I can't believe my advisor talked me into taking a grad math class.
I can't believe that he was so *stupid* as to suggest I take a class
that I'd dropped the prereq for.
I can't believe he did this just because he didn't want me to take another
class that I at least had the prereqs in but that he considered very hard.
I can't believe he did this also because the prof of this class asked him
to suggest it to students. I think suggesting a class just because
the prof asked you to thinks nothing of the student you're advising.
I can't believe I was gullible enough to believe him... It won't happen
again.
I can't believe how disorganized this class seems. The prof goes over things
that have no relevance (as far as I and a couple other people can see)
to the class, and his writing is so small it's hard to read from the front
of the classroom.
The midterm is worth 30% the final is worth 50%, and they're closed book
and it's difficult to predict what'll be on them because I don't understand
what I'm even supposed to be getting out of this class, and the prof
seems to like being random and whimsical. He rearranged the syllabus
just because he got bored with the way it was before.
The only redeeming thing about this class is that the prof would "love to
give everyone A's." I probably won't get one, but I suppose it's better
than wanting to give everyone C's.
Whimper. :-((((((((
