I got my COBOL test back today - 65, not bad considering I didn't remember I had it until it was too late to study, planned on getting up early and looking at it before the test... and slept halfway through the period. I got in just in time to take it really quickly... and got what I got. I certainly earned the 65... just made me sad. He's insulting. Early on I tried really hard, attempted to answer his questions, but a few wrong answers, some humiliation in front of the class... and his not letting it go resulted in me losing ambition for class participation.
I also attempted to ask him a question after last class regarding assignment 2 -- he said I was sitting on my butt.
I never asked him my question.
I just want to tell him to go to hell.
He's a nice old man, but he rambles... then cuts down anyone who can't ramble off square roots, tricks to figuring out long division, or other theories. I'm not a math person, he's a math teacher, and anyone who doesn't do math boom boom boom is an idiot.
I understand math, I work with formulas, I plug and press compute. I understand how it gets there, I just can't do the footwork when I know there's something that will do it far easier -- for me. I've always had that problem.
