Can you paste in his teaching schedule? I think it's time to have our data scientists determine just how often he tweets on the job.
I guess I could try to dig into the registration schedules to find out all his sections but I’m not sure if it would show his classes there anymore because registration is long gone. It would take some effort for sure. Obviously if I just post my schedule it gives away my class section. During non-recitation (normal) class he is usually too busy talking about how fantastic he is to be tweeting, but during recitations I am 100% certain he just tweets the whole time since he isn’t teaching, he’s just there for “questions” (re: telling you to go fuck yourself).
I want to reiterate - practically
all of our fucking coding assignments are
timed during the recitation periods. They open at the beginning (meaning we can’t see them ahead of time) and then close exactly at the end. He has told us multiple times, if you submit your assignment even a minute late he will give you a zero. Even if you spent the last several hours working your ass off on an assignment that he purposefully only let you see right when you need to start it, you will still get a
zero if you are a minute late. If your internet cuts out? “How convenient”, you are automatically lying and get a zero.
So this is how they are timed. Pretty much
all our assignment are this way. If that isn’t insane enough, like I said in earlier posts, he will frequently edit the assignment instructions mid-assignment (which won’t even be seen unless we refresh the page) or send out obscure clarification or edits in the class chat function that may or may not even be seen by students since we are busy trying to complete our assignments before the time runs out. Obviously since we are timed we aren’t spending every second refreshing pages and reading his goddamn chat posts.
If you have your assignment halfway done and he decides to edit the instructions to change something halfway through the recitation period, if you even see that he has changed something in the
first place, you are then forced to go back into your code and scramble to change everything to fit the
new instructions. If you don’t see it, well then “you should have been paying attention yall”.
You might ask yourself why he doesn’t just figure his shit out and make sure that his assignment instructions are completed and finished
ahead of time, so that he doesn’t have to edit them
mid-fucking-assignment. You know, like a normal, competent professor who isn’t sent straight from the depths of hell himself. I have often wondered this as well. It’s likely because he is too busy tweeting out insanity at every waking goddamn moment to do something so meaningless as to ensure his students aren’t constantly yanked around based on his ever-changing whims.
If you decide you want to actually do a good job and make sure your shit is clean and clear, that your coding comments make sense and thoroughly explain your code, you are basically fucked because you’ll run out of time and get a 0. Combine that with the fact that he will sometimes spend the first part of recitation speaking or trying to go over some class content (which he does terribly, in the most confusing way, so it’s often not even helpful), it means we have
even less time to complete our assignment. The thought of giving us the extra time that he takes away from us by speaking in the beginning does not even cross his mind.
If Jimmy decides he wants to take up 25% of the time you have to complete your assessment going over material, then you are just fucked.
If you have a really good grasp of the course material, but you don’t code extremely fast (which is very likely, because keep in mind this is an
introductory course, meaning this is the
first encounter most students have with this subject), you are also just fucked.
So, if you like to take your time and submit quality work, and you don’t finish the assignment on time, you are forced to either submit a partially completed assignment, or submit the completed version late and get a
zero. Either way, you are fucked. If you scramble everything together as fast as possible in order to complete the assignment in the time given, and end up with sub-par work, he will likely take off points too, and you are fucked.
However, we honestly have NO idea which of those options to choose, as he has not graded ONE SINGLE ASSIGNMENT the entire semester. For example, he could have an issue with the way I format something, and may have been taking off points the entire semester for it, and I would have no idea because without grading we have
zero feedback.
I think that I have been submitting excellent work, however I could get my final grade in and end up with an F because retarded fucking Jimmy didn’t like my coding style or how I was doing something, even though he never graded a single assignment and never even gave me the chance to fix it or change it.
Can you imagine how incredibly fucked up that is? How we supposed to work like this? How are students supposed to get a good grade in one of the most subjective class subjects possible, with
zero grading,
zero feedback, and
zero opportunity to fix or change things?
He literally spends all his free time tweeting about his dick stench, or how Jesus speaks to him and tells him all non-trans people are going to hell, or how
gay people (who
don’t reproduce) are actually the “fundamental drivers of human biology”, instead of actually DOING HIS GODDAMN JOB AND GRADING ASSIGNMENTS SO HIS STUDENTS CAN ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO?
FUCK JIMMY. SERIOUSLY. I hope you guys can see how insane it is to have to deal with someone like this. When I say he is not fit to be a professor, I mean it in every possible way. Why can’t he just stop tweeting for 2 seconds and grade our fucking assignments?!?!
I honestly have a sneaking suspicion that he intentionally gives 0 feedback so that he can pass/fail any student he wants based on bias. With how subjective grading someones coding can be, and how he forces us to frequently submit partially completed work (because of his time limits), he has full control over how much partial credit to give, over how he decides to grade our assignments based on commenting clarity, coding efficiency, accuracy, etc - all of which are extremely subjective. If I have completed an assignment but there’s one tiny error, he could theoretically give me a 0 because it was “wrong”. Or perhaps he thought I should have used X function to do something, instead of the Y function that I used to do the same thing, and therefore take off points. Not like I would have any idea that he’d prefer it that way, since again -
zero feedback.
It is entirely within the realm of possibility that he could go around and look at all his students’ social media to determine how leftist they are, and grade all these subjective aspects based off of that alone. If he sees a Trump 2020 post on a student’s Facebook or twitter? Boom, no partial credit and extremely harsh grading. If he sees a student’s twitter posts advocating for child abuse and 6 year old’s being coerced into tranny transition surgery or HRT? Boom, full credit, A+.
It honestly seems like he uses the fact that students have no feedback to
intentionally place students in the position of being unable to give him exactly what he wants, therefore ensuring he has absolute control over every aspect of grading so that he could fuck over anyone he doesn’t like.
Also, on the subject of his incompetency and complete lack of self-awareness - there have been times that he has lectured the class for not showing up on time, only to then waste the next 5 minutes of class time ranting about the importance of showing up on time... and
THEN (and here is the biggest joke of all), after all that he will say “hold on, let me start up my program”, and then spend the next 5 minutes of class in complete silence while he starts up his fucking programs because he obviously wasn’t actually prepared himself, despite lecturing the class about how rude they were for not being prepared and coming to class on time. The irony seems to be
entirely lost on him.
