It’s been a while since I posted here, but I’ll start with what is on my mind right now…
Today I spent a long time in the programming lab working on this lame CSE project. Now, it.s not bad except that we have to do these projects in partners. So, this creates a problem when you have a partner who knows nothing and moves really slow. So, today we spent six and a half hours in the lab and accomplished less than I would have hoped. My biggest issue is that he needs to sit and think over every process for at least 10 to 15 minutes before we begin to program it. For some things, I could have completed the code in this time. It just begins to be frustrating after a while. Now, his excuse is that school is moving too fast and that this is his first quarter @ UW. Well, welcome to UW. It moves quickly and you need to be able to keep up with everything. I have a hard time doing this, but nevertheless I get it done day in and day out. I have to give him credit for trying his best, but I am just frustrated with the “I’m from community college and this is my first quarter” excuse. I have freshman in my FIG who are more prepared to be at a large university. It also doesn’t help that he can’t organize his time better. We end up only being able to meet two times a week to work on a project. This is really bad because we end up having to code for like 6 hours in a row. This is not only a tragic loss of my time, but it could be broken up more. Blah. It’s the weekend; shouldn’t I be relaxing and not doing work? Would that be too much to ask?
Now if you go to a CC this is in no way meaning to stereotype all CC students, It’s just that I have heard it too much this quarter from people in my major and in classes to drive me crazy.
