[8:30]
Out on the floor lounge right now (funny how Molly’s first class today is earlier than mine yet I’m sitting here typing stuff and she’s still sleeping), am too lazy to get backpack and go down to the first floor since after doing another practice test and some other minor stuff I’ll probably schlep over to the chem. Study session because the TA, feeling bad for forgetting a session last time, promised an extra study session for us as well as some practice test, which the teacher refused to give us this time.
I’ve heard that this current chem professor used to be very nice and gave out easy exams but for some reason started making really hard exams this quarter (“used to”, as referring to the previous quarter). The harder exams I do not mind as much as the fact that the quality of his lecture, everyone agrees, have not improved a bit.
Dear professor, if you are going to give us “conceptual midterms” that quiz us on the first element that was purified by man that occurred round 14 BC or something (do not remember the time specifically, but was on the previous midterm and the answer was Au and the reason was because gold is such a nice, stable thing), then please also give out lectures that are as “conceptual” as your midterms are and do not tell us “I just want you to understand the main concepts behind these equations, everything else’s just explanation.”
That is, as the clock ticks on, my one grievance against the chem professor. At least he knows his materials, even if he is awful at explaining it.
