Well that just about sums myself up over the past week er I should say the past 2 weeks.
I haven't been around timo much cuz of classes. Fall term has started and finally im back on campus and I never thought I'd see myself say this but I wish all my classes were online again. Why? This college im going to is a total joke.
First off the one engineering teacher I have has a Medical Doctor degree. He is a total disgrace to the engineering feild. He is a part time teacher there and apparently has "learned" all this stuff on his own, therefore the college has (teachers own words) "apparently found him useful". The other deaf student and msyelf decided to swap into the other class with the other teacher with a qualified engineers degree and knows what the hell he is talking about, and doesn't ramble on how to use a freaking screwdriver. (dead serious) I about died laughing class cuz he rambled on for about 15 minutes on how to use a screwdriver. This is the medical doctor teacher im referring too. Unfortunatly i couldn't get out of his lab class cuz the other teacher lab hours doesn't work for me with my kids but at least the lectures I don't have to watch an idiot. The doctor teacher was also shocked that i finished a 2 hour lab in 15 minutes. he was like you are done? I said yes im done. he goes how? So i explained the entire lab to him in quick 5 minutes and i decided to be the onery B***** that I can be and decided to ask him some really techincal questions to see how he answers. His mouth fell open and say, well ummm, we'll get to that later. Cripes I could teach that class better than him. To make matter worse, this is a repeat class cause the college wouldn't accept this credit and all this inof is like OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD news to me. So I will breeze through that fast enough.
Secondly, my advisor wanted me to take a lower level of math cauze i haven't taken any math for a couple of years. i said no way, i can catch up, all i have to do is schdule some tutoring appointments to get up to speed. I can do the work, i just need to jar this ole memory of mine to get working in the right order and not backwards. But.............the tutoring center is a major big time joke. the ratio of tutors to students is 2:13+. Very bad ratio, so I requested for indivual tutoring for like 1/2 to 1 hour few times a week. Should be no problem, But noooooooo im told they are under fincical burdens and had to cut back on tutors and now you just go there and sit at the table with your math course number listed and ask your peers for help. WTH??? i don't want to ask another student that is there for help as well. they will only screw me up. Sooo I don't know what to do. just swallow my pride and drop down a level of math just so i can get a refreser course or what? I need to decide fast.
my VB teacher is awseme tho.
He is good. Love how he uses live objects to decribe, objects, properties, classes and such. He is good.
I think will do well in his class.
my vb class my live captionier always shows up on time, she is always there ready to go before i even show up. however for my enginnering class is another matter, 3 times now no captionior and i had to leave class to go get an interpreter. Todayhappened again so left to go get an interpreter and no terps advailable. I told the other student if our captionier can not show up that they need to send in a back up terp to sign the class to us. Geezz. they are required to do that!!!! So ended up having to bail class today, no fun just sitting there watching his backside and only hear a drone of words and no understanding. (teachers have a nasty habit of talking wtih your back to you.) grrr. anyways...
now to top this off but not completely, my advisor is an total jerk. I do not get along with him at all and he has screwed up so many things of mine, not only that he doesn't respond timely to my emails. (timely i mean within 24 hours)
I never had these probelms at my old college in salem. The advisor is hearing whereas my old advisor in salem was full Deaf himself so he totally understood students. my current advisor doesn't understand us at all! ARggggggggggggggggg sometimes i just want to wring his neck!
oh ya and hte parking is for the pits. first week of classes was always late to class even tho i showed up on campus an hour early for class, it takes a minumum of 35 to 75 minutes to find a parking spot. no kidding, but no fear i found the trick, I need to arrive at least 10 minutes before 9am and then no problems parking, however that makes me 2 hours early for classes 3 days aweek and 4 hours early 2 days a week. which is fine cuz i can use that time to study.
Now im trying also to find a laptop to suit my needs cuz im rarely home to do my work. (forget the computer labs) they are too far squashed for my comfort.
I can't hande sitting smack dab next to someone on a computer where you only got about 12 - 14 inches of elbow room.
anyhow, Rant off......
sorry was so long, had to vent.
But in the same breath he will then teach you all about screwdrivers.
