As my homework is working on being submitted, I decided it would be a great moment to share with you my top 5 frustrations of online homework:
1) UPLOADING always seems to take as least 20 minutes, if you are lucky.
2) Errors. Blackboard (Purdue's program of Moodle) likes to wait till you are uploading document 20/20 that has to get grouped together before it proudly announces 'error' forcing you to resend all your information, yet again.
3) the teacher doesn't grade it.
Let's face it, If I was the teacher, I wouldn't too.. I can't even seem to complete any of the last three sections every section in word processing, yet I still recieve 10/10. I have concluded my teacher does not care.
4) Since attendence in the classroom is not manditory, I submit my homework the night before and sleep in. It's true, online homework allows students to be lazy and skip class as much as they want.
5) pointless assignments. Because the teacher does not care, nor grade, every assignment feels completely pointless. What is the meaning of wasting my time doing hours upon hours of time-consuming work for it to be published and never viewed by the prof.
I conclude my random thoughts with this:
I can not wait to graduate. My brain is worn out from all this nonsense.
