I am so angry right now it is ridiculous. I have a professor that is now requiring ( because he sucks at time management) that the students in my class that have yet to present their group projects will print copies of the presentation for each of the twenty or so other students in the class.
I go to a school that doesn't have unlimited printing. I would have to come out of pocket for 20 copies 39 pages each to provide to students who will NEVER read it! The content isn't going to be graded. The last day of class is Friday.
I objected to my professor in class and again in email this is the email I sent him:
Dr. ____
(my name deleted)here, writing to express my feelings on the requirement of having to print the presentation for the students. It is not the student at fault for not having the opportunity to present their chapters.
In my opinion it is economically irresponsible for any student to have to print a presentation that may be emailed to their fellow students. It is costly and moot because you are the only person who will actually view the material from the presentation.
It is the last week of school, and the class is not being held responsible for the information presented. I hope you may reconsider.
I and my partner are ready to perform on Friday, and this is by no means an attempt to avoid presenting. I have attached our presentation just for piece of mind and awareness that we are and will be well prepared to present our chapter on International Education on Friday.
Thank you

To which he responds, "You are entitled to your opinion" Now my partner in the group is freakin because she thinks he is going to grade us more harshly than the other groups.
This is so stupid. I want to scream, and I bet if you are reading this (yes you) you are thinking, "oh it's not that bad," well tell my intestines that so they will stop leaking....wow. just kidding.
So anyway, I feel better anonymously venting my frustrations.
