Final tomorrow in worst class....and am TOTALLY not prepared

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

I've been sitting here for 5 hours trying to figure out what the heck we've been going over all semester (to keep it simple, I have the worst teacher eVar!) in System Dynamics. I've been on wikipedia lookking up PID Controllers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller) and Bode plots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot). I haven't even started working the problems because theres about 300 pages of this mess that I can't make out. This is ridiculous. My grade right now is near a 40....and that's a friggin' C in this class. Crazy old man. Test is tomorrow @ 11:30. Me and about the rest of the class are all in the same boat. Noone knows how to work these d@mn problems!

/mother f***** sh1t f** danm ***** RANT!!!

thats what study groups and upper classmen are for. ask them for help, or start studying sooner

Upper classmen?....I'm probalby doing better than 3/4 of the class. A study group is near pointless. His test NEVER have anything relevant to anything he's gone over. Literally, it's like a test on how well you can teach yourself in one hour. I'm sure the final will be the same.

Even better, go to the dean of your specific school and complain. We actually did this for my business entrepreneurship class because the guy never taught us anything.

I wasted $130 on a book we never used. The class only met once a week, and since it was a 3 credit class it was supposed to be 2 1/2 hours long. The LONGEST class we had lasted about 45 minutes. Most of the classes never went past a half hour.

On top of that, when did actually have to do work such as small essays and such, we either never got them back or he graded them and left no comments on how to improve our grades. Absolutely NOBODY knew what their grade was in the class until we got our grade report at the end of the semester.

It was a joke right from the beginning, so we went to the dean and complained. I don't know if anything was done about it though since that was during my last semester of college.

I'm honestly not sure anything would happen. This guy's been there SO long I doubt anything could unseat him. He used to be the department head, but he apparently chose to do something else with his time and has since been working as a consultant and researcher for NASA. He's a great Heat & Mass teacher (I have them back to back), but for this class he sucks!

Ive been studying 6 hours a day for the last 4 days.

If I get a 90 or higher in my final tomorrow, my semester gpa should be a 3.0

Not bad considering the avg soph gpa is like 2.0 or 2.2 I believe.

But Im gonna wake up early and do some more tomorrow.
