Bangs head against the wall

I want to strangle my teacher right now. He expects us to get a ridiculously large amount of reading done in a rather small amount of time. Now mind you I am not one who typically complains about how much reading I have to due and usually I get annoyed listening to other people whine about getting the reading done. I know that is usually the way of things and I am use to it

I had my reading all perfectly planned out where I could get it done in a timely manner, in moderately reasonable portions. So I would not have to cram huge chunks of it all at once and give myself a headache and end up having to re-read the same sentence like 5 times because I stop paying attention.

But the teacher never follows his own bloody schedule. It is an online class, but it is suppose to go from Wednesday to Wednesday, and yet the teacher does whatever the heck he wants and does not do things according to his own syllabus, and just makes up when he decides something has to be done as he goes along.

So the reading that I had been lead to believe would not be due until next Wednesday he suddenly decided would be due this Saturday. And he just decided to tell us that it would be due this Saturday tonight.

And now he claims that from now on the readings will be due from Saturday to Saturday, but we will how long that lasts before he decides to do something completely different.

    my teacher in reading is actually like that, he never stop mentioning the due dates of our reading projects and reportings ..imagine he want us to finish all of those in just a 4 days?
    and to think, I have 7 subject loads this semester. How can I do that on time?
    the good thing is, he's on leave for two months..i will miss him

    Don't you hate teachers like that? Thank God I'm out of school. I wonder if there is a way for the class to get together and complain, first to him and then to the department head.

    Yes, and he talks about on the syllabas how on online courses students need to be self-disciplined. I think he is the one that needs self-discipline.
