has anyone ever felt like you basically dropped a class because of a bad professor? did they pretend they had no idea what your problems were?:confused: i recently told a professor that i needed extra help and she basically ignored me, gave me zeros and kept saying...didn't you read the instructions? i wish i could get a refund.:eek:

If your instructors aren't helpful, find resources on the web. Take responsibility for your own education. Learning isn't just something someone spoon feeds to you.

I've certainly had instructors that were not helpful. I never dropped a class. My school pays attention to Ws in their selection process so I did not want any on my transcript. I found outher resources to help me. You can find so much help online these days. Find another student and ask them for help. Go to the tutoring lab. Buy a for dummies book, I'm serious. I sure did with a class I was having trouble with. I did whatever it took.

I dropped A&P because of the Professor. It's a difficult subject, and I needed someone to "teach" me rather than me getting the info myself. I have an excellent instructor now and am learning the material the way I need to.

My opinion is, you are paying them to teach you and guide you and answer your questions. If they don't do it, they are not fulfilling their part of the contract. RE: the W/ on the grade, don't know what to tell you. Our school's transcript doesn't show withdrawn classes unless it was past a certain date.

A lot of nursing school is teaching yourself what you believe you need to know to be successful. Sorry this has happened but try to find resources that will help you instead of a teacher that won't. Good luck with future classes.

OOOh, I hope it felt good to post that...I actually know that, I have a bachelor's degree.

Maybe I should have been more clear, it's not the work itself, it's her instructions, no examples, samples nothing, and it's an online class.
