Humanities Feedback!

Hey,
First blog here and lets open with a rant!
Rabbi here, this blog has started getting no attention :( .. sorry about that but its just what this place does man, work gets in the way but today we all had a chance to strike back! Humanities course feedback! The whole batch just gave back to the prof all the stuff he's been throwing at us..
Here's my feedback:

When we think about the word 'Humanities', we generally think of something like social, cultural, psychological studies etc. Instead, in this course, we are treated to absolute random nonsense uttered out by a professor who browses an online dictionary for 'difficult words' and strings them together without care for a certain concept called grammar or even comprehension! Often, he believes, that rules are just place holders and can be bent sometimes i.e. His own creations enter his slides (read as brand new words which he hopes will soon be incorporated into the Oxford Dictionary; but till then, even google is stumped when asked to find their meanings!)
After he puts together his 'material', he will put together arbitrary concepts which all together sum up to a huge lullaby (95& of the present class WILL sleep without fail).IMHO, a professor's worth can be judged by how few students sleep in his/her class. Case in point, RnB.
Now that you know the general consensus of the entire batch regarding this course and prof, lets push towards some details:
-Topics covered are only philosophical or thought of a particular person. If we wanted to go through that, we would have taken a course on 'History of Thought'.
-We are going to be judged (through assignments) on the quality of our photoshop/gimp skills as they are a test of our poster making abilities?!?
-Why are absolutely unnecessary extra classes taken? i mean who takes an extra class due to missing a previous class as EXAMS were in course?!
-Do take a look at his slides (outlay, colour scheme, etc) and then send their creator to a design and usability course asafp!

Thats all folks!

See you soon again!
