#textbook rant

And then when the books you need don't get posted until like 2 days before the class. There's a 90% chance I'm going to buy it online and I have to wait for shipping. I'm sure as hell going to get behind on the reading. 

And those damn books that are expensive no matter where you buy the, and the cheapest option is still like $50 dollars for a good used one. And you could get a cheaper used one but "acceptable" condition is too risky.

The prof literally made about 600 different thigns to take into account when grading us

Made us do wekly assignemnts in THE most complicated way possible, for marks

Made it so each of us has to critique 10 other people's assignments every week FOR MARKS

And then we have to REsubmit 3 assignments for MORE marks on special dates

And the submit deadline is 2PM. But the comment submit time is 11:59 pm.

And this is all done online

And if our internet went out or for some reason we couldn't get to a computer to submit the assignment on time, we're just straight up outof the marks.

But wait, there are 2% in bonus marks we can make up by doing "Super fun exciting" in-class activities to make up for an assignment we miss, to account for this

Even though everyone who COULD sumbit the assignment would get those 2% on TOP of their assignment marks.

Oh and all of this is to "Get us to think like social psychologists".

So assuming the only reason we'd take this course is because we're all obviously going into the field of social psychology

And you know what? After reading hte first two chapters of the textbook, it looks like the writers were a bunch of idiots who refuse to see anything other than the "Social psychologist" view and completely ignore definitions and alter them to fit their discipline, and pretty much throw all other views under the bus and  make any other views sound like a bunch of idiots.
