Okay. So apparently my teacher for this class did not get the memo that this is an ONLINE course!!! She has a PH.d. and I think she assumes that we are going for our doctorates instead of our masters. Just to give you an idea of what is going on I'll explain what this class involves. 3 individual papers (with intense research), 3 BIG team assignments, 4 days of posts a week for participation points, 2 team annotated bibliographies a week, and one team response a week. This ALL needs to be done within 4 weeks. On top of that, she posts the requirements for each assignment, but in 3 or 4 different places and with 3 or 4 different sets of requirements and then when we ask questions for clarification, she sends us back to these postings (like that clears it up). She gets defensive and is kind of all out rude in her answers sometimes. On top of that, she sometimes does NOT include things she requires in the assignments and even if you follow her rubrics SPECIFICALLY, she still requires more and grades just as harshly!! It is a joke. I have never been this stressed out about a class in all my life, including my 18 years of pre-masters program classes. I am trying to get a formal complaint together and have A LOT of class support as everyone is struggling in this class!! Honestly, we took an online class because we have jobs, families, and lives and really want to be successful and do our assignments right, but that is impossible if we don't know what we are supposed to be doing!!! Boo on online courses!! Or should I say, online teachers!!
