Professor Loser (2008)

12/7/08

I have my finance exam tomorrow. I am not doing that great in that class because my professor is a weirdo who doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time and, on top of that, breathes sleeping gas during lectures.

Listening to quomi taraana on loop is more interesting than that. I've seen a bug dying on my windowsill that was more fascinating. Staring at the tubelight until I start seeing blue and red spots succeeds in getting more attention from me than his class.

A good professor can make all the difference. Finance is not that bad. I've thoroughly enjoyed a couple of finance courses just because the professors made it so. But this one seems to have taken an oath to turn me off from the subject for life.

He is a perfect specimen of the image of 'Professor' everyone has in mind, the only thing different being that he is much younger. In his early 30's. Other than that, he is a typical absent-minded, haphazard, forgetful, confused and all other synonyms kinda guy. About 90% of the time, the solutions of our assignments he goes over in class are wrong. Then he admits to them, moves the PPT to the next slide and tells us to 'forget about it' and that he'll post the correct solutions on his course page later.

And the worst part: he mumbles. Yup, a professor that mumbles his lectures so no one understands what he is talking about. If attendance wasn't such a big chunk of our final grade, I doubt anyone would attend his classes since students ultimately turn to the textbook to figure out what he was yappin' about in class. Our tuition money should be sent to the authors of the textbook instead of Professor Mumble-Jumble.

Oh well. This is the last time I'll be seeing him anyway. I just hope I pass the damned thing. How pathetic would that be, failing a class in the very last semester? And all because my dear old 60 grant a year private business school decided to dump a mumbling idiot on our laps as a going away present.

Guess I should stop bitching now and open up my textbook.
