Hee Hee Hee .....

I rather enjoyed this comment that I wrote for my calculus class. While I like Calc., I did not like the book or the teacher very much, as the following comment shows that I submitted in my student evaluation:

" I felt like this was a "high school" class because the students were fresh out of H.S. and they would act that way, causing Dr.***** to respond in a "High School" manner, meaning some days he would act 'immature-ish' which would distract from the teaching. He is a really smart teacher and, for the most part, he knows what he is doing, but there were numerious times when class would not function well.
In addition, the Calculus book is not a good calculus book. Excluding the fact that there are many wrong answers and typos and such, but it was just not written very well. Numerous concepts were vague in their explainations, the pictures were not detailed in their labels which made them hard to understand, and a lot of the problems in the book were also hard to understand because they were not written very well. In short, this was not an effective calculus book. I've not heard anything good spoken of about this book other than the fact that it was cheaper in price relative to other calculus books and that the cover picture was nice. I sincerly hope that this book is not used next semester because those students do not need to go through the same stress and headache over trying to figureing out this book that alot of students this semester have. I used one of my older Calc. books rather than use the required calc. book in learning. Please get rid of this P.O.S calc. book because it would be in the best interest of the students rather than in the financial interest of the persons who wrote it."

I figured that if all I said was "My Calculus book was possessed with an evil demon that caused much anguish of soul and confusion of mind", I don't think my comment would have been taken very seriously. This was probably the most I've responded to student evaluations ever.

I blasted the Physics exams as well, but I didn't save that comment. D'oh !!!!!

This has week has been what I expected it to be: Hell Week!! two tests, two java projects, and regular homework are pileing up. So today, I said, "to hell with it" and took the day off. It was very much needed. I recommend it for everyone, once in a while. It started out with a visit to the "Upside down thumbtack" by the mountain. Then chatting for about 2 to 3 hours with the brother about the physics of casting a fireball spell and also trying to explain the physical aspects of creating "X-men" type humans on a molecular level. It made for one hell-of-a comic book geek conversation.
Later in the evening, I gave Kat the beating of her life...twice. (gloating)HA HA HA!!!!! (/gloating)
I think the only appropriate way to close this Hell week (when everything is done hopefully) is to watch the new movie Hell Boy (crying)Hotter, I need you on this one! Where are you ?!?(/crying).
And it's Easter weekend. Time to eat as much pastel peanut M&Ms as possible. But the best is getting pastel peanut M&Ms AFTER Easter, because then, they are all discounted.
But before this time of discounted candy and movies, much hell to pay.
