Angry School Rant

Feel Free to Disregard.

I'm SO FREAKING MAD. This semester has been crazy for many reasons, least of which includes the excess of school work and the heavy load that the second semester of Social Work at UCF brings. Dealing with school, family, friend and Wesley stuff, along with internal struggles has left me feeling drained and I'm trying to keep turning to God for comfort and peace.

But I really really really really really can't stand it when Professors can't or won't do their jobs well. I am so blessed, and probably spoiled by Mary Mann. She is an amazing professor, and not only is there for us as people, caring about us as individuals, but she actually TEACHES, and, you know, gives assignments in due time, and realizes that we aren't only in her class. I can't say the same for all my professors.

I came home seething this afternoon from class. We haven't done hardly ANYTHING this semester in this class, he comes in 10 minutes late every week, doesn't even follow the syllabus, doesn't really teach anything, reads from his notes and has us write definitions down verbaitum to be spewed back out for quizzes, gets on tangents that don't really add anything to class content, lets us out usually an hour or more early, and then TODAY, decides to give two major assignments over the next two weeks, at the same time all of us are finishing/working on our major lit reviews for our social work research classes. OH, and he won't give us the outline/rubrics for the assignments until the week before its due. So, for example, our community meeting assignment, in which we have to attend a meeting and then write a paper/present a summary, is due April 10, but we don't get the rubric of what all we need to do/include until April 3, so we have exactly one week to not only find a community meeting, but attend said meeting, write a paper and prepare a presentation, to be presented the following week. MAKES NO SENSE AND I JUST UGHHHH I'm SO ANGRY.

And don't even get me started on my research class. I thought that it was the worst, and that I was frustrated with it and how we were doing assignments and stuff, but even it is an improvement to this stupid Assessing II class. I have no problem that we have these assignments, they're great assignments, but maybe you know, space them out throughout the semester, and you know, actually teach content, and maybe, you know, do your job. -.-
