Sour Swinger Predominantly follows my Army & Iraq Deployment. Also has some Geek, School, and other talk.

So apparently my stupid professor who raves about Perl has ended his talks of it and has switched to PHP. This, of course, was expected. The class is Web Applications and will cover a lot of different languages. However, I don’t understand why 2 months of presentations on Perl only yielded 1 programming assignment? A programming assignment that didn’t touch half the things we learned. Learned is not right…how about read from a power point presentation. Several students, me included, have complained through the proper channels about how horrible this professor is. I’d love to vent all the idiotic things he’s done but its not worth my time. Suffice to say, nothing will happen because he’s been hired for research. Teaching is just a secondary thing. Its a shame, but far too many professors are simply hired for research and not for actually being able to teach.
