#nevermind that we dont know sentence structure and can barely understand basic conventions of speech

[silverislander]

my old english class sucks so bad that its fucking demoralizing. so i go to every class and sit there bored out of my mind, i dont learn shit from the prof bc hes awful at explaining anything, i dont understand enough to do his stupid fucking homework, im completely unmotivated to do the readings or homework so i NEVER get the chance to learn. i cant win w this guy

#we have a translation due for thursday #nevermind that we Just learned verbs and none of us understand them at all #nevermind that we literally know less than 10 words total and its almost 200 words long or that we werent given dictionaries #nevermind that we dont know sentence structure and can barely understand basic conventions of speech #ive never been so disappointed and lost in a language course and i almost failed italian in my second year. via ZOOM. mid pandemic #levi.txt #the weirdest part is that my grade for this course. is good. im in the 80s i think im out of the danger zone entirely by this point #but thats bc 1. i studied REALLY hard at the start 2. all the big assessments are take home 3. one of them is literally just an essay #and im great at essays #so like. no matter how hard we struggle or how much this guy sucks at teaching i dont think theres going to be any recognition or change #dont get me wrong im not mad that im not failing. but i wish the dept could tell how little were getting out of this class you know?? #and the other thing is. he keeps forgetting and changing the actual required things #like not bringing us our graded quizzes to review before tests or cancelling classes last minute #but if you ask him for EXTRA help hes actually so helpful and nice abt it #i asked for a way to practice oe pronouns and he gave me like. 5 different resources #but hes missed 6 classes and literally lost his grading sheet + lost all of our grades for quiz 3 as a result #its completely bizarre
