Dear Students

[cornerofmadness]

I am furious with you. Yes Human Anatomy & Physioloigy class I'm talking to you. This is a 3000 level course. Your mommies aren't here to hold your hands. In fact, I've been your mommy for a month now, spoon feeding you everything you need to know. Don't believe me,  go look at the hand outs on my web site. Go look at the review that tells you EXACTLY which essay questions I'll ask. (in fact go look at how I prettied up my site). It is a slap in the face to have the first five of you done with the exam to have NOT even attempted the essays. I was so tempted to punch a wall I had to quit grading the tests. I'll resume that when I have a case of beer at the ready. I know I'm not THIS bad at teaching since I've now been at it long enough to know that most of my students usually do far better than this (with a lot less help than you're getting at this point)

Note to self, learn to fucking proofread your own exams. You misnumbering things does NOT instill confidence in the students and just makes life even harder.

thank you. I needed something to dissect next week...though I'd rather use a student at this point

Oh my, hon... Maybe you should hand them preschool worksheets with crayons for the next take-home handout.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm considering it

*hugs you* *beats your students for you*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I appreciate it

You have GOT to be kidding me?

But on the other hand, it doesn't surprise me. Things are a lot different nowadays, and not for the better.

Hey! Look at me! I commented!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes you're doing so well :-P

And yes there is a lot more laziness and a lot more 'you owe me' attitude now

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Yes there is... and that's just wrong in every sense of the word.

I think in some classes, the more you give the more they expect and the less they work. So frustrating!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think you're exactly right.

I'm offering you the same choice I offered Megs - Bazooka, flame thrower or horkin' big sword. I'd personally go with the sword, it's got the scare factor down.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I need to do some dissecting. Give me the blade

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Whinging horkin' big sword your way!

Megs also requested Aragorn to go with it...shall I send you Lancelot as portrayed by our favorite Welsh boy?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

OOOO i wouldn't say no

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I figured not. *grins*

Oh my, you need a punching bag?? Sorrie can't find any pics on punching bag for you and please don't punch the wall, its not worth it..they expect you to spoon feed all the time, shd not be the way. I remember when I was still in school, my lecturer don't even spoon feed us that much, your students are so lucky and they don't realised it, do they. Cool down, nowadays students are very dependent on teachers unlike like those days, we have to learn everything on our own =D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

seriously. It really has changed a lot. Hell I'm too nice to them. They would disagree

[spideygirl81.livejournal.com]

Ya this is true, times really change a lot. When I was younger, I remembered my dad used to nag at me saying that in my time, I consider very lucky to be spoon fed, unlike like him, he has to learn on his own and in those days, if you do not know your work, you get beatings, very strict discipline in his times. Nowadays, students are getting too daring and they have no respect at all. Seriously, don't be too nice to them, not worth it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm aiming for nice but not too nice. Given the looks I got yesterday I'm just 'the bitch.'

[spideygirl81.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes it good to be 'the bitch'. If you are too nice to ppl, they make use of you so its better to be one, you know what i mean right. This world is weird man!!
