It is Business Law though, what do you expect?
I'd fall asleep just thinking about how boring that subject sounds...

Well, I don't expect her to make it exciting even, I just want to LEARN and not do all of the learning by just reading the book on my own. We don't even do anything in class.
Besides, at least the subject matter is a little interesting for me. Could be better for sure, could be worse, but man.
|
I agree 100%, especially with the bolded part. I think it would also be more interesting if getting on tangents didn't make her babble on and waste an entire class period.
|
It's awful since that's my last class too. It goes by SO slowly.
|
Oddly enough, I find the fact that she babbles a lot makes the class go really fast.
Oh, I almost forgot about that one girl who always asks her the most inane questions too and she gets dragged out in answering those too. She might be just as annoying.
|
Ugh, I know.

My worse class/teacher ever: Sociology 101.
I had this teacher who only had one tone (which was weird because rumor had it he used to be part of this separatist terrorist gang), not to mention the most boring topic on earth, but the guy just relentlessly played with the change and keys in his pockets. I only realised it during the second class, but after that, it's all I heard for 14 weeks. Still don't know what this class was about... |
That sounds annoying.
|
I quit that program after that semester too.
Actually, I don't like faint background noise type sounds. My partner likes to drive the car with the radio on really low. Just drives me nuts. |
I have a bad habit of tapping. May be the hyperactive drummer in me, I don't know, but I always love banging my hands to random rhythms while just sitting somewhere if I'm not doing much. Drives people around me nuts.

Just relaxing right now. And you David?
So glad I'm done with the college crap, no more little kids to pester me or anything now.

Hanging in there. Too bad I have another 2 1/2 years of undergraduate stuff then I figure another 2-3 years for an MBA. Although I figure I'll be working on my MBA once I get my first job.

There is an MSN abbreviation I have no idea what it means and yet I cannot remember what it is for the moment.
There's another forum I go on and it's much more "serious" that this one. I mean, people tend to stay on topic and not rant about random crap... but most of the female posters (most seem to be in the 30 to 50 age range) all seem to user "lol" at the end of any sentence that is not so on topic.
It drives me potty!

Oh and Mohammed Odeh had his head on upside down too.
Also, there was this deaf guy in our class and he always sat at the front of the lecture theatre with a signer... anyhow, one day he brought in a video camera so he could film the lecture (for lip reading and note taking purposes) but due to Mohammed's religion, he wouldn't let him record and got really defensive about it. The deaf guy (who also happened to be Asian) wasn't best pleased...
Nor were many of the rest of the class.

With profs like those, you can only hope the evaluations are worth something...
The worst are those idiotic idealist who begin the class telling you that they don't believe that professor have all the knowledge about their subject matter. Feck man, I just payed good money for your course, you BETTER have the knowledge.
With one of them that said, turns out he was not far off: he didn't know anything. The last class before the exam, which he said would be special and important, he started by putting on John Lennon's Imagine and asking us to share our feelings about it... I still think I should have asked him to pay for my bus fare.

Yep, it's mostly middle-aged/retired women or retired men. There's The Common Room but even that stays on topic.

MBA = Better pay, better conditions, more promotions, etc etc It used to be that if you wanted top jobs you had to go to college. Now it seems you have to get some type of graduate school in order to even have a chance to compete. And people wonder why so many college kids get out of school with large amounts of debt.

Long laugh I guess, and some people really need those letters to actually GET the message.
