Humph! Humber

Is anyone else a little disappointed in the way that Humber College has handled our class this year, or perhaps less specifically, the summer session? To start with, our course load is condensed from fifteen weeks to twelve weeks, but we knew that going in and despite all the headaches and late nights/early mornings we accept it, and can brag and boast with a kind of pride about the sacrifices we make to get it all done. Fine. The cafeteria located in our section of campus is closed which means we must rely on the coffee cart in the basement of our building, wait no, that was closed too, which means we must rely on the snack dispensers in the basement of our building, wait no, they were taken away, which means we have to go William’s. Fine. The office of our faculty is closed. There is no one to accept assignments, we can’t make photocopies, we can’t use the long stapler (I needed that yesterday), and there is no one to contact when a teacher calls in to the office to cancel class, so an entire class of students shows up to no teacher, and come the following week there is still no explanation until our teacher tells us he was sick. Fine. The printers in the majority of classrooms are disabled, but we’re still paying for them. Fine. We have classes that are divided in half between two teachers and it is obvious that these two teachers have corresponded very little to not at all so that expectations built up over the first half of a course are dashed in the second half, and marking schemes, and expected assignments are thrown out the window. Kind of annoying. But fine. Just fine.
