Hello double standards

After the class I took last semester,I didn't think that I would ever find a more unorganized or careless or uninterested instructor. Then I signed up for this online creative writing class at school. All I can say is &%(*)#&%*#(@&%#@*(...

She has these deadlines where we HAVE to turn work into the dropbox by 11:59 pm or it will be considered late and we will be docked points. There are 3 days that things are due each week...usually  Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. So I didn't know that I was also signing up for a weekend class on top of this??? Well, about 4 weeks ago her (the instructor) ceiling had water damage or something, and it caved in. I feel like she totally used that to her advantage. She is hardly in on the class discussions because she said that she is using all of this time to read or other work and give us feedback on them. Well...I have 2...here me?? 2 papers that I have been waiting WEEKS on for this damn feedback. I am so over her ceiling- get over it and do your dang job now. She already said that it is fixed- so what now?? Why is she not giving feedback OR leading (or even sort of participating in) discussions? Every time I have to submit something, I get so mad. I want to go on strike...or really, I want to go to the offices and get my damn money back and drop the class with NO penalty to my GPA or anything. I have learned NOTHING because she is not there. The assignments are just not doing it for me. AND I have no idea of my grade and it's almost mid-terms. She has only given feedback on ONE weeny little thing I wrote so far. Grrrr... This is a waste of my time because she is horrible as a teacher. Fine- yep...she has been published, am I supposed to drop at her feet and let her ignore the class and be OK with that? She even pulled the "Let me ask my writer friends what they think" when a guy challenged her on a comment she left on his paper about a word he used at the "wrong" time. Ohhhhh you WRITER friends....yeah- I forgot. You are SOOOO much better, let's all be intimidated by you and your flippin' writer friends.
Ugh...I am so done. I thought I would love this class, but thanks to her, I HATE it. I dread having to do the assignments and I hate the time I have to spend away from my family when I feel like it is for nothing because she pretty much sucks as a teacher.
Ok...I am done bitching. Now I have to go finish an assignment so I can never get graded on it.

    Hahahaa! :) I was gonna say twit.. But twat just kept on popping up in my head for some reason :) I think you really should  ask for your $$ back!! That ho bag didn't earn her money!! Nobody is ever going to know how shitty she is until she get's some complaints. She probably already has a whole shitload, maybe all they want is a few more to kick her ass to the curb :)
