So freaking true.
Oh so very true.
Oh, cry about it. If college was easy, everyone would be able to do it.
(sorry, college instructor here sick of students bitching about the timing of the assignments. it’s called TIME MANAGEMENT 101)
I’m in college right now and I will agree that, in general, the bitching is unfounded. However, I have seen it be the case that a pair of 30-50 hour projects are assigned simultaneously with 10-14 day deadlines, without any change in the weekly homework schedule for that class.
But that’s Computer Science for you, they’re preparing us for the stuff that gets thrown on industry programmers.
The problem is every professor/teacher thinks their class is the center of your life. I dealt with it, came out and all that, but I still see the validity of a complaint that they all think their students have time to do national debt sized projects. I had 3 jobs while taking college classes and wrestling (I was in high school but going to college) and I managed to pull it off, though my health suffered from lack of sleep/proper amounts of food…
Seconded.
Must be nice to not have to work and go to school. I’m 19 and I work two jobs to afford my bills and go to school. If you are a college instructor, you have really proven how non caring most teachers have become, and how they just want to get paid. Maybe you should take a second look at what you’re doing. Also, since when isn’t college for everyone? How encouraging….
That’s an understandable perspective for some, however, from the standpoint of one having 24 hours each day, having to eat sleep and pay the rent, and teachers being only focused on their course, sometimes “TIME MANAGEMENT 101″, though comically condescending as it is, doesn’t quite cut it. It’s funny, I suppose the students’ education as a whole at any given time is no longer a concern to most individual professors, and students make the mistake of thinking that universities are about the students.
Man, it’s just never your fault is it? time management, retard.
I just want to continue the god/no god debate.

The incident in the biggest slice can happen along with the incidents which are in the smaller slices, at the same time.

In other words, this can be interpreted on a venn diagram and the smaller slices will be subsets in the bigger slice.
Or, stop making unfunny graphs and plan your time better.
It’s called a “syllabus.” You may want to look at it the first week of the semester.
Unless the projects weren’t on the syllabus. It’s really common in art classes for the teachers to all assign big projects they just came up with the previous night.
I’ll concede that liberal arts profs are less organized on the deadlines for the big projects than those in the maths and sciences!
I won’t.
You must never have had one, then. Or your school is some kind of organizational Nazi school.
I have three degrees, and am an academic advisor/instructor for an
extremely rigorous degree program in the sciences, so I’m pretty good
at ascertaining professor organizational ability. Besides, I check rateyourprofessor.com and an instructor’s evaluation average before I advise students.
Profs at my school have been successfully sued for widely deviating from
the content of their syllabi. If your profs’ expectations are so vastly divergent from what’s laid out within it, you need to contact the chair of the department in question. Syllabi are essentially contracts, and can be seen as such for student expectation purposes.
Ack. Sorry for the spacing … my Firefox is freaking out.
Precisely. You’re an academic advisor in sciences. Not art. Art teachers rarely have precise, laid out syllabi with all their projects. There is always a clause in the schedule that says that it is tentative and subject to change. They almost always change it. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
Umm … that’s what I said, SKW! I was being serious …
I’ll concede that liberal arts profs are less organized on the deadlines for the big projects than those in the maths and sciences!
Sorry, I thought I was talking to Tobias. My apologies, my response was with the assumption that you were flaunting your education while ignoring my input. Paying attention fail on my part.
Liberal arts refers to a type of education, not specific branches like arts or sciences.
The state colleges where I reside have Colleges of Liberal Arts (and Colleges of Sciences) that are inclusive of the profs to whom I was referring.
That’s why I make sure to add a lot of good reviews to my own ‘RateMyProfessor’ page….
Heh. Good one.
Um, let me poke my head in here.
No.
That’s about all.
As an English teacher, I know that I wouldn’t want an assignment to be, well, assigned if it wasn’t on the syllabus, because that would mean my whole grading schedule would be thrown off.
Ever tried to grade 80 portfolios from freshmen in college in the span of a few days?
Nope. And I don’t envy you that!
Yeah it’s great when three art teachers assign final projects that weren’t in the syllabus and your two education teachers assign structured due date projects at the same time. Man people need to talk to each other.
They do talk to each other… they plan it, to stress you out, and hopefully kill you with a work overdose, less students, less stress for them
So. true. it’s. not even. funny. lol.
FFS. What’s wrong with people? Why do people just come on here to comment on A HUMOUR board – and let’s face it, that’s all it is, and if there’s something you don’t like or appreciate, THE INTERNET ISN’T RUNNING OUT OF SPACE SO IT DOESN’T MATTER – and all they do is post venom. It’s just stupid, if you ask me. More stupid than you claim this graph to be.
That comment was stupid.
Your stupid.
No, but seriously, it’s what the comments are for: commenting on the graph. Which for a sucky one like this, is merely complaining
Read: “You’re”
But there’s no real need for them to be so…well…horrible!
You, sir, fail at being your namesake. Stay in character!
Oh, stop complaining. Maybe if you didn’t spend time doing these graphics, you’d finish your projects.
win
So true.
Story of my life.
I’m a college professor. In the arts, in fact.
I don’t put all of my assignments and due dates in the syllabus.
I can’t even imagine having my courses be so rigidly outlined, and not leaving myself and my students the flexibility to tailor their educational experience to the individual class.
That said, my only real problem with this graph is….
Is the person who made the graph really blaming her prof for assigning things EARLY, so that she has the time to work on it as she pleases? It’s her professors’ fault that she can’t remember to do her homework?
oh you are all silly just do the work, yes it sucks, yes its hard and most of time its ridiculous, but if you put it off just do the one you care about the most, for reasons of grades, or major requirement class, or just because you like it more, then bs the rest. you may get a bad grade on the other two but in the future I doubt you’ll say, “damn, I really wish I would have done better on that paper on the Ramayana”.

or when my winter vacation starts T_T
