Our anatomy lab instructor is the most despicable individual ever. Over the past two weeks I probably spent over 10 hours following him around and going to reviews in preparation for our last practical. They decided to tag the most unusual stuff. Example: I put "inguinal ligament" and it was wrong because the correct answer is "right crus of inguinal ligament". I didn't even know that ligament had a damn crus. Another example, out of the entire pelvis, they put a sticker on a part of the pubis, and I called it "superior ramus of the pubis". Of course its not correct because it was pointing to some tiny line that you can't even see without a magnifying lens, the "pectineal line".
Out of all the reviews and bull**** I went through in prep for this, only a few items were tagged that were talked about. It's like they review all the items they WON'T tag and then try to trick you. I hate this ****ing lab. I got a C on the last practical and now I need a 98 on the final to get Honors. So most likely I will just get a HP. The sad part is my written exam grades are all honors, its the lab that screwed me over. I sincerely believe the lab instructor is dead set on lowering student's grades, some of the **** they do is just unbelievable. Is it like this everywhere or is this unique to my school? Luckily I am honoring the other 3 classes but I feel like there really is no methodology for this class. In all other classes, they lay out everything you need to know, and if you put enough time into it, you will do well. You control your own grade. In lab though, you could spend an infinite amount of time and still end up with a mediocre grade.
Sorry to rant, I really had to let out some steam
