Tim flys off the handle...

Today was perhaps the worst day I've had this semester to date. At 9am, exhausted and well and truly over University, I dragged myself to campus to collect a progress report I had submitted last week and to discuss it with my professor. When I arrived I was rudely bombarded with insults and criticism re: the report which lead to an all-out argument with my professor.

Basically she argued that the report was rubbish and didn't cover the basics of what she wanted, to which i retorted with the fact that she never gave me an outline, nor advised the class of ANY details to whats he expected and we were all left to our own devices. Naturally, with literally 12 other reports due in the past fortnight, this was not my best effort. But being already exhausted and over the highly unprofessional and lax 'teaching skill's of my professor I lost it and accused her of numerous, yet highly accurate, and plausible reasons as to why many other students had made formal complaints about her to the high chancellor of students.

Needless to say this didn't go down well, as apparently no-one else had had the balls to tell her what was going on behind her back and was obviously caught off-gaurd by my outburst. Basically the past 4 years she has been the least supportive, useful, or even remotely educated person we've all come across and knowing this was my final week I felt I should let her know...albeit the fact she still needs to mark my final project report worth over 60% of my final grade >.>

Hopefully my honest reaction will have inspired some respect from her, otherwise I think I may be in for a rude shock when the grades roll in. Either way I'm glad I stood up for myself and the faculty, as its my belief that Universities should be the pinnacle of education where the elite of scientific fields teach thier wisdom to yearning students...and not for slackers who ride in on the coat-tails of other wealthy professors.
