This
woman is unbearable. She would give out the fucking worst quizzes, and
taught us the most unimportant aspects of literature. For example, on
my midterm that year, there was a big section to devoted to naming the
authors of every short story we read. Yes, not even novel's authors;
these were authors of short stories that had been compiled with many
other authors. There were about 20-30 questions, and they weren't
multiple choice. We were simply given the title of the story, and
expected to write down the author's full name. Half credit if you only
remembered the last name.
On a separate quiz, she decided that
"whatever answer the class decides is right, will be the right answer".
Well, the class had indecision over one question. The book we were
reading was about the holocaust, and how a lot of families got broken
up. The question was true/false "This part of the book emphasizes
strong family values". Well, the main character and his father stayed
together, so on that side, it was true. However, another character and
his family had abandoned eachother in favor of every-man-for-himself,
which made the question false. The teacher proceeds to shit over
everyone who answered "false" and say that the answer is "true". Too
bad, your opinion actually doesn't matter. We go through a few more
questions and the class decides on an answer. She goes, hmm, I don't
think that's right, and says we're all wrong. If you're going to let us
pick the answers, let us; otherwise, just do a normal fucking quiz like
every other teacher. |
