My CS T.A. - Friday, October 22, 2004
My CS T.A. seems very apathetic. He chose to not have discussion the first day. He did not bother to give many details on the project he assigned us, nor did he discuss what program we could use to write our code. He essenially said "make me a Linux shell program with such and such features." Only when questioned about specific program specifications does he address them- and it seems like he makes up an answer on the spot. He replied to a question I emailed to him, telling me that this one type of input was legal, and the next day somebody asked him the same thing in class and he said it was not legal.
Today he failed to show up for discussion without even notifying us. Since I brought my laptop in hopes of getting some work and feedback done in class, I did not mind waiting and working (with half-hearted hope that he would show up) while all of the other students gradually filed out of the room. I stayed for over half an hour until I got tired of working, and left knowing that our T.A. doesn't give a hoot about us.
