COMMUNICATION... i can spell it out if I need to

It has been an entire month exactly since I last wrote a blog post. Forgive me? I was doing so well in the rest of the semester, but as the end crept nearer and nearer I felt myself slipping further and further behind. My research paper for English was a killer task that I didn't know I would struggle so much with. But, I have finished it and now I am leaving it in God's hands and trust that I get the grade that I feel I deserve.

That doesn't go for every class that I have taken this semester. Of course I have trusted God to give me the strength and knowledge to complete my classes with as much ability as I have, but that does not cover teacher's mistakes. Everyone is human, but what makes a person act "inhumane" is when they act as if they do not care about other people's lives. Communication has been the focus for this class the entire year, and of course it should be because it is so titled "Interpersonal Communication" so that would be only fitting. But I think what makes me upset about the fact that one of my teachers seemed to lack the communication gene is that I tried to communicate. I tried to openly tell my teacher that I was struggling and they did not seem to care very much. Sylabi are great and I think they serve a great purpose, but you cannot abuse the sylabus and make it be whatever you want it to be. First of all, not posting it on MyCampus is a little bit rediculous since we, as students, are told to rely on MyCampus for class information. Secondly, I do not feel that you can interupret the information given on the sylabi the way YOU want it to be conveyed. Write out what you mean, don't put it in mixed messages because students do not know you that well. I can't read minds, if I could I probably wouldn't be at college right now. And thirdly, I do not believe that it is a teacher's right to find information online and only use that information instead of giving their students the right to look at the information themselves instead of relying on getting all of the information given in a class period written down BY HAND. In this particular professor's class you were not allowed to bring a computer to class unless directed by Carol Sinnamon saying that you had a preexisting condition that allowed you the use of the electronic devise to take notes. For some instances I find accomodations to be vidal for thier success, but I do not think that a teacher who does provide a copy of their notes for students to see should be a situation where computers are outlawed.

COmmunication was completly lost in the class and therefore I am upset with the grade I received. Tell me if I am wrong for believing these things, but in my heart of hearts I feel that I deserved a better grade than what I received. My grade point average should not suffer because one teacher lacked the key element that is required to run a smooth classroom operation: communication!
