50 more days of this bullshit!
posted Wednesday, 8 July 2009
They cancel my class with a days notice. Once class is canceled but I have yet to receive an official notification. They won't buy back my books because I didn't get them there. For the last two semesters books weren't ordered in time or they got the wrong book or excuse after excuse, so I took it upon myself to get the books on my own & now the class is canceled. Who's fault is that? Seriously. INCOMPETENCE!!!
You know how I HATE online classes. Well since two of my on campus classes were canceled now I have all but one class online! Awesome way to end. After all this time you would think that they would get online classes right! You get access to the class Monday morning at MIDNIGHT (not a time to start cracking), then you gotta get the book (cause god forbid you get the book early & they change the book or cancel the class all together), so you order the book Monday & by any luck you get the book next day if you are fortunate to live in the area. If you don't then you are screwed, 2-3 days shipping? So because Northeastern doesn't have any normal classes anymore it's all RUSH RUSH CRAM, 4 or 6 week classes, you have to read 10 chapters in one week, but wait you don't get a week to do the work, you gotta read, understand & post answers to questions by THURSDAY, yes that is one 1/2 days to cram & answer questions. Oh but wait there is more! You have to "discuss with your classmates" by Saturday. SO you have to log on more than once a week & bullshit with others. Class participation is almost a 3rd of your grade!!! I don't want to talk to others! We are supposed to learn from one another. Hello, how do I know that "Suzy" or "David" knows what they are talking about. No ask me questions, let me answer them. If this was a REAL class, I would be sitting in the back taking notes while you TAUGHT, not talking to my classmates!
Summa Cum Laude with two semesters left to go. I lost that status because of all these stupid online classes. How can I be an A student in class but a C student online?? Online classes expect way too much from you & you are already behind the eight ball because of the whole schedule. One day to read. You just skim. It's bullshit. My Associates Degree was a quality education, my Bachelors is just a joke. 50 more days. 50 more days.

Seriously? Suck it up. In online classes you are *expected* to participate
because there's no way to demonstrate that you're paying attention like you
are in a real-world class. Also, if you don't like the books, just send
them back to wherever you got them. It's not rocket science.
