Com2Kid's Journal: Death to professors

Who see fit to give homework on Tuesday, a midterm on Thursday, and have the homework due the next Tuesday.

And who don't lecture at all about the homework.

Or give examples on the HW sheet of a worked out problem.

And who think that 2 programming assignments in 4 days (Friday + Saturday + Sunday + Monday) with GUIs is appropriate.

Because, no, it is not.

If things had been gone over in class, sure, maybe.

If the professor ANSWERED his email, maybe. He told us at the beginning of the quarter "Don't bother emailing me, I don' reply".

Oh and he isn't available on Monday to ask questions of. Only on Tuesday, by which it is too late.

WTF..

And for the record: sign errors suck. Right along with coordinate transformations.

considering how many would like to have his job

Considering how extremely competitive the job market is for a professorship, nothing except for tenure can protect this guy from the consequences of his own behavior. You should let the department head know about how he is operating his classes. Even if he has tenure the department can still let him know that he needs to be fair and their can still be consequences. Tenure is meant to protect intellectual freedom and not to promote the hazing of students.

Just be sure and send that from another classmates email address, because you know there will be repercussions. I'd send it from the account of the kid that's making the highest marks and throwing off the bell curve.

Nah, he is a good prof overall, but this one assignment is inane. He teaches lots of computer graphics courses normally, so inverse kinematic stuff most likely seems trivial to him.

He does a lot better than most of the other profs in CS! At least this guy teaches on the board, which is much appreciated!

(versus Professors who use PowerPoint, which is not appreciated. >:| )
