A waste of time and money

Through out this semester I have expressed my anger towards this class. A class that I signed up for thinking that I was going to learn how to make a website. Well I guess the jokes on me because that would mean the the "professor" (and I use those quotes lightly) would actually know how to teach us or the new programs that goes along with making a website. No instead he pushes all the website stuff onto or poor TA, that girl has to put up with all the stupid shit that the "Prof" doesn't want to deal with. It turns out all that shit that he doesn't want to deal with was shit relevant to making a website. Instead of teaching website building techniques he decides to make a commercial. A fucking commercial with all the students doing some different aspect. I know you thinking to yourself, well that makes sense, and it does but remember it s a web design class and because his actual pruduction class got canceled (yeah that says a lot) he thought it would be a good idea to through all of that class into ours. So I ask this question does it make sense to make a web design class into a production class with over half of the students in it are web design majors. Yeah I didn't think so either. My favorite thing out of all this BS is that half way through the semester he gave us the option to either make the website (but of course he wasn't going to teach us we had to figure it out ourselves) or work on the production team making a commercial. So most of the class has figured out how to design a website, and the people on the production team for the commercial aren't even on our class. If I had to guess I would say that maybe three, four tops are in the web design class and on top of that the shooting for the commercial doesn't even start until the class is long over with. Luckily I have a friend who knows all about web design and she really saved my ass with this class. This class that was a waste of my time and money. I plan on talking with the dean of the department and doing whatever I can to ensure that this man doesn't teach anymore, and if he does then make sure he know what he's doing. Be organized, have a syllabus, due dates, and most of all DO NOT say one thing one week then change you mind the next week, people cannot get any work done when you do that. Oh and if the description of the class says web design make sure that what you teach them.
