Stupid, Stupid Psychology Homework
So I’m in this class, some Psych course. The homework is being assigned by a retard. This same retard who says “The homework will take an hour to an hour and a half.” So, please tell me, why in the fuck did it take me about 6 hours last week to finish the one fucking week’s worth of homework?
And then we get to this week. The shit hits the fan. I quote my 1st year Sociology prof: “It was a big load and a big fan.”
Hour and a half? Yeah fucking right. Learn to count jack-off. 8 experiments, 30 minutes each, minimum. Does this look like an hour and a fucking half to you? Let’s not even mention the amount of reading that makes the god friggin’ Bible look thin. (I’m aware of the irony there, but I don’t really give a shit right now…)
So I start the homework for this week. Read, read, read…finish the textbook reading. Strain my eyes to read some dumb-ass piece of academic writing. I’ll leave that rant to Hanzaemon. He was pissed off enough while writing that one.
I get to the experiments finally after about 3 hours. (Once again, hour and a half? Whatever the fuck you’re smoking…please, keep it away from me. I’d rather not end up with your crap-tacular ability to count.)
So, apparently last year, doing these experiments was worth a shit. This year however, more experiments, more hours, no marks. Just the promise of questions about the experiments coming on the exam. Problem is, you can’t get the synopsis with the information about the experiment unless you finish it. Well thank-you very fucking much again. Just managed to dick us up the ass in yet another way. So 300 trials later, when I got the point after the first 10, I finally get the information I seek.
There’s another problem though. The prof’s entire course is based off of the textbook. All of the “recommended” experiments at the end of the chapter, mistake in the name and all, were on the course syllabus. This also includes all of the ones that are completely irrelevant to the chapter. So obviously, the prof didn’t check the experiments, and the author who suggested them…well, he can fuck himself for all I care.
The lectures…by god the boring-as-hell lectures. They’re obviously not the profs, as he’s red-green colour blind (can’t distinguish between red and green, they tend to see those as a dark beige), yet all of the examples which require colour are done in…take a wild fucking guess…red and green! Genius, when every lecture he has to ask us “That’s the red one, right?”
By the way, 10 experiments next week, 8 the week after. Once again, so much for your dipshit idea of “hour and a half” of homework each week.
So yeah, while I was still pissed, I thought I would write this.
Hope you enjoyed the rant.
