Rants!

[Mez]

So there always happens to be a time when we're beyond angry at something. For some of us, that time occurs more frequently than others. If thats the case, well fear not, now you can release it by typing it up here, for the rest of us to read . I guess maybe this can be seen as an extension of the pet peeves thread, but this is more in detail, and more concentrated on specific occurrences.

Anyhow, post your rants!

I guess I'll start.
So the amount of work (essays, assignments) along with tests and midterms I have had this week is probably like 10 times than my first three years put together. I have like 3 midterms, 2 big essays, 2 labs, 1 quiz, and 3 other assignments due... ALL this week. Now its okay when you know ahead of time what is due when you get the course outlines at the beginning of the year and stuff so you can polish up your time management skills and avoid slacking, but the profs that don't write any of that stuff in detail in the course outline, but instead they throw deadlines at you out of thin air, and ones like when they announce on Monday that you're getting your first essay topics worth 15%, due this past friday (so i only got 4 days). Who does that?? Do they not remember how it was like to be students, like seriously they show no sympathy whatsoever...and also they're not open to the idea of extending dates because "they're the prof, and they're the ones with the phd, and therefore they're the ones that are right"...then when the class actually does ask collectively for an extension theyre all like umm no we cant do that, we're already so behind the schedule...whose fault is that??
