Well, even though I've only had four profs so far, I know that one is absolutely horrible.
She taught my Honors Seminar course, and the course title was "there is no place like Nebraska" and we read books from Nebraska authors. Sounds somewhat interesting right? I thought it did too being from out of state. Semester starts and the break down of the grading scale is that 50% of the grade was class participation. I'm thinking "EASY A" b/c all my AP english classes were very heavily discussion based so this should be a piece of cake.
However, no one in that class talked!!! And the professor asked the most inane questions that didn't cause any discussion at all. We didn't have to do responses to all the books that were assigned so of course I didn't read them, and yet when we "discussed" those books I contributed more to the discussion than probably 2/3 of the class combined!!!
The class was such a waste of time, and I seriously thought that when I had read the books, my insights were so far above most of the class, especially those who had come from rural school districts (whose towns were smaller than my HS). I guess the 2 years of AP English really did make me a better writer and literary analyst!!!
Yet despite this, I bet that I don't get an A in course simply b/c I missed 5 days, 2 b/c I was sick and the other 3 b/c I was "sick" (read: hungover). My pledge brother (he hated it even more than I did) and I thankfully got to rip into her on evaluation.
ARRGH, just writing that made me mad!!!
