This guy humiliated me in front of the whole class again.
Our midterm was today and before hand he offered to review and answer any questions we might have. All of us went silent until one lady was like "I'm not too confident in this one" and she expressed her concerns about how all of our information is only auditory now, so knowing what to review before a test is really dodgy to keep track of. She was more posing it as a question of, did he even tell us what to review?
In other classes we usually are told what chapters are involved in a big test, or what pages to read over, or generally what to study and expect. This way we don't end up overstudying and doing terribly anyways. This guy didn't really do much of that, or if he did then neither of us could remember it since it was purely auditory. And he has a way of saying a lot but sounding like he's saying nothing at all, if that makes sense, so he loses everyone a lot. Our current textbook is.... extremely vague, to be honest, it doesn't even have everything in it that was on the midterm so we NEED that auditory information from him to be in a written form, too.
We all take notes but I'm finding that with this online class stuff, our instructors will make us talk and participate so much, that I honestly don't have time to write most of what is being said. When I do start to write, I wont hear the current information being spat out cause it's at the speed of conversation. There is no time given, and there is no material to study afterwords other than a grossly summarized textbook. I'm not even joking, one chapter is one page long in that thing.
So I chimed in to show that that lady isn't the only one at a loss. I expressed the difficulty with auditory learning, and every student chimed in agreement to that.
But my instructor immediately casts this big spotlight on me, and only me, and starts to drill me and my methods of note taking, how I organize my notebook, and how I need to decide whether I want to fail a class or have a better method of notebook organization. Just because I have more than one subject in my notebook doesn't mean I can't take notes appropriately??? I have ADHD, I'm bound to be chaotic in my methods, but I still managed to have straight A's and A+'s in EVERY CLASS until this online schooling started up. Now I'm all A's and one B. Oh, but I'm gonna fail if I can't organize a notebook lol bitch its the same notebook since my first class. What does this have anything to do with how shitty auditory learning is?
Even he recognized how aggressive he was being and he emailed me to say sorry after, but its beginning to be not okay anymore. The subject changes, but he's always doing this to me. And ONLY me. The recurring thing is "you're not trying hard enough" kind of idea but then he always reels it back in like wait I don't mean that!! ugh, just be nice, dude.
I keep thinking of recording these calls to go over the information. But I keep forgetting to :vanora_cry:
Still, a 4 hour recording of the same auditory information that I couldn't retain the first time sounds like hell
