Yes, Fezboy is once again up against the clock. There is so much to say, and even though I’ve been typing, my throat is sore. I would like to apologize for those who read yesterday’s post, and, well, you were in on the ground floor at least. I hope to not use phrases like ‘skin the eel’ often. I also don’t want you to think this is a forum for bathroom humor – although a little here and there never hurt anyone.
I could tell you all about weird person/bathroom experience number two, or I could tell you about my class today. As a little mix-in, here’s a bit on my class.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Fezboy is currently trying his little heart out to go back to graduate school in Information Science. As a preface, let me say that I was not a conscientious student as an undergrad. In fact, there were times that I was downright lazy. This translated to me really appreciating classes like the one I had today.
I’m thinking to myself that graduate level courses should have a greater degree of difficulty, or at least a greater expectation for students to be independent learners. In class today, we spent 75 minutes going over a list of definitions that we were to do for homework and turn in today. Well, okay, I have a few problems with this statement already. Calling assignments homework grates against everything I came to expect from my grad-school experience. Also, handing in a list of definitions seems a little pedestrian for the amount of money I am paying to take this class.
However, the worst part about this whole ordeal was, we had spent the entire class last week going over this same assignment. Actually, what is probably even worse is that several people did not even complete the assignment before class today. All they had to do was type the answers to the questions as we covered them in class last week. Not hard at all. Of course, spending a little time at home brushing up the definitions was definitely in order, but still, we’re talking about an investment of maybe 45 minutes – tops!
So now Fezboy looks like a total ass kisser because Fezboy answered all of the questions as we went over them a second time because Fezboy was sick and tired of the whole waste of his time.
Did I mention that I think I’m getting sick?
Well, off to beddie-bye again. I must fight the infection that would overpower Fezboy‘s larnyx and surrounding area.
