I hate 500!

That stupid assignment was due this morning not tomorrow morning. I thought I was fine since the last one was due on a Wednesday morning and it turns out it was this morning.

All my feeling of oh good I did it just left as my shoulders tensed up. I emailed my GSI or TA to find out how much trouble I'll be in but damn it.

I hate these kind of small assignments that are turned in oddly in relation to when the class is. It throws me off and I want to yell that I'm not a bad student, I'm not!

ETA: Its due the 7th which is today since its after midnight and its technically due at 8 am so I'm early.

I absolutely agree. I feel like current technology has made it so we have perpetual classtime, which is bad for lots of reasons. When everything is due at the designated class time, that makes it much easier to keep track of our lives. I think that even beyond practicality, this is one of those nettiquette things. "Just because you technically CAN connect with someone at any time does not mean you have the right to demand that connection." I can see why an exception might be made for a course like this when everyone is taking the same class at three different times, but this sort of thing happens way more often than just with 500.

I also hate that assignments can show up in our (overflowing) inboxes, or that we have to dig around in CTools to find important information. I'm sure profs feel that they have "more important" things to present during class (like lectures, heh) but there should be one point each week where that kind of thing is given out, rather than expecting us to not miss anything in our e-mail boxes or in the confusing mess that is CTools. (Or, worse, an undefined one of those!)

Okay, I'm done venting now. :)

Its a good vent and says a number of things better than I can. This class puts huge expectations on our time when we have others that are too so its just draining of time in other ways.
