First day of spring semester started today at PCC. Pretty standard as far as first days go. Logic seems interesting and highly practical, even if Prof. Ricards seemed a bit.. nervous? haha he seems like a nice fellow. However, I am very much NOT looking forward to my Poli-Sci class..
Prof. Williams seemed a bit unfocused in my opinion. Also a bit mean and impolite. While normally I admire directness and frankness, she lacked any clever base or explanation of her reasoning behind it. Then again, as I recall, I may have had the same impression of Prof. Schwyzer, who I've now come to admire greatly. But something about her just horribly put me off, actually effecting my mood for a short time.
Hopefully she was just attempting to 'scare some kids away' the first day. Weed out the weak, so to speak. Hopefully. Also she seemed antagonized by the common view that Poli-Sci is one of those classes students have to take.
Gah! and she actually says "mkaay." I THOUGHT TEACHERS ONLY DID THAT IN HELL AND SOUTH PARK!!
She described one of our texts, "Writing in Political Science," and it seemed to me like a useless endeavor. I'm in that class to learn Political Science. I've more than passed English.
I don't understand why teachers keep trying to regress and teach their failing students English in other subjects. It's college. If you can't communicate up to standards then you shouldn't be there. The only exception to this would of course be ESL students, but in my experience they usually have better writing skills than most America-born students. All praise to American education system. -_-
