You're right haha. I've been exisiting exclusively off caffiene today. like it doesnt even really affect me anymore....oops. Going to try to finish out a couple more practice problems and get to bed by 10 (hopefully)
This is the worst
I've been known to finish off a can of Monster or several cups of coffee and start dozing within an hour
Yeah I think I had 6 shots of espresso yesterday. And update, I did go to bed at 10, and slept for 11 hours. What!?This is the worst
My sister did this to me once when I was 13. All of her 23+ year old friends bullied me pretty mercilessly on Facebook over something that she was at fault for. Sometimes it's better to unfollow those people so you don't have an aneurysm every time you check your feed.
I always take RMP with a grain of salt. It's a lot like Yelp or something to me, and I think people are more likely to leave negative comments than positive ones.
Yeah, I get that it is a hard class and they will probably get ripped apart regardless of how good/bad they are. But quite a few of the comments were about their teaching style in particular as compared to other profs, and they were ranked way below all of the other people who teach organic. It was my only option since there is only 1 section second semester. Usually people take it in first semester.
Yup. Especially with sites like that where it's completely of your own volition. Even with the official course and professor evaluations run by school, you tend to get more negative comments than positive across the board.
People just love love love to complain, probably more than anything else in the world. And I get it, it's cathartic. Just maybe shouldn't be taken all too seriously. I've never cared much about the particular professor who was teaching a class though, unless it was for a positive reason. So a couple classes in undergrad I took because they were recommended to me, and then I took additional classes with those professors because I knew I liked them. Other than that it was pretty much neutral. I know for other people the teaching style and whatnot matters a lot. I guess I'm just pretty flexible about it.We had a radiology professor in vet school who taught part of our first/second/third-yr radiology courses. I was on ultrasound rotation with this prof when she told us a story about a classmate of ours who filled out an evaluation that just roasted her, but concluded with something about how all-in-all she was still the best of the radiologists, "but that's like saying you're the best nazi."
She <was> tough and no-nonsense, but she was professional and she taught the damn material well. I really don't know what more people want .... a free participation grade of A? Give me a break. Do the damn work, earn your grade.
@kcoughli probably knows which radiologist I'm talking about.
**** like that makes me pretty much understand why so many profs ignore student feedback.
I can't wait to see some of the evaluations for one of our classes whenever that one comes up for review in the committee I'm on...judging by the amount of bitching I've heard it should be fun.
Stuff like this is part of the problem I have with being forced to do reviews. People pull stuff like this, which is unprofessional, and then legitimate reviews from students that detail actual concerns are completely ignored. I, as well as a lot of classmates, had a really bad time last year and most of it came back to one specific professor. We filled out our reviews dutifully, a survey went around thanks to SGA, I had personal conversations with people in administration, and we got an email at the end of the year saying that "positive change was coming." I've talked to the third years who are now in the same position I was last year and absolutely nothing has changed. The same stuff that I complained about, that the class before me complained about, and that several classes before them complained about, is still happening and is still a problem.We had a radiology professor in vet school who taught part of our first/second/third-yr radiology courses.

I sense a post coming in my Special Snowflake thread.
Can relate. I don't believe our reviews do much when it comes to deciding if change is needed, contrary to what we're told. We have some legitimate learning concerns in our curriculum too, and they are the same concerns the classes before us have had. It's almost like it's a rite of passage at this point. Upperclassmen kind of just chuckle and nod when 1st/2nd year brings up certain instructors.
Do they have a 30 min and it's free policy?
That's no fun. I had a similar experience in July and it turned out to be hepatitis due to mono. This was after I was required to take two pregnancy tests at urgent care despite insisting that I wasn't pregnant. I hope you get some answers, and a doctor that takes you seriously!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Did you get any lab work done (e.g., blood panels) or other procedures/tests run? Feel free to pm me. Otherwise, I hope you feel better soon!
Yep, but even caffeine-free soda causes it, so I'm more inclined to think it's the fructose. Am going to see about consulting with a doctor soon, too, just in case.
). I actually tried a sip of my friend's coke the other day just to see how I felt about it now, and it was disgusting to me. It can be done! You have my full support 
especially in grenada where they only add about 3 drops to the alcohol hahaI gave up soda for Lent a few years back and have never picked it back up (unless I'm drinking alcohol with it... but that doesn't count
Also, tangential to this conversation but if you ever want to talk to somebody about weight loss junk my inbox is open. I've been working on it myself this semester and I've lost about 40 lbs, and I know how much of a struggle it can be to work on stuff like that on top of school and existing in general.
why I could never do academia.
