Rant, I don't care if you read or not, just venting.

Well, the local college in my town has dual credit classes with my high school. Of the dual credit courses, I am taking one that is online, and I hate it. The college claims to be one specializes in technology related fields, but if they are, they absolutely suck at it. We have computers at the school dedicated to the online class now, but for the first three months of school we didn't. so instead we had to go to the computer lab where we were constantly forced out by other classes that had reserved it in advance, which worked out really well for the students who don't have home computers. Logging in was another issue. They couldn't get login data for the students who decided to take the online classes, an overwhelming 14 people, for 3 weeks, and during this time they blamed students for not submitting their work.

Then we were told that  we would not need a book for the class because all of the notes would be on the site. Well, that fell through in a hurry. The notes were vague and the work detailed. When we told the course instructor about this, we were told to "Google the answers." I have no problems with that, unless you tell me to do that on a timed test. Then you're a fucking bitch. So, I made some calls to find out what book I need for the class, to no avail. Then I had to go down to the school, go to the book store, and have them make some calls to find out what book I need.

With all issues resolved, things started moving smoothly. Until these recent weeks when I can only imagine the thoughts in the instructor's head were "Lets change the due dates for the fuck of it, but lets not inform the little fucks who have been complaining." So, the instructions we receive say when things are due, but when you go to submit the work, it was actually due 5 days earlier.

And for the icing the cake, the instructor is very uninvolved with the class and rarely if ever decides to respond to questions and emails. Fucking bitch.

Ahh, I feel better.
