So we were able to do a pre-test in programming I, and if you passed, you would get 70% of grade. Then doing the homework would net the rest 30%.

I passed the test and returned first homework, answer: "Sorry, you haven't been in classes, so you need to defend your work. It will take 10-20 minutes max"

I then informed the professor that I have done the exact same course in open university, and have proof of working as a programmer for 2 years, but it wasn't enough.

So in the fucking defending that took 50 fucking minutes, I had to answer to 15 fucking questions regarding the code.

How on earth am I supposed to remember what 2 fucking lines of code do in a program I wrote 3 weeks ago, if you don't give me the whole code?!?!
Or if Euler's fucking constant is defined in math.h, and why did I define it by myself?
And apparently scattering 50% of the code over 8 pages is sufficient for remembering what the whole programs does!??!?

Oooh and did I mention? I NEED TO GO AND FUCKING DEFEND MY NEXT HOMEWORK NEXT FUCKNG WEEK!!!

Fuck that course

    @hullu198 you'll always get the old ones stuck in their ways. Best to keep pushing forward.

    You could always talk to the dean, I guess

    @tisaconundrum Thanks :3 I need to get just 2.5 more points to pass the course, so maybe I just endure the defending and hope I won't get her as a teacher anymore

    Reminds me of my first Java course as I remember it 15 years ago.
    First day: this is an integer, this is how it makes you feel, and how you treat it correct...
    I left rather early and didn't attend until the exam, still got 95% correct but I missed that homework were 20% of the grade.
    But my grade hasn't affected my carred in any way so looking back its just a funny story.

    Fuck Open Uni. In my final year. Cannot wait to be done so I can actually focus on things that will help my career
