My advice goes to my fellow student who is frustrated with a professor who doesn't seem to be giving her the inspiration she needs to complete her work for the class. He is more concerned with his own agenda than helping her create a project that she can be proud of and use as an important part of her portfolio.
I say; screw the professor. Teachers are there to help you learn, help you become better in your field and create an environment in which you can work your skills to the best of your ability. If you're teacher isn't doing that, take charge for yourself. We are paying thousands of dollars to be here, and we deserve something for our money. If the professor can't give it to you, find some one who can. Find a mentor within the program that can help you, or seek an internship in which you know you can learn more. Often, our education is what we make it. Make it into something that works better for you. And use the teacher's class time to get other things done. Many times, I have found myself in a class the is a waste of my time, and I often get work for other classes done, or errands like grocery shopping lists.
Yes, this class is required to take, which is really a shame because it doesn't seem to be doing much for this student, but as I like to say; "Don't let school get in the way of your education."
