they don't learn but still they think they can teach

so after a day of doing absolutely nothing, i realize that i have homework due tonight. homework i havent started. homework i just found out about two minutes ago. now this wouldnt be such a big problem except that its for my security class. my professor for that class is useless. completely incompetent. she knows absolutely nothing about anything. and yet, she likes to think that she's decieving us into thinking that she's some kind of computer world god. she spends the whole 3 hour class talking about her children or telling us to memorize what acronyms stand for. someone really needs to let her know that out in the real world, memorizing what a bunch of letters stand for really won't help anyone. as long as you know what it does or is used for you're good to go. oh wait, we did. and she insists that her success is all because she knows that SHA-1 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm version 1. she'll read a point off of a slide someone else made and ask us if any of us know what that is or means. at first, we thought she was just fishing for participation. but no, she really was asking what the most basic things were. her favorite phrase: why dont you google that. if we were in one of the rooms without internet connection, i think she'd die. anyways, despite being a complete waste of space in the classroom, she likes to assign incredibly complicated homeworks that she doesnt even understand enough to explain. apparently, she likes to learn new things through our answers. so now i have to go suffer through a homework because mason has apparently become so desperate for professors that they'll hire anyone, despite their incompetence.

  1. I'm so glad I don't have to take any more IT classes.

  3. That's true, but I hope that has nothing to do with Java. I'm nowhere near as high in IT as you are (that sounded weird), but I've sat there in programming, watched the prof work on an example for 30 minutes and at the end of class she goes "That was wrong, go home and play with the code."

    It really sucks that they do that in the higher level IT classes. Do you still learn?

  4. lool woow that sucks... but yeah java was horrible for everyone except those kids who were born programming. a lot of the upperlevel professors are actually pretty cool, it just sucks when you get one of the retarded ones. i have two this semester :/
