holy hallelujah... or however it's spelled

ok, I've got 15 minutes to give you a dissertation on how frustrating it is to be taking a 300 level "Politics of the Canadian Constitution" class taught by a professor who is trained to teach illiterate adults. Yup, that's right kids, for a bargain price of $450, you can go to class for a little more than 3 months and hear (in the most condecending voice imaginable to man) everything you just read in your assigned readings with NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR INSIGHT from the same quality of educator that can be found in your local community centre for $20 per 6 week 'session.'
I might not be so furious if this class had not come on the heels of 2 classes (also at the 300 level) with one of the most brilliant individuals I've ever come across, who challenged and intrigued us all...

ooh, I've got to go print something. Happy October everyone!

At the risk of encouraging truancy...those are the classes you do the reading for, write the assignments, take the test & thank them for the A. Class attendence optional.

Yes, university is for challenging your views, beliefs. It should hone and develop critical and analytical skills. Those are great classes.
Logistically, one mickey mouse class will help you thrive (and survive) in the great classes.

Eye on the prize - 3 more months!

as always gr8dad, you make it obvious why you have the handle you do... you have provided me with the only perspective that will allow me to survive this class without the aid of copious amounts of drugs or alcohol... :) thanks!
