You are so right about college classes. My professors and TAs hardly ever speak fluent English, which makes things very difficult sometimes.


Well I gotta tell you, it's definitely a hard knock life trying to get a job these days. Those of us who have them are partly thankful, although many days (today is definitely one of them) I think I'd be much happier to just be shot and have someone else take my job.

Other days I just feel like a monkey pushing buttons.

If I crack look for my future post of me ranting excessively on my job. :(

WTF? You get extra credit in college calc? Very lucky...

I had a phsics prof, emag....what an ass. This guy was shady. Anyways, 1st day of class he made a little lecture on how things were going to be in the class, it went something like this:

I'm professor X. There will be no partial credit in this class. In fact, getting any credit will be difficult. You will probably fail a few tests and you'll get a bad grade as a result of it. If you wonder if I care, I don't.

Well that's not really what he said....but it's pretty dern close.

I had another prof who said this (direct quote): "I don't believe much in partial credit. I have a crappy car in the parking lot where it's obvious the engineers got a lot of partial credit, so I don't believe in it."
