Dear Professor... ahem... Doctoc X,
It is less than enlightening for you to start every other sentence as a statement and then let it drift off after saying half a word in order to force the class to parrot things back at you. "Lets talk about the lobes of the brain now the Occc.... occip..... occipit..... occipitaaaaaal."
By now the class has got the hang of this and about half of them try their damnedest to guess what the hell you're sounding out.
"Occ...topus! Occip.... uuuuuuh? Oh! Occiiiiipiiiiitaaaa.....l! Occipital! Yeah! I so knew that!"
And the other half of us stubbornly sitting there with our lips CLAMPED tightly closed refusing to act like pathetic mimicking sheep baaaaaing tamely whatever you natter at us.
Unfortunately our silence has only goaded you on to further attempts at sheep choral directing. Now it's become practically every other word that you half say and then urge us to Baaaa back at you.
This is not Hooked On Phonics. I can pronounce occipital without your vocal encouragement. I would not have made it to A&P 2 without this knowledge. Please stop treating us like a bunch of illiterate 4 year-olds with a learning disability.
Make. A. Definitive. Statement.
If you learn to complete a sentence and stop treating us like verbal sheep I may cease hostilities and start participating. Until then, stop with the doe eyes when we glare maliciously at you after your attempts to get us to talk with you.
Additionally, please stop making us waste time on moronic side 'projects'. We are completely aware of what the lab practical is going to contain after the last semester (lab practicals are made up by the department and are the same style for A&P 1 and 2) and you are NOT EVEN ADDRESSING THEM! You are instead giving us wild goose chases through the text book that last two hours and ignoring the list of material we are going to be tested on. It's a fifteen week course condensed into five weeks!! We cannot afford to waste two hours on nonsense!
When the ten or so of us from the A&P1 summer session complain, don't give us some line of bull about how the test is going to be! We know! We've seen them set up!! You have never even taught this class before!
This is going to be a very long five weeks...
