There goes Sinclair media group, right?
I can't get by the sound of his voice, it's irritating
My problem was 3-part: the previously mentioned terrible teachers, peer pressure (Everyone hated math), and my own mental block to it after being poisoned against it by so many people
Turn out, people like money
This could be fun. Let's get a pool going, predict what his first fuck up is going to be
Makes sense, Trump is only ever living in the past and loves holding petty grudges
Biden was well aware of that as well. Good thing he pardoned Fauci
Good 'ol predictable Donnie
It's great when a professor can be inspirational
I had to learn math out of desperation. Unbeknownst to me because I had terrible math teachers, I had a natural talent for math.
It wasn't until I joined the military after high school that the military discovered my math abilities on the ASVAB and put me in a job that required a lot of math.
Every class for my job had an intense amount of math that gained significant difficulty with each passing grade. It was either pass the class or get reclassed to a guaranteed terrible job not of your choosing.
Grinding out math became my only focus for 10-12 hours a day out of fear of severe penalty
Made me wish I had decent math teachers back in school, I felt like I was operating with a handicap
My favorite professors are the ones that can take an hour long lecture and make it feel like 5 minutes, leaving the students feeling sad that it's over while they look forward to the next one
Feels like deja vu
I swear we've been here before
This shit actually happened to me.
I had a professor who bragged about having a low pass rate for his courses.
I filed a complaint against this professor who was creating a toxic learning environment by assuming every student was cheating and taking extreme measures on every exam to counter it. The material was itself already difficult enough without making it more difficult unnecessarily.
People weren't washing out just because the material was hard, they were washing out because the material was hard and there was a professor looking over your shoulder randomly during the exams.
During classes the forced participation caused anxiety even for a military veteran like myself. Not only were your answers were evaluated in front of the entire class, the professor assessed your character as a human being as well.
The homework given in class ultimately had 2 grades: As a homework grade and as a Study Guide grade. The homework went into a 3 ring binder that also contained incomplete study material that we had to fill out ourself as well as notes from class. In theory this is a great learning tool, in practice it's pure hell and source of incredible anxiety as the massive 3 ring binder that ended up being evaluated as a major part of your grade at the end of the semester caused fear and anxiety to care for and maintain for the 3 months of the class.
I made it through their class, but most did not. They were plenty bright, but they just couldn't handle his abrasive and anxiety inducing teaching methods. After anonymously filing the complaint the administration decided to force the professor into retirement.
I was in my 2nd semester during lab performing an experiment when this professor snuck up behind me and told me he was retiring this semester in an angry and accusatory tone.
I just froze in place for a moment, nearly dropping my lab equipment. Then I just set it down and turned to him and congratulated him for "being in the home stretch"
He just smiled and said "Almost there" and walked away...
As soon as he left I almost fainted, fuck that was close.
Everything a president does is legal, right Donny?
We're all looking forward to whatever he plans on doing to send himself back to prison, hopefully in a blue state where Trump can't pardon him.
Putin can say and do pretty much anything he wants
This maneuver allows him to pull troops off of the eastern front to take back Kursk then send troops back to the eastern front under the guise that Ukraine has opened a new offensive on the eastern front and isn't just performing a counteroffensive due to the lack of resistance from troops being moved to the Kursk front
May even give Putin room to call for another mass mobilization
I'm really liking Lemmy so far, it definitely has the raw vibe of old reddit that I've missed for so long
