It's the end of winter quarter at CSCC, and I'm finally done with my speech class. The class itself was cake, but it was absolutely miserable. Why was it miserable? The fucking cunt of an instructor, that's why. I don't know if anybody else has had her, but Karen D'Arbanville is the absolute biggest bitch I have ever encountered in my entire 20 years of life. Let me list several reason's why:
1. She's in a horrible mood, everyday.
2. She is completely random in who she lashes out at, and she lashes out at many people on a daily basis, for absolutely no reason (and I'm not kidding when I say no reason at all)
3. She argues with people for no reason
4. Tells you your information is completely wrong, and that you need to make sure you get your facts straight before doing your speech. (She personally did this during my speech [cut me off while I was presenting] and told me that I needed to get 'reliable' sources. Even though I know I'm right)
5. I was sitting behind her one day while another girl was giving a speech. About 30 seconds into the girls 5-6 minute speech, the bitch instructor wrote a big, fat 'C' at the top of the girls grade sheet, without even letting her finish or hearing it out. The girls speech wasn't even bad, at all. In fact, it was rather good from what I remember.
6. Refused to answer my simple question today at the beginning of the final exam. I raised my hand as she was standing next to me, said, "I have a question." and then she rolled her eyes at me and said, "I'm sure you do." And then she fucking walked away. I could see her doing this if I asked a question every 5 fucking minutes, but I'm probably the quietest person in the class, and don't really ask alot of them.
These are just a few things that came to my mind as I was typing this. Shit like this happened EVERY SINGLE DAY. Her attitude and actions towards the class drug everybody else down with it, IMO. I've talked with another guy in the class and he's already said he's going to write to the department director, expressing his opinion. I believe that I am going to do the same thing as well.
The woman is obviously not interested in her job, or she has some serious personal issues. However, that is not my problem, nor is it the rest of the classes problem. We pay to take that class, and for her to teach/act this way, I don't feel that I'm getting my money's worth. She obviously doesn't belong in a teaching position.
Besides writing a letter to the department director (though I'm sure she's had many written about her) is there anything else I can do to make her life as miserable as she's made mine? I'd love to see her ass canned. Though she deserves more, IMO.
Thanks for any advice. I thought about writing a letter sooner, but I feel that she's the type of person that would 'adjust' your grade based on her personal feeling toward you, and not on your class performance. So, I didn't want to piss her off any sooner than I had to. I've bit my tongue all quarter, and now I want to say what's on my mind (after Saturday when grades are final)
P.S. - Tilley, you're in the teaching field. What can I do?
