Psychology is really pissing me off.
First there is the professor that has a terrible note-taking habit of listing a bunch of idea on the board, talking about one then cutting to a new subject altogether halfway through the current one, then returning to the original one. So I'll have to guess how much content is left and leave enough space to add it later while I cover the segway that could be covered just as easily later. All this does is make me either not have enough space for some notes ahve have to consolidate a few sentences to the middle of nowhere or have huge empty swaths that are not large enough to fill with small notes.
Then when I ask perfectly valid questions, like how an Axon Terminal specifies which neurotransmitters are released, she goes into a rant on how the body already understands it all and we don't need to understand it ourselves to have it work. Just a five-minute little rant that basically just says she doesn't know. I understand if you studied under the psychological field and didn't get into the biology of it, but I don't appreciate the rant professor.
And finally we got our reaction papers back, leaving me with a score of 4/15. Upon asking about it I found out that the paper was about our own reaction to our own experiences with some information gained from an online assignment and not our reaction to the assignment itself. I cited directly to the syllabus where it stated the paper was on our reaction to the assignment and what we learned, not how we apply it to our own problems and whatever, and she just said to do it correctly next time.
And yet this is not what pissed me off the most. Oh, no, the students got to me the most. We were split into groups to do a group assignment(AGGGHHHHHHUURRRGGGG) and they spent the whole rest of the class wondering what they were supposed to do. The section we were supposed to work on was basically a summary of the Eye structure, Visual Cortex and some perceptual stuff I already knew from art class. I told them as such, basically said everything that could be said from the section to them, and they were still lost on what to do. For fucks sake, I don't even have the textbook due to financial aid dickery and I know more about the section from peeping at it in another students book during class and raging uncontrollably at all of you.
