My professors are disorganized!

Published

They list the wrong chapters to read on the Syllabus. They give us slides that have material that came from nowhere, and does not match any of the reading in the book. And then they give us slide presentations that mix up all the chapters together (as if they didn't bother to edit their PowerPoint files).

It appears that they are not taking the time to prepare for class. They gave us about 5 versions of the Syllabus (each listing different chapters to read).

I'm really sick of their disorganization. It's driving me crazy, and I am thinking about finding another nursing school to attend next semester. I can't take two years of this chaos.

Well, the level of disorganization in my school is getting ready to cost me my position in the nursing program.

In a school environment, I have to have structure and organization or I cannot function. In a work environment, I can take quite a bit of disorganization...just not while I'm in school.

I have no idea of what to study, of what to do, etc.

Yes I agree I hope that you are not from where I am. It would be nice to think my nursing school is not just a fluke. We are told we are special and I get we have to be super motivated and super Organized. My school starts with a censored. I was a 4.0 student and the organized teachers really helped that happen. In nursing school it is a fight too stay above failing in the exams. Keep up the fight we shall succeed, in what I am not sure I hope, no I pray it is nursing school.

Because of all of this, part of me is seriously, seriously thinking about going into nursing education--if I can ever get my RN degree.

We have a couple of brilliant instructors, that put a lot of time and effort into making lectures organized where you can follow what is going on, and there is absolutely no question of what you have to study for on an exam.

This year? We are clueless, and the overall grades reflect it...and that is my only issue. Some that we have this year if they are getting paid a $1 it's overpayment.

well i think i figured out why my professor's presentations confuse me so much ....

she is using her slide shows from an old textbook that the school is no longer using. this really ticks me off, because she is making me learn 2 different versions of the same material, and doubling my work load. i wish she would just take the time to edit her PowerPoint files to reflect the new textbook!!!

I can relate.. My school was completely unorganized for some reason last year all the teachers up and left so practically the whole program was new teachers.. directors.. everything... and it was tough. The teachers were using old powerpoints and had differences in opinion about everything.. nothing was ever ready until the last minute.. ughh long story short i failed my second semester with a 77 (1 point.. heartbreaking) and I have to retake the course this coming January (the first time it was offered since last January) and I get on the school's website and start preparing for school again and I go to the faculty page and its all new faculty again!!! I only one of the freshmen teachers is still there and she is now a sophomore teacher. I just hope I'm not in for the same ride. ughh.
