Or the students are assholes. Students these days don’t make the life of a teacher necessarily easier. Back then you could slap them, now you can’t do anything about annoying students.
@King Anubis I assume that is the case with your school? From where I come from, the dislike for that teacher of mine was actually pretty justified and I can write a short essay about it if you want to hear about it.
Very well. He was my lecturer in Programming in my First Semester in my first year, and he is a terrible teacher in his own right. When he teaches, the concepts are not clear and after each explanation he just moves on without us having even a chance to say that we do not understand at all. Cont.
And then, his common sense and grammar also seems very skewed. When we ask him a question, his answer suddenly all goes off topic and unrelated to the question we are asking, but that is not the worst of what he does. My Year 3 seniors and Year 1 Juniors all have complaints specifically ONLY about him teaching. Most of those who failed programming were taught by him. Cont.
He also does not only just teach programming, but some other game design related modules. Oh, and in this course of mine (Game Design), we mostly use two game engines, Gamemaker Studio and Unity. Cont.
However, instead of teaching us how to use the lastest versions of Gamemaker and Unity, he wanted the entire cohort to use the older versions of the game engines for some unknown reason. (Eg, the latest version of Gamemaker is 2.0 but we had to use 1.4 instead). Cont.
And in my second semester of my first year, I had a module called "Tools in Game Design" where I learned how to use Photoshop CC 2017, Audacity, and Gamemaker, and this is also another module he happens to teach me too. And good lord, he has to frequently look up google during class to explain to use how certain functions work (Cont.)
It is especially the case with Photoshop, from the way he looked up google and teaches, it looked like even a student with little to no knowledge of photoshop knows how to use it more than him. Also in the very same module, we had e-learning, where we have to join a Discord Group and a Live Stream by our lecturers as we do our work (Cont.)
His live streaming is glorious. Firstly, the live stream is always lagging, and then the live stream sometimes will cut off halfway randomly, and his most crowning achievement of all? He never starting streaming at all in one of my lessons. Cont.
Everyone from my class pointed it out to him in the Discord group, but the lecturer said that the after he is done recording, we can still see the video. (Which of course, never showed up.) Saying that looking up google or videos on youtube is a lot better is an understatement. Cont.
And lastly, in my Second Year, we have graded projects requiring to make a game. Some of us use Gamemaker Engine, some of us use the Unity Engine. In the document detailing about the graded project, there was nothing that said about what game engine we are restricted to using. Cont.
Then, at the 4th week after the release of the project details, he said that we are only allowed to use Gamemaker only. He won't accept any submissions made with Unity. This really pissed a lot of students, even some of the other lecturers too. He even scolded the other lecturers for not telling us students that we are only restricted to Gamemaker. Cont.
