Dear Instructor for my Advanced Computer Graphics Class

Dear Instructor for my Advanced Computer Graphics Class,

I didn't really learn a lot in your class this semester. Just because you have been around a really long time does not make you a good teacher. You may know lots of stuff about programs, but we do not learn through osmosis. I am not sure why you graded me so harshly. I don't think my stuff is so bad. Why did you tell us to come pick up our stuff today and then when I asked for it, you told me you hadn't finished grading it, even though you had written an A on it, and then told me I probably wouldn't get an A on it? I think you just don't like me because I spoke out about you and the rest of the class harassing a kid because of his political beliefs. Maybe this is because you think I might agree with him? Did you give him bad grades because he is a Republican? You said that that one girl's photo composition was really good, but it wasn't. It didn't look real like the assignment asked for. Mine looked way more realistic than hers. I think you just liked it because it was all anti-death penalty. I thought you said we couldn't do compositions like that? When Matt wanted to do the fetuses in placentas hanging from trees you said that was too anti-abortiony, even though that's totally not where he was going with it. Can we only do politically motivated projects if you agree with our politics? On the rubric you should have stated under class requirements: Become closed-minded, liberal, democrat. That would probably make your grading system a little more clear.

Additionally the comments you made on my 2-page spread were totally wrong. You said my spread looked like it was geared towards really young girls. Is that supposed to be insult, because you have said that multiple times? Additionally, I read many 'Women's Magazines' and you are so wrong. It is totally geared towards twenty-somethings. It is not at all like layouts in Seventeen, etc.

Also, when we were at Pizza Hut, you totally embarrased me when you made such a big deal about the beer. It was really obnoxious. We were at Pizza Hut, not a micro-brewery. Pizza Hut has specialty pizzas, not specialty beers. You should realize that your fancy beer-democrat world does not follow you wherever you go, and consider not making a scene every time you encounter this.

I can't believe you could be a vegetarian for twenty years and not realize your shoes are made out of freaking leather! Are you dumb? And then to say you are going to keep buying leather shoes because they are going to continue making them, even if you don't buy them! Probably, they'll keep processing meat if you don't eat that too.

In conclusion, I would like to say that you are a pretty shitty teacher, and I really don't like you. When you were my teacher for the first couple days of Intro to Computer Graphics I knew I didn't like you then too. You had this irritating art-dept. cliche attitude and were saying all these things that would only be relevant to us had we been long time students which you knew none of us were. That is so annoying. I hope you retire soon, and that I don't have to take any more of your classes.
