Judge not . . .
The end of the semester finally looming, all University of Akron professors have begun their cycle of evaluations. Today was the last I was asked to complete and the first negative evaluation I have written. Yes, even PMB received high marks as in the end I was forced to admit it was my distaste for philosophy and her accent that drove me to annoyance, both beyond control. On the other side of the scale, it was stupid of Chad to hand back the last exam and then hand out evaluations. Honest, but stupid.
It really was not a personal issue that made me shade "2" and "1" bubbles on Chad's evaluation, but rather it was his overwhelming apathy towards the subject he was instructing. Disinterest is contagious and I am highly susceptible to said disease. As he stood before the class every morning and read aloud the bullets on Child Development from the PowerPoint beside him, I swiftly lost interest. I know that it is as much my fault as his, but the fact that I will now have to work for a 'B' in the course serves as my evaluation. Sorry to say it Chad, but as a member of academia, you fail. This is a university, not a business, regardless of what the administration might have you believe. There is no call to be dry, detached, and devoid of passion. Here's a revolutionary suggestion: do not dictate, do not simply teach; profess.

I don't think you should have been so sparing with Mendoza. Sounds like she had you read crap philosophers and then couldn't even explain the significance of what you read (obvious if she couldn't speak English).
I did feel bad about blasting my non-English-speaking TA last semester, but for an professor in such an important subject, it sounds like "this woman ought not be teaching this course" is fully appropriate.
You'd like philosophy if the instructor did his or her job. Every student stuggles with the texts; the instructor is there to make the connections.
I don't mean PMB received a glowing review, just not such an angry one as Chad. She handed back a quiz right before hers that meant I didn't even have to show up for the next quiz as only 4/5 count and I have full credit on the first four. That sort of slanted my opinion :)
You know though, we've sort of come to an understanding towards the end. I emailed her about oversleeping a class a few weeks ago and her reply was only a step above freetranslations.com English. I considered responding in Spanish out of spite. She's trying very hard to be understandable and I think so much of my struggle to understand literally was the language barrier. I've had to work out a lot on my own and I've found that in the long and short, I just am not philosophically minded and therefor I've been uber-critical.
I don't doubt my personal Winstead could have changed my outlook, but my aptitude for the subject would have remained low. Reeves has me in love with physical anthropology, he's just an amazing prof, but I really don't have the ability for the subject to match the enthusiasm.
oh yeah...those damn mexicans are up to it again. http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050501/COLUMN0601/505010329/1064
It's against the rules to start a new blog and not update.
And such a promising start, too...

Nice Article.
I wish not acquiesce in on it. I think warm-hearted post. Particularly the appellation attracted me to read the sound story.
Nice dispatch and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you as your information.
I'm the kind of hombre who passions to try recent stuff. Presently I am making my personalized photovoltaic panels. I'm making it all by myself without the aid of my staff. I am utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I encountered a truly awesome site which explains how to create solar panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.
I am not really sure about how precise the information given there iz. If some experts over here who have xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be grand and I would really treasure it, cauze I really lav solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. You people are great.
