blah

Eh, my weekend was all right, enough said. Now to discuss what we have been doing in class. I get it, I understand...academic inquiry. Now, lay off with the examples, I don't care. Continuously showing examples in class to people that understand isn't going to do anything and for the ones that have questions about it, well I guess its going to be the same damn thing...its not going to do anything for them either. Instead of burning time with pointless talk I believe those who still have question should have one-on-one time with the professor so that they can have a hands on talk to better understand what we are to accomplish by the end of this semester. Some people aren't visual learners, they need to be talked to and by having examples the preferred method of education professors are discriminating against those whom learn by other means. So in short, stop fucking showing me other people's profiles, I understand so let me use that hour to advance my paper instead of dreading to work on it...and while I'm doing that...the professor can use that hour to individually talk with students who don't quite understand academic inquiry or have questions about the topic.

By the way, stop fucking telling us that we don't understand...if we don't understand now and you continue to run class the way that you have been then I doubt we will ever understand. Quit informing us that we "don't understand" what it is yet. Do you want us to believe that we will not understand all the way until the last class of the semester in which then and only then we will all gain the enlightenment and magically master academic inquiry? Don't be ignorant, most of us get what it is perfectly fine, for those that don't start to actually help them instead of throwing portfolios at them and pray to Jesus that they figure it out on their own. That means you have to stop saying, "We'll, that's what you have to figure out." or telling us to "google it."

With saying that, if a student asks you a question, fucking do something about it and do NOT refer them elsewhere. Otherwise, what are you honestly doing besides being a broken toilet with an "out of order" sign on the stall. I was hoping to find comfort only to be referred to another source. That equals fail. Fail means start doing something about it and answer the question that the student asks you.
