Not for nothing, I'm a college senior who is graduating this coming May. And as a senior in college I think it's pretty pathetic how professors still treat students like incompetent babies...who can't handle real work! I'm sick of doing pointless assignments that are a waste of my time. What's the point of these assignments, can someone please tell me? Cause honestly, I'm stumped!
As a college senior also sick of all the stupid games that the college itself plays on its students. For one thing when I register for a certain class, I expect it to be the class I registered for, I expect it to be the same class as it was described to me countless times by my advisor and by course catalogs. I don't expect to walk into a class that I need to take for my major and that will only help my career in the long run only to find out that this class isn't what was expected. In fact, to find out that the class has nothing to do with what it supposed to be about, but the course was changed! Well if it was changed, well then don't you think that the students taking this class should have been made aware of it so that they can decide whether or not they want to take this class? Oh no, of course not, that would be...dare I say it...considerate!
As a college senior, I'm also sick and tired of receiving grades that I surely don't deserve because let's see, I'm not the teachers favorite or pet. I shouldn't have to prove myself to anyone, especially a professor who is honestly no better than I am. It's been like this for years now, and I'm soooooo incredibly over it. I'm sick of receiving a passable grade because maybe I don't talk as much as the next person, I'm sick of not getting graded on the actual content of the work I do. I'm not sorry that I'm not like every other person in my classes, or that I speak freely on whatever I choose. I'm not sorry that when I raise my hand in class to answer a question, I never seem to get chosen because let's face it, the professor would much rather talk to the student of their choice, because let's see, maybe that professor favors him or her over the other people in class, other people who may be more capable, other people who are actually interested in learning...and not wasting mommy and daddy's hard earned money.
It's about time professors got off their high horses and realized that students work just as hard as they do, if not harder. It's about time that students started to earn respect and rightful grades that they receive because of the work they do rather than the way they look. It's about time I get out of Monmouth University!
