My main complaint is their constant ass kissing and excessive questioning drags the hour and 15 minute class out to an hour and a half every damn day, which always resulted in so stop dragging this out for all of us. I just want to get in, zone out for 75minutes, and get out.

.....me being late for the next class. Maybe you go to one class a day and can't hold it in until the period is over, but I have other sh|t I gotta do. And the professors...oh they just love it when some middle aged dumbass hangs on their every word, so they just eat this sh|t up. STFU, I'm never going to use MLA format after I get out of here and neither are you

I wonder why you went to classes in the first place?

Because the talk about their life experiences that are irrelevant to class materials is a waste of time.

LMFAO... Way to NOT answer the question. [OLD MAN] Damn kids... [/OLD MAN]

So you went to class because older people talking about life experience was a waste of time?

I finished my bachelors in IT in my 30's and I have to say the biggest butt kissers were the younger kids who had no clue or were lazy. They would try to suck up to the older people in class, who knew alot of the material already, to help carry them through the course. This of course applied to a few of the younger crowd not all of them as most of the younger people learned new material much faster than the older people and were very bright. I actually had one 19ish year old doofus on the first day of a new course sit down next to me and start bragging about how he and 3 other kids cheated on their last course and how it was a breeze to pass. I got up and sat as far away as possible from him.

The clueless ones (art majors taking the required computer course) that were willing to work hard I would help as much as possible. The lazy ones I would stay as far away as possible from.

So while you may see older people kissing the prof,s butts take a good look behind them and see the pimple faced slacker generation kissing his butt. It may be like looking in a mirror.

Who gives a sh!t. The people who whine about how everyone in the world is imperfect compared to them because they don't drive an ugly piece of feces on wheels and don't become friendly with their professor simply because it is not cool should all be locked in a cage and forced to watch Will and Grace for the rest of their lives.

Don't blame us for your underachieving sorry ass.

Yeah, I've had women bring their kids to class as well.

Yes, we know that you graduated high school and got married at 18 and now you're divorced and can't get a job. But that doesn't explain why the college class experience is like a drawn out orgasm for them. Its taking notes and spitting sh|t back onto a test paper, not "enhancing my intellectual experience" or whatever other horsesh|t the college's continued education marketing department squeezed out of their collective anus directly into your mouth. You'd think if this stuff was so damn enjoyable to them, they would have gone in the first place. God knows they didn't save any money by waiting.

So in conclusion, when the professor says "Any questions?" the answer always is <insert mass silence and obvious attempts to avoid eye contact>.

All I can say is someday when your balls drop you will understand thats how people who actually care about an education communicate with each other.

so maybe one day you will understand...but hey, your "drawn-out orgasm" line was kinda funny.

That's not right. They should be tossed right out of class.

i agree. i find it more annoying to be in class with a kid who doesn't give a crap, flakes out on groups projects, and thinks he/she is much too cool to be in class.

the adults who take things seriously make much better group project partners, from my experience.

In all honesty, her 6 year old was less annoying than that guy asking tons of retarded questions. The kid sat in the corner and was pretty quiet, and I wouldn't say contributed to the unnecessary extention of the class in any way.

haha i like them

Tell me about it.. I took a first aid course with adults... my brain almost exploded

Hmm... the young think they're smarter than the old (again).

That's not at all what I'm saying. They ask so many unnecessary questions during class, and the prof ends up having to rush through material at the end of the quarter. They are effectively wasting the other students' money when they could be going to the prof's office hours to ask questions. They also have the option of emailing the professor. To those that do, however, I am greatly appreciative.

Group projects are ass. I've never been in a group project where I wasn't either doing all the work myself, or doing almost none of it because some busy body wanted to control the whole thing. The worst is when you get some moron who has a bright idea and basically forces the whole apathetic group down his path, then doesn't do any of the work himself.

It'd be one thing if I got to pick my group, but its always selected by the professor so I would get dumped in with a bunch of dregs, or a couple of wingbats that wanted to do a european history project on poodles or something. Screw that, I didn't come into class to drag some dead weight around. I'll do plenty of that in my professional life.

Everyone likes to blab about education, but when was the last time you wrote a paper in MLA format after you got out of college? Knowledge is useless without application. I hear people say "I'm not going to college so I can get a job, I'm going so I can learn." You want to learn? Buy a book, its a lot cheaper and you'll probably get better results. The one thing I learned to do really well in college was write papers, and I hardly ever use that skill in the professional or even personal world now. That and how to endure a lot of bullsh|t.

Sure, I learned some in my field of study but I learned way more once I got out there and had to actually use it.

And my main gripe is why can't they just wait until after class to ask a question? Thats what I always did. *I'm* the one who didn't get something, so why should the whole class have to go over it again?

Agreed. When I was back in college I took a Predicate Cal-logics course and there was this guy who was older and thought he knew everything about the course, even when he was blatantly proven wrong. He got into arguments with the TA about logics problems all the time (the TA was always right by the way). One time he and the TA were "discussing" one problem for the whole time there was a class. It was hilarious. 3/4 of the class left 20 minutes into the class. The other 25% stayed and enjoyed the show. The TA kept on trying to drop the discussion, but the guy would not let it go. I cracked up the whole way through. Felt sorry for the TA though. He was a really nice guy, plus he was a freking genius. And the old guy was just an annoying blowhard who couldn't admit he was wrong. The type of guy who thinks since he has lived longer than most of the people, he must be better at it than them.

Ha! you made the point yourself. What people don't understand is that you have no control over the group that is picked by the prof, the same goes in the 'real world'. So the whole point about learning is just what you said!!!

Get used to it people, you have to get along with all sorts of people when you get out of college, better learn while you're there to do the same!!!

 

[Pocatello]

Old people are annoying in general, and they make funny noises.

 

[DAGTA]

I've been on both sides; the student and the teacher. I only taught for two years, but in that time I was able to classify student types.

This isn't PC....

Hands-down, the absolute worst is the single mother that has a chip on her shoulder and feel the world owes her. Everything is about her and how hard her life is and how no one helps her and how professors need to make special time for her... etc. This wasn't ALL single mothers; I knew some that were great students. But the ones that behaved like this just made me wish they would drop my course.

I could make a list of the types.. maybe I will later. Might be entertaining.

 

[AgentUnknown]

Damn, if i went back to undergrad in my mid 30's I would kick ass. Ace every class. You have to respect ppl that go back when they work full time.
