A little college rant for a Friday afternoon.
[MEDIA=30]
About J.P.
Just a guy with a husband. We’ve been together 28 years and he still makes me see fireworks on a daily basis. Hiker. Storm Chaser. Private Pilot. Tech Guy. Hackerish.
Weird? Eccentric!
As an ex-member of college adjunct faculty, I very much endorse your rant. Your instructors are not only not setting a good example and not showing you courtesy and respect as adult students, they are setting up a scenario for rebellion by the students.
Permit me another rant against those who were my peers. On the first day of class hand out a (well-formatted) syllabus, course topic outline, and a course requirements outline that has been well thought out and well formulated – and stick to it. The students deserve to know from day one what is required of them and what they will be doing in the class. No surprises.
Ouch. I very much loathe Times New Roman, it’s quite possibly almost as bad as Comic Sans.
When I was doing my CIPD the thing that anoyed me was presentations HAND DRAWN on one of those desk projectors where you used acetates. What is *that* about? Especially when we had to do presentations using PowerPoint. Glad though that you’re hitting their expectations and more!
