I personally hate it how if only 10% of a class understands what\\\'s going on (usually because they already took it last semester) and the other 90% is failing the professor will sometimes give an extra credit assignment that is 400% harder than anything the class has ever seen. The 10% goes from A to A+ and the other 90% can\\\'t finish the extra credit assignment and the time spent working on it would have been better spent studying for the test.

itt bitch

about the hand life has given you

i hate it when i'm in a class that's 90% full of retards and the professor gives an extra credit assignment that 90% of the class is clearly too retarded to understand

My classmates on art class are DUMB PEOPLE. One of them shooped the woop me in real life. Other one said something in the lines os "Oh boy that coraline movie sure had nice 3d!"
My prediction is that like 30% of them will quit the carreer next semester because they find out animation doesnt magically do itself.

my classmates on math cant undertsand most of the topics and like the 3 guys that sixt next to me ask me to explain them stuff.
In programing I feel like im the person whos less experienced and im getting 85% ok (like B+)

I never sleep and I still feel like im a lazy thurd

Most of my classmates hate studying. So Im like, the fuck are you doin' at an uni?

I hate our 'guest classmates' who come from a nearby uni/college to take a few filmcourses, cos they have to, and they're bitching about how they hate the whole thing.

What I hate even more, is that some bitches in Radio class take on some stuff to do, and not only they don't show up to most of the classes, they don't do jack shit. We can't finish some of our programs because of them, so in the end, the brodcasts are delayed.. FUCK 'EM

I hate self-absorbed classmates. Y'know, the ones that clearly show-off, try too hard to be the teacher's pet, and will do what they can to demean the rest of the class ("I can't believe no one else is interested in these ancient artifacts like I am! I feel like I'm the only one who understands while everyone here is just doing this for GE and are gonna drop out before the end of this semester!").

I want to describe them as "the smart people", but that'd be to big of a generalization since I know plenty of smart classmates with common courtesy. I understand folks who are more enthusiastic about learning than others, like people who have a head start and know what they want to do with their lives... But golly, the self-important types are annoying. I feel good whenever my grades are better than the hoity-toity types, especially when the class ain't my major and I'm taking more units than they are.

physics ii (calc iii is a prereq) sucks for everyone except this guy:



subsequently he is the only one to complete the extra credit assignment.

another pet peeve i have is professors who have a thick indian or asian accent. this means every cs professor ever.

i like beautiful european accents.

oh man the WORST are the otaku shits in art class who can\\\'t shut the fuck up for five minutes and make the WORST projects. in addition the one in my class makes dangerous connections in his projects without even realizing it. example: for the collage project he takes a picture of a classroom and puts halo\\\'s hud and gun over it, saying that his message is that "games are different from real life, but they are based on real life, like how their physics and graphics are based on real life physics and graphics" DOES HE NOT REALIZE THE IDIOTIC CONNECTION HE IS MAKING BY USING A PICTURE OF A FUCKING CLASSROOM JESUS CHRIST

when asshole teachers think they're being fair somehow by grading the better students harder
CLEARLY IF I WRITE A BETTER PAPER I AM A BETTER STUDENT AND SHOULD BE REWARDED RATHER THAN PUNISHED

also today i was gonna hang out at my old school and sit around in classes with friendsbut the gestapo kicked me out cause i didn't call early enough or something
every single staff member knew who i was and they still decided i was a threat to academic sanctity

around 10% of my class know what they want to do after university - and 5% of those want an actual career in graphic design/animation/whatever.

one guy is RETAKING the 3rd year (which is very fucking important) and last week handed in a fuckin bunch of concept notes. we're supposed to be 20 secs into a 30 sec animated piece by now. its pretty pathetic seriously and its mystifying as to why he hasn't been kicked off the fuckin course already.

also one of my profs is really biased and loves this generic AE-made stuff with google images and masking and effects galore as well as that horrible 'puppet' style of animation where you just anchor different parts of the body and tween. goodbye narrative and character design if you wanna appease him

GOOD GOD THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN FLIPPING THE SHITTY FAKE DESK UP IN A LECTURE HALL TO FIND THAT I WAS TOUCHING WET CHEWING GUM TO DO SO. Seriously, who does this. Put the fucking gum in the trash can, people have no fucking manners or something.

I don\\\'t know if any of you have ever taken game programming classes, but 95% of the people in those classes are the biggest faggots in the entire universe. I\\\'m sure rtil can attest to this.

I hate it when we get a test in Calculus that is worth 20% of our total term grade and I get the second highest grade in the class of a C- on the test.
