Course evaluations are a f*cking joke

Let me tell you a story. This literally happened in my Business Associations class.

"The statutory supplement is the only thing you're allowed to use on the exam because the statutory supplement is the only thing you'll need."

Asks accounting question worth 1/6th of the entire exam.
Did the statutory supplement include anything on accounting? Am I going to law school because I'm good at math? Hell f*cking no.

You cannot properly evaluate a class until you see what complete and utter bullshit the professor puts on an exam.

And that is why course evaluations are a joke. Because they're due before the exam.

"Oh," you say, "the little brats who think they did poorly on the exam will give the professor a bad mark." Hey guess what, genius, that's the f*cking point. Most of us are taking out crippling loans on top of our crippling loans to pay for bullshit like a bad mark because the professor outright lied about what was going to be on the exam. We're not frat boy slackers here. None of us have football scholarships. We're here so that three years hence we can be stormtroopers for The Man and drive around in expensive convertibles.

So, what's my opinion of course evaluations due before exams?


Welp, there's supposed to be a GIF of Johanna Mason from Catching Fire (you know precisely which scene) here, but the internet seems to have eaten it.

Oh well.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
