View Full Version : A Look At Today's College Students (A Small Rant)
So last night, a girl had to do a presentation on Post-Modern Theatre. This was easily the worst presentation I've ever seen in my entire life. Let me run by some key points of this masterpiece.
1. Visual Aid - She used MS Powerpoint. Kudos to her. The problem is that for her key points, she basically copied and pasted paragraphs from Wikipedia. Her points were full of links to other websites and misinformation.
2. Sound - Her Powerpoint presentation kept playing random music over and over and over again. To make it stop, she would right click on the screen and pause the presentation. The problem with this, is that it would bring up a menu that would cover her "key points" which basically kept her from trying to read them and thus defeating the presentation all together.
3. Preparation - None. Absolutely no knowledge of what she was talking about in the first place. She was trying to read off her key points but failed miserably since her little menu kept getting in the way each time she tried to stop the music.
4. Organization - None, once again. She would jump from random definitions, to a key person, back to definitions, to an example, then back to another key person. I had no idea WTF was going on.
5. Literacy - Probably the biggest shock is the fact that this girl is a second year college student and CAN'T READ. I'm not just being biased. This girl couldn't read half the sh*t on her presentation.
Her: "Phi..Phillip..." *Skips the word and moves on*
Me (In my head): "IT'S PHILISOPHICAL YOU STUPID B*TCH!"
I seriously don't undestand how these f*cking idiots even got out of high school. Yet people wonder why the significance of a college degree is declining. This is why I want to be a teacher. So I can either educate or root out these morons.
Hooray for American Education! :no:

maybe she was just really nervous.. which would explain her studder.. but yeah she probably put the presentation together the night before and hadn't reviewed it.. im sure her grade will reflect that..

LoL, probably mostly just no prep, and ditzy? That's a bad presentation, though...
Get outta there. You seem smarter than that place...
Is she a total ditz/obnoxious in class, or does she just suck at presenting?
Is she a total ditz/obnoxious in class, or does she just suck at presenting?Obnoxious would be the word. She came into class last week about 15mins before it ended and tried to sign the roll while talking on her cell phone. When the teacher told her that she couldn't sign in, she scoffed, went back to her cell phone conversation and left. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I have not had to deal with that kind of stuff. I will say there are a lot of people who can not read in college. I learned that like my Freshman year in college. I still don't understand how the hell did they graduate high school and can't fucking read! So yeah the school system sucks!

its easy...if you are an athlete (good athlete) or kiss your teachers asses right, you will pass...end of story. My sophomore year i had a hard time in one of my classes (geometry) and i made like a 78...funny part is, the kid next to me (major athlete at our school, now got a D1 football scholarship lol) made a 94 and COPIED ALL MY SHIT. Funnier part is, when my teachers found out i wrestled, my geometry grade was a mid 80....hmmmm

Yeah they used to do that shit in high school. My ex-boyfriend was the star football player and after we broke up he used to harrass me sexually and my teacher would tell me I brought it on myself instead of doing anything about it. Fucked up shit!

What is your major? Trust me, the curriculum is a lot harder than you think its going to be. A lot of my friends decided to transfer to GSU because it was easier there, and some that went to GSU thinking CCSU was going to be easy, transfered back because they were failing classes left and right. :lmfao:

Im still pursuing my Bachelors in IT. My advisor's 3 years ago had me taking a lot of classes I didnt need to take, so basically Im stuck with almost 100 credit hours and some of them don't apply to my major. Im thinking about swapping to Business and just going for certifications on the side.
