: Well, at least it's comforting to know that his CS 371 is complaining all about the same things as we are... From some upper division folks and grad students (TAs- networking baby), I heard that Dr. VW has the same reputation with his CS 371 students and he came to class saying "I don't want to teach this class".. It might be quite true that he has a load on his shoulders but so do we and we're not getting paid.. He certainly could've said no to his load as we could've dropped the class by the 4th day if he showed up in class on time... :)
: One suggestion we could make to him about grades is that he considers "all the people that have already dropped as the F and D students and let the rest of us who stayed in class pass!"
Hey, let's not forget the grading scheme that he drew on the board this morning--it looked suspiciously like he was giving us all the finger. I sure hope you're right--that the "D" and "E" (?) students are the ones who Q-drop. The remaining students are either very ballsy or are taking this course for the second time and don't what to end up having to be business majors.
