Re: Micro teacher from Hell
Am confused by the "brand new material" part. Does the material fall into the chapter that you are being tested over, only it was not covered specifically in class? Or is the material for future chapters you haven't even started yet. If it is in your current chapter but just was not discussed in detail, then I would say you would be responsible for the material, unless your instructor specifically said, "You will not be tested over this". I find that self teaching myself ALL of the material in a chapter (even stuff we are told to skip over) helps pull the info we are to know together and helps me learn the material better.
Also, instructors like to think, "if I told them this in class, they now know this" and then will test on the lesser covered material in class to see if you read and "filled in the blanks" of what was being taught. Or the test questions will be application of what was taught in class....not necessarily the material itself, but its application to various scientific scanarios.
I agree with the previous poster that said complaining has a lot of downside. I would either withdraw and take with another prof or state your frustrations in your course eval.
I feel your pain....micro is not an easy class, but it sounds like you are doing fairly well.
Best of luck!
