Dear Dr. Juicy,
I hate your class. No, I do not hate the subject or topic of the history course. Far from it actually, I only hate your class. I would much prefer the other professor that teaches the course, Dr. Leung, because for some odd reasons that worry me you have him lecture about China at least once when we return to the country. It's your field of specialty, and apparently have been teaching the subject longer than Dr. Leung himself. Doesn't that seem a little odd? And the fact that I enjoy Dr. Leung's lectures far more than yours.
Also; please finish your sentences. I am new to not having notes on the board, and writing out of ear (which is rather difficult when dealing with foreign names and have no idea how to spell.) but if you can't complete a sentence and suddenly go onto a different topic I won't understand what on earth is going on. I can't read thoughts either, so please don't finish your sentences in your head for I can't hear. And please, please stay on topic! We're dealing with Chinese nationalism now, so don't go back to India in one sentence then Japan, which we haven't even touched on yet, and then suddenly back to China. Make transitions! Not hop around.
Learn to check what you are sending out, your a college professor there is no need to make simple elementary grammar mistakes. Sending an e-mail to me and not capitalizing your sentences, and "...I would like to discussion your discussion." does not make sense even if I understand what you are talking about. And don't expect us to know big words you use in lecture, yet you don't understand what contest means.
I also wish you had given me some sympathy of writing over what my grade would have been on my discussion paper with the new one. Just because you don't understand why my friend and I have have similar discussion papers even though I told you we worked together on it, doesn't mean you should make me stare at the pen written 9/10 that was crossed out in pencil, and rewrote 0/10 in pen right next to it. It's just infuriates me knowing I had an A, and now an F. It's plain cruel especially knowing I spent two all nighters straight working on your stupid discussion paper only using our texts book since we weren't allowed to use any type of outside resource.
I could continue this all day, but I think I've made my point.
The student that loathes being in your class,
Samantha.
P.S.
Just one more thing; if you ask if we understand a term, say nationalism, and all of us understand what it means then don't spend the whole entire class period talking about what it means. We're all ready behind as it is.
