I Can"t Stand It Anymore!!!!!

I am so depressed, the class is so hard and my teacher has been such a jerk.Two students left in the class, ridiculous! His pi$$ poor patice tests are full of obscure questions and there is no answer key to any of these. My buddy and I (the two ONLY ones left) are excellent students and he refuses to help us with the questions on his p...poor practice test. I am completely overwhelmed by the material and his lectures suck and he names every last thing differently than in the book....he is the WORST teacher anyone could end up with....alot of stuff he never told us about or where he got the info from....he also teaches A&P 2 and I swear you need to take A&P2 WITH HIM or you will not do well in A&P1. You need to have a Phd in Biochemistry also or you will be fishtailing in his course......I CAN"T STAND IT ANYMORE also he cannot tell us how many tests we have left before the final, he won't say!!!!! It drives me nuts!!!!! I am currently making an A witlh him BUT it is killing me and I am not kidding. When it's all said and done the department will get a letter from me, explaining my experience and asking them why this nutcase of a professor is teaching at their school.

During lab today he told us that a woman started screaming at him during a final.......Duhhh I can see why, I might do the same thing on Dec 6.....God help me through this, I am going nuts trying to study for the upcoming lecture test on Tues. With him you don't know where to begin to study he is so chaotic and is EVERYWHERE. It doesn't do good to read a chapter ahead of time since he "doesn't like the book" refers to everything differently and has his own resources and doesn't tell us where to get that information!!!!!!

I have never cried as much as in this class, I feel so hopeless and defeated. My family is also suffering from this, I have no time for anything.

Stpauligirl, I don't even know what to say. I wish I could make it better for you. ;(

I agree with the above poster that said two students left in the class should be a red flag. I wonder how often this occurs? :angryfire

December 6th probably seems like a lifetime away to you, but will be here soon enough. Study as hard as you can, and maintain that A! (THEN, get the hades out of there and take A&P 2 with a different instructor, different school, different state if you have to....) :uhoh3:

I also agree with HappyJaxRN about taping the lecture.

I wish you a speedy couple of weeks, and a EXTREMELY DESERVED "A"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll say more when I have gained my strength back......, I am studying my butt off for the lecture test on Tues.

Hang in there! :icon_hug:

Can you tape record his class and study directly from that? I did that in a class, granted it was a history class. I didn't crack the book. Just studied his lecture notes and made an "A" in the class. This class sounds like it really stinks.

I do tape his lectures which has saved my butt up to this point, hopefully I can hang on to my grade t'ill the end. I have taped other classes before and made A's, like history, government etc. I recommend this method to anyone. Thank you so much for your concern :)

You are paying for your education and have a right to some acceptable level of service. They should see you essentially as a "customer".

Exactly!! I'm not sure how the educational system got to the point where students are treated like dirt and we pay for it.

I can see myself gittin on my horse and ridin' all the way to OKLAHOMA, passing your house watering the horse just to git to A&P 2 :rotfl:

Oh, I definitely will take a different teacher for A&P 2.....can you believe that this guy teaches the majority of A&P classes????? Talked to another victim today from another section, 5 left in that class.....everyone says the same thing....he is crazy out there! I WILL hang in there! I am taping the lecture which is probably saving my butt to this point.

Couldn't do it without you all on this board, that's for sure.

My poor family will have to get turkey TV dinners on Thanksgiving because I am in this class :chuckle Can you believe that it took me by surprise today that the kids don't have school next week......completely forgot about that,OMG the kids don't have school next week and he makes us learn 16 extra nerves because we (my lone buddy and I) are transferring to UT!!!!!!! The muscle lab test is on Dec1.

I had a micro teacher that must be a brother to yours. When our class did his eval it was bad...we all commented on how horrible, rude, ect he was....guess what it did not mean squat! I have talked to many previous students who said they gave him horrible evals too. I don't know about your school, but obviously at mine they don't mean anything. He is still right there "teaching" (for lack of a better word) people are still failing his class like crazy.....and no one will do a darn thing! BTW he is the only micro teacher at my school.

I am taking micro this spring and signed up for a nice teacher, she is well liked by students. I am sure it's hard as hell also but a good teacher makes such a difference. I know that this teacher has tons of complaints and he even mentioned it to us that many people complain about him....makes you wonder about who runs that place!

UT? I wish I lived closer, I'd love to go to UT. I'm planning on getting my BSN from UTArlington. They may be the Mavericks, but I'll be a Longhorn in spirit. LOL!

(My oldest daughter is a Longhorn fanatic!)
