I am taking online courses for Interior Design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and I enjoy it however the latest assignment we had is pissing me
off! We had to write a two page paper on our chosen career and then another student has to "edit" the paper and give more suggestions for our career
of choice, meaning they have to give us another source to find information on our field. Well we had a WEEK to post and the professor stated in
BOLD to post
ON TIME and to be
PROMPT, well only myself and another student posted on time. We were assigned a students paper to
edit and if that person didn't post we were told to go down the list to the next student who posted if the one you were assigned had not posted on
time. I did this and my professor told me to give the person I had a chance that it was due Wednesday, well it was Wednesday at 11:45pm and this
person STILL had not posted. I am sorry but I refuse to wait for another person who has no real excuse to post late. All the assignments are given to
you when you start the course and you know the dates they are due from day ONE. Anyways, the person who was supposed to edit mine still has NOT posted
and I am getting pissed off. We have to use the persons edits and repost our paper by Sunday with the edits and their suggestions. It's now Friday
and this person still hasn't posted the original assignment or the edit of my paper. I do not like assignments like this where you have to rely on
another student. I could give a crap about anyone else in that class, I only care about my grades and my assignments. I am in this course for ME and
nobody else. I have straight A's and I have no patience for slackers. It's an online course so there is no excuse to post late. You can log in any
time of the day or night! I work 14hrs a day 3 days a week and 10 the other two days and I still post on time. I post many times at 2am or 3am after
work and sometimes I am three sheets to the wind and I still get an A
It has to get done so I do it alcohol induced or not. I do not like waiting
for someone else!!! I like my work to be perfect and this moron I am waiting on is making it hard for me to do my paper properly. I will now have to
miss some time from work to get the assignment done by Sunday, that is if they even post! According to my book I am a "selfish loner" because I
don't like group assignments. No I don't like someone else getting an A because of my hard work while they sit around and do nothing.
People like that don't belong in college if they are just going to scoot by at the bare minimum. There are plenty of people out there who would love
to be in school. I say give the slackers money to those who really care about their education and let the slackers go! I am one of those who has a
hard time getting assistance for school and I get really pissed off when people get in school, get all kinds of money and do the minimum just to get
the lowest passing grade. This semester I was lucky and got a scholarship and other assistance and you can bet you arse I will get straight A's all
through the course. I am involved in the online clubs for Interior Design and I signed up for student council and I still have time to post my
assignments on time, work and party. People need to learn to PLAN their damn days out!
This is what I want to do this this moron holding me back!
