I slept like a rock last night and woke up refreshed but a little tired this morning. The main side effect to staying up all Monday night was I didn't have any kind of attention span and I couldn't concentrate on anything. Rather than reading on the bus to Stillwater today I just gazed out of the window blankly and let my mind wonder. It wondered right to my network "programming" class *cough* Telecomm *cough*
I admit I complained about the course content. I knew what the likely consequences of this action would be: 1. no change, 2. redirection of the class. The professor just doesn't get it. He gets that he wasn't covering what he was supposed to cover and redirected the class - but again in the wrong direction. Now he is focusing on the details of TCP/IP protocols instead of routing protocols that he was covering before; but this is still just a networking class. Damn, for God's sake read the class catalog before planning the contents of the class.
I like to think that I am flexible when it comes to this stuff, but there is this pesky thing called principle. When I pay for something, I want to get what was advertised not something close to it. When my classes are free - I'll let the professors teach whatever they want to - until that day I should get what is described in the course catalog. I know that it will be difficult to get my money back... but again with the principle, I'm not quitting because I don't like the class or because I can't hack it but simply because the class isn't what I payed for.
