Science and Human Valiums

May 14, 2003 20:15

Today in my Science and Human Values course the teacher decide to celebrate my bad mood by having all 50 or so of us form a circle with the desks. Then we were intstructed to spend our hour and forty-five minutes by going around the circle, introducing not only ourselves but our thoughts on the course so far. Naturally there were no thoughts on ( Read more... )

Yes they need to learn that quiet students do not always mean shy students who are just dying for an opportunity to share their beliefs.

you mean using words with multiple syllables doesn't necessarily equal intelligence? pistolkitten May 17 2003, 03:40:19 UTC

sounds like it's the others students that irritate the shit out of you, as opposed to the class itself. i hate it when that happens, because it's not like talking to the professor will change anything. i mean, what are you supposed to say?

"um, yeah, i think this class would be far better if it wasn't full of pretentious fuckwits."

Professor: "yes, but how do you feel about the class itself?"

...by the way, i think that people ought to stop using the words "existential", "melodramatic", and "misogynist" to mean whatever they feel like they should mean at the time. these words have fucking SPECIFIC MEANINGS AND DEFINITIONS, people, they are NOT your personal accessories to accentuate your bookish 'bohemian' ensemble. snobbery, contrary to what is apparently popular belief, does not in fact make one talented.

heh. neither does swinging from another snob's balls, no matter how acrobatic that may be. nobody is impressed, and it's about time the fuckwits understood that.

man, i'm bitter. that's enough out of me. for now.

I really dont mind that its full of pretentious fuckwits, I mind that the teacher continually lets them pour their idiotic diarrhea-of-words from their mouths for the majority of class.

So yes, I -do- blame it on him. I think its the teachers #1 job to give the students a nice big cup of shut the fuck up.
