This is outrageous.
So far in Digital we've had two classes. Call me critical but I think I have a right to complain when mid terms is next week and we've yet to learn something, anything.
For the pass few weeks, we've either done nothing or they've been canceled. It's now the middle of the term and midterms are around the corner and what have we learned? Nothing except that our instructor prints on really nice calendered paper.
Sure she gave us readings, three 500 page user manuals for the printer, a couple other 52 paged PDF's, a PowerPoint or two and 5 chapters from the book, but what did she actually teach? What did she actually lecture on? Nothing. I'm not kidding here.
Honestly speaking, our instructor is a really nice lady. I have nothing against her. She's been teaching a similar subject for a while in a different setting but now that she has to de-brand the material she's teaching, she's not doing such a hot job on it. We're probably not giving her an easy time either though, always moaning and groaning. I'm sure she knows that we're not happy with what's happening and that's probably putting stress on her too but geeze.
From what I think, if I wanted to just read the book, I would have. I'd have just taken a correspondence course instead of having to leave my house 3 hours early just to get to school on time. At least with correspondence, I could just stay at home most of the time and be the pig that I am while I study.
Last week she had to cancel because her daughter was really sick. Now I understand that. I'm fine with that, but we only have this class once a week. In a regular school (see: non BCIT setting) a 4 hour class like this one is equivalent to a week of classes. The least she could do is reschedule the class or make it up. We didn't even have a midterm review or anything.
So we've learned basically nothing. *Sigh* I'm a little frustrated right now. I'm going to fail this midterm and I'm going to get kicked out in my first year. This is BS.
I have to give her points though. She has no teaching degree (I think) and she agreed to try and teach us on her free time after work. In the end, I truly appreciate it, even if I'm not too happy with how everything is going about. I'm not too sure about my classmates though. I know what's happening with us is probably going to kick her self esteem down. I hope it doesn't cause her too much grief but I know she's going to be affected in some way because seriously, who feels good when you're told you suck as a teacher?
Actually when you think about it, her teaching style probably works but not with us. We're used to a lecture or hands-on type teaching. Her style reminds me of the U of A where they just assign 200 paged chapters to read and called it a day. *Sigh* Ah well, we'll see how we do on the mid term. Whatever goes, goes I guess.
Did I ever mention that I hate the U of A?
