i have never felt more justified in my life

so most of you probably know about my feelings for purdue north central, mainly the professors there. you may know that i hang up my degree from there not because i am proud of it, but because i spent money on it so i may as well display it. for those that don't know the stories and want to, let me know and i will tell you.

most of you have probably heard my long, foaming at the mouth rants about the professors there and how bad they are and how i don't think they are fit to teach at all, let alone a college level course.

well today i found a page called rate my professors.com. i just happened to look up my two "favorite" teachers from pnc to see how other people rate them and i found that my rants are in no way unique. in fact, i feel as if my rant material has been stolen from me :) all it means it that i'm not the only person that was treated the exact same way.

the following are my two favorite professors and their best ratings:
Mick Lantis: (fancy pants)

This professor is of poor quality at best, He stumbles through the material presented and only reads the power points the publishers of the book created. He also boots his low self-esteem by talking down to most all of his students, some know more than he does in the class as it is. He also reeks of "I Didn't see myself doing this in 20 years".
-----------------------------------------------------
Professor completely incompetent. Doesn't know the first thing about anything. The class is suposed to be web design. He teaches it as a web programming class, where you learn absolutely no design skills whatsoever. Tests have incorrect questions, answers and misspellings. I have a hard time believing this guy even knows how to wipe his own butt.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cant teach and stumbles through the book, needs to really learn his material and be able to provide more real life experiances
-----------------------------------------------------
He has no idea how to teach a college level course effectively. His lecture consist of him reading some powerpoint slides created by the book publisher, and stumbling through examples with the guidance of the "nerds" in the class. The tests are impossible, and he randomly accuses people of cheating.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cant teach at all, does not know the material reads powerpoint slides and uses the code the book provides. Does not even understand a question if you are to ask him
-----------------------------------------------------
Uses Frontpage often in a web design class. That in and of itself is terrible. The books have outdated and (now) inaccurate info; his knowledge of the subjects at hand did not often go beyond what was in the book. Misspellings common on tests. Not a very good teacher overall. Avoid his classes.
------------------------------------------------------
Professor has appaling overall teaching style. His students in some cases know more about presented coursework. His tests are absolutely terrible. There are in correct answers on tests he will not modify grade to reflect corrected answers.

Judy Serwatka:
This was a networking class and she knew next to nothing about the subject. Whenever a student asked a question, she would invariably respond with "I don't know." I work in I.T. and have experience in networking environments, and can say that she is not fit to teach college level computer courses.
------------------------------------------------------
The fact that this is a "Programming for the Internet" course and that we use Frontpage is contradictory. Also, the webpage she hypes so much that she owns and maintains proves that she should not teach web programming. Link: http://lakeeffectmiataclub.home.att.net/


it's good to see that my little encounter with Lantis didn't change him at all and he still accuses people of cheating.

i'm also very disappointed that Serwatka's webpage is no longer up and running. but i guess that is good because it saves you from soaking up the blood coming from your eyes.

on a side note, i looked up most of my Purdue main campus professors and they had the ratings i was expecting there as well. example: He's hard as hell and makes you work your ass off, but he really knows his stuff and you learn more than you were expecting. great class.

oh pnc, you're like an experiment in how NOT to do things.
