Lunatics running the asylum is an understatement.

I would ask your advice Dr. Vertical:

I am taking an online class and in lieu of recorded lectures as in other online classes, we have PowerPoint presentations with pre-recorded audio.

The problem is, I can barely make sense of the speech; he is from an Eastern European background.  This would not be an issue if I could make sense of the writing or understand the progression of the calculations in the examples.  The whole thing is making for a very overwhelming experience, leading to difficulties understanding the material as he is not teaching from the text.  The last quiz came back as a 25 out of 100.

The professor cannot help how he speaks, but I paid for my seat in that class and got an “A” in the sole prerequisite of said class, so how would you advise approaching the matter?

I would contact him and describe the difficulties you’re having.  Often, I’ve found that if one student had a particular difficulty, chances are there may be more, so you might not be alone in this.

 

If you don’t bring it to his attention, it’s unlikely that anything will change.

Man, I can identify with Quarter Wave and everyone else’s comments here. After I got my doctorate, I did a stint of college teaching before I just couldn’t take it any more, and got out(and yes, there WAS a woman involved in that one, of course!). One of my first semesters teaching, I was teaching one of those “hard” classes that women just can’t handle… it had to be all about their feelings and emotions, but not about analysis or thought. So after class one night, this shark-toothed you-know-what, who has been making faces at me all during class, flirting in that “look at me I’m adorable  and I’m available” sort of way, asked me if we could have dinner sometime, and “work something out” because she was having “difficulty” in the class … You get the idea. So I took her to dinner, ordered oysters for myself(though I don’t know if the gesture was appreciated, she was that clueless), and of course, she starts smiling and flirting. I smile back, and told her in no uncertain terms that I wasn’t interested in her. Then, of course, came the threats: “If you don’t give me an A I’ll complain to the dean that you were harassing me, took me to dinner for sexual favors.” Etc etc. Poor thing. I just smiled and said “Good luck with that, because I’m a homosexual. And I know a few guys here in town that can testify to that, as will the bartenders of my favorite gay bar here in town.”

She wilted. And actually, one of the few times I ever enjoyed teaching was watching her writhe and wriggle through examinations.

As I recall, she earned a D.

People keep asking me why I won’t try to become a teacher, or even a substitute, at least. Apparently, because I’m a major history buff and can quote s~~~ about the Civil War, World War Two/Korea/Vietnam battle facts that even some of their own fighting veterans weren’t even aware of, everyone says, “How come you aren’t a teacher?” Because of THIS f~~~ing s~~~ that I just read, and other horror stories from the same career field. Women teachers having sex with their underage students and getting 30 days probation, walking out of the court with a little smug smile on their faces, and male teachers who are destroyed mentally and career-wise by bulls~~~, f~~~ed-up female students who complain and wring the teacher out to dry with false complaints, when the teacher’s only crime was flunking her, or letting her know in some other way that she isn’t the f~~~ing center of the universe and that she can’t get good grades by just her LOOKS. Unfortunately, everyone who recommends this line of work for me isn’t aware of the problems for male teachers, or for the asinine POLITICAL CORRECTNESS where you can get FIRED just because you’re not teaching the government’s censored version of lessons and someone gets offended for you teaching it the wrong way. F~~~ teaching. Our enemies have succeeded in driving out the men who may have something educational to offer from the entire teaching profession. Old-time teachers are being fired left and right, some only DAYS from being qualified from their pension, and people today who would make pretty damn good teachers(like the principal that Morgan Freeman plays on “Lean On Me”)are bowing out and saying to HELL with that and choosing other professions.

I replied, “Because the SYSTEM hates male teachers, and more of them are getting fired just because Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet and cried to the principal about a false molesting report just because her teacher said he was going to flunk her for not doing her homework or paying attention. Why should I go skate on THAT kind of thin ice?”

When I graduated with my Bachelors in Criminal Justice, some of my family wanted me to continue on an get a masters degree.  Some of them wanted me to continue on and become a professor.    The above quotes summarize my position better than I could.  These above quotes are a part of the reason why I never pursued a career in the education system.

I have brought these points up to family and friends, however less elegantly.  They cannot comprehend what I am saying.

I had difficulty dealing with feminism as a student.  As a teacher or professor I never would have been able to put up with the bulls~~~.  I almost failed classes because I disagreed with what a feminist professor taught.   And with a career?  It would not end well.
