We have no calendar with quizes or assignment due dates. So far, all we've done is group work and this is a writing class. We get into these small groups and sort of merge our work together (on paper, no access to a computer in class) so it's a jumbled mess. We don't hand anything in, just talk about it in class.
I've taken many writing classes and none were like this is. Even the college I attended that was pass/fail (loved it, wish they taught what I'm taking now) made it clear how we were going to demonstrate our understanding of the material and what written assignments were expected.
I know I'm obsessive and like things all laid out neatly, but this is really bugging me. I talked to some other people in class and they are either like me, confused, or think that he's just slowly getting us up to speed in writing. Though if that's true, shouldn't we know what it is we will be writing for grading?
I'm into my full blown got to get an A in this class and how can I get an A if I don't know what it takes to get one? Argh. I don't think the instructor has taught before because he should know that we need some guidelines. Or at least I do.
At least I'm getting a solid A in my other class, where I know when quizes are and what assignments are due.
