leaves teacher education, sociology, and journalism right out).
