When do we approach our professors and tell them they are not doing their jobs? When do we tell them that their class time is a blatant waste of time? I m currently enrolled in a Chicano Culture course that in 3 weeks has gone over roughly 4 chapters of a book, a few essays from another book and an introduction of a third book. One book "Drink Cultura" should get a new tittle in my opinion, it should be "Enema de Cultura" the book is terribly disjointed and there is nothing fulfilling about reading it. In one sense, the tittle of an essay in this compilation of essays might be called "Dear Mr. Consulate" and it is literally a bunch of letters chopped up and inserted in some random order that leaves the reader wondering whats the point?" Seriously, the letters were so terribly written and they were just bad, but the part that was even worse, worse then the horribly written letters, was the lack of cohesion. Nothing kept them together.
Another book that we are reading is called Harvest of Empires, or something to that effect, this book explores the Chicano culture as well as the roots of the Latin Americans and their histories. This book also lacks in the cohesiveness department. This book jumps more (pardon the pun) then a Mexican jumping bean. The kicker is... it is written poorly too.
Finally we have a book called "Latinos" I read a chapter, well most of a chapter, that was 6 pages long, the thing is, 5 pages in I was wondering to myself whether or not any of it made sense. I also had not gained anything out of those 5 pages so I looked ahead to see where the chapter ended... it was the next page. I slammed the book on the table in class and looked at my peers in disgust.
In recent news:
(see that, without any cohesion, the audience thinks "wow, you need a little help there don't you, you cant just jump from one topic to the next without some intermediary, something in the middle to mesh the two topics together)
Anna Nicole Smith dies at 39. Suicide? Overdose? Or was she really just ill???
Thats what the media is focusing on, not the 6 US helicopters shot down in Iraq over the last two weeks. I know CNN looked at this issue last week, but more have been shot down since then?
Also, the US has lost 12 Billion Dollars, that B-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars in cash in Iraq. How do you do that? The report from the oversight committee said it was like 36 tons of money. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? Why wasnt this money wired?

Some professors do not know what they are doing, and well I guess that is life.
