I just need to vent a little.
So I am going to college online for Medical Coding & Billing. I am in a computer applications course right now. We have to post a discussion about a topic every week on a specified subject and describe the some function or how to use type of thing.
This week it was excel and pick a topic that everyone can learn from.
Well this one guy every week either goes way out in left field with one paragraph description of something not anywhere near the subject or just puts in a one paragraph description of what the topic is. Like this week he described what a spreadsheet is. This teaches no one anything, of course because we have already read this in our books.
Well part of our requirement is to evaluate two threads a week. So I like helping people, so I have been trying to help him the previous three weeks in a nice manner. Even offering to help him with the projects. This week I got a little more forceful. Basically, I just do not like wasting my time and energy. I also, hate to see people not living up to their full potential. So I wrote in his evaluation. "We go through this every week. Please just ask the instructor, myself, anyone for help. We are all here for you and want to see you succeed." Type of post.
Needless to say, I have gotten beat up (mentally wise) for trying to get this guy to put forth some effort. GrRR! I am so pissed.
One thing I have learned, I will not be helping him anymore. But I do feel that it is hard to evaluate a post with absolutely no effort put into it and come out looking nice and sweet. LOL. So I will be avoiding all less than great posts and giving only the "You did terrific!" lines to everyone. This will cause me to get a lower grade. So that ticks me off too.
Thank you for letting me take some of my frustration out.![]()
