I don't appreciate my money being wasted (especially when I'm paying out of state tuition)...
This may not be a "reportable" situation, but I'll provide the details anyway.
I have a professor who assigned chapter readings from a textbook at the beginning of the semester. All this person has done EVERY class session is show overhead projection notes directly from the assigned reading. On top of this, the professor utilizes (as stated in her syllabus) a strict attendance policy, which drops your grade after every so many absences...despite that attending class is not beneficial if you've read the "OUTSIDE OF CLASS" readings.
Is there anything I can do to report the uselessness of this professor's class (as I can succeed just as easily without enrolling by simply picking up the book and reading it). Can I make a difference with the attendance policy?
I know both are extreme longshots, but at the very least I plan on sending a letter to the college's dean. I'm sure he won't be satisfied to hear the the students would gain just as much knowledge if a chimp were teaching the class (well, maybe not, since the majority of the students appear to be fully enthralled with her lectures, while I sit and do crossword puzzles the entire time).
