carlfoxmartenI have never said this of any course I've ever taken until this one, but I'm really regretting taking this last AI course under this particular instructor.
She is officially a professor, which means that she is involved with research in her field as well as teaching.
This may or may not be the reason I'm having problems with her.
The problem is that she's kind of forgetful and scatterbrained.
She apparently does know this, and is why she is adamantly against putting up assignment information on a webpage somewhere we can find it easily.
Which brings me to my frustration with her.
With this lack of solid information in a central location regarding what we're supposed to be doing, I haven't been able to get a solid lock on when things are due.
Meaning that I've been late on most assignments.
Though I haven't been the only student late or not even submitting assignments, and I think they're having the same problem I've had.
I mean, if you can't organize your own thoughts, how do you expect your students to organize them for you?!
Yes, she has sent almost all the assignment information to us via email, but she's thrown absolutely everything together, making it an absolute pain to find anything at all.
I've actually started dreading her messages...

Date: 2010-08-04 07:39 pm (UTC)My seventh-grade science teacher must have been saved by tenure. When she showed my mom what a poor job I was doing, she made the mistake of showing the whole class's grades. Because of the curve, I got an A- for that advisory. My sister got her two years later and similarly complained of her nagging, "You're all gonna fail!" We both hated the class and didn't learn as much as we would've under a better teacher, but at least we learned not to be apprehensive. Alas, my next science teacher was no better.

Though me eagerness is also tempered by the realization that what I'm learning in this course is almost completely useless outside of a specialized research setting...
