Dear Student,

To the annoying biology student that showed up at my review session,

I am very sorry you are in my class. I am sorry the professor expects you to memorize things, gives you interesting pieces of information that are not on the test and additional articles for your enlightenment. I am sorry no one can summerize what you need to know into one convenient paragraph. I know that the college of Arts and Sciences has clusters and that you are expected to fulfill these requirements. You don't really want to be in my class, but they didn't give you a choice. Poor thing. Next time, we'll try harder to dumb things down, or make sure the class choices are personalized, just for you.

Repentantly yours,
The TA.


That girl really, really pissed me off. As an engineer, I've spent four years taking difficult required classes, and I rarely got to choose between "clusters". This class is really not that bad, no homework, no quizzes, no required reading, no required attendance. Just three multiple choice/essay question exams and a short paper. I went out of my way to hold an additional help session, and this is the crap I get? An attitude because she doesn't like the professor's teaching style?

I won't be holding multiple help sessions in the future. Especially since the girl who asked for it didn't even bother to come. Crap like that just pisses me off.
