It really pissed me off the other day when one of my professors just quickly scrubbed through a video editing assignment before marking it. I got a good mark, but that's not the point.
It took each student days to finish the editing for each project, and he lost a bunch of the assignments. He claimed some of us didn't hand it in, but everything is handed in electronically, into his drive. There is a time stamp. I found my file on his drive (he invited me to look at his computer) within seconds, and he literally scrubbed the video in about 5 seconds and then said he was done marking it.
*sigh*
- Was he looking for specific things like transitions or something?locustsloth
- He wanted us to pick a song that meant something to us, and do whatever editing we wanted to it. He didn't even listenjuhls
- to the song. Just the video while at his desk before class started.juhls
- Basically a music video. Before assigning it to us, he told us about a song that prevented him from committing suicide multiplejuhls
- times, and that we should choose a song that meant a lot to us. So I find it interesting that he brushed the assignment off.juhls
- maybe too painful to watch other's meaningful stuff? In which case he should have framed the assignment differentlylocustsloth
- No, I really don't think he cares. He's very lazy when it comes to marking assignments, in general.juhls
- Other students have complained about his laziness, so maybe that message got relayed to him.juhls
- I'd have picked High on Fire's "Dopesmoker" just to make him search through 60 minutes of material before grading.blaw
- And, seriously, a big ol' bird to the guy for basically showing the project as busy-work. Sucks, J.blaw
