The Great Debate

We had our policy presentation yesterday. Our group worked really hard to ensure our presentation was informative and entertaining. It aimed to please. And it did, but unfortunately it fostered too much conversation. Our 20 minute presentation stretched to 30 or 40 minutes. Questions were being fired at us left and right. It changed into a debate. I felt like we were being attacked. I don't think they got the point of the presentation. At one point I felt like says, "When you have actually spent time in the classroom, then come and talk to me." Eileen and I left class fully frazzled. And still as I recap the event, I feel a little heavy in the heart.

My A-

Now, normally I would just accept the grade I get in a class and move on. But this last class that I took...Geesh. How are you gonna hire a bad professor in the area of education. Let me first start off by telling you that this professor only graded about 20% of the stuff that went toward our grade. Then, our TA was an ICS major, no an education major. He graded our papers like we were all English majors! I don't know about you guys, but I was a Math and Science major, not much need to write persuasive essays with research. Finally, the final we took had to be the worst written final I have ever taken. This was especially evident considering we just took a class on Assessment (tests). OMG! But its over, and although I think that I should have received an A and not an A-, I don't have the energy to protest. I just thank god I got an A- and not a B.
