    Is anyone else taking this joke of a class?

    Just wondering what your opinions are on this course......it is the worst course ever conceived IMO.... And the head instructors suck balls....


    For anyone thinking of taking this course......DONT!

    but how about those ppl who is already in this class?

    I agree, it is a totally useless course, but I guess the only good things about this course, is that there is no final and midterm.....

    Apparently they will be testing students on the course material for next semester. This stems from the fact that only about 20 people attend each lecture. What a useless course......

    I mean....how many times can you hear the words "rhetoric, rhetorical, analysis, logos, ehtos, and pathos" before you want to stab yourself in the eye with a sharp object?? n:

    I am just doing this lab 7 and it is pissing me off.....

    i thought smith was the only person teaching it this time around.
    when i took it last year, there was an option of taking it with 2-3 teachers.. smith is by far the worst prof i have ever had teach a course.
    the course load was ridiculous for a 300-level course and she was a heartless machine.

    it's a mandatory class for all engineers and management students now (it replaces SGMA301) for those of u who didn't know

    and i think having the midterm/final idea will just make even more people pissed off at this course

    Tania Smith is a heartless bitch IMO. She has a grade quota of a C. WTF is that shit? Even if everyone does top quality work some is still going to fail because of her shallow ass. The work load is out of this world for this course. I have spent a total of about 50 hours on her "50 Minute" lab assignments. And they are not even being graded.

    It is because of people like her that the UofC gets shitty student reviews. I swear there is going to be a riot when the final grades are given out.

    doesn't matter; it's a standardized course now and everything is under the nazi control of [Agent] Smith the Machine Queen

    Mckenzie, the harshest thing about this class is that she doesn't care what kind of rating/reputation she gets b/c she's the only "certified" instructor (she has a Ph.D in technical communications! WTH??) in the entire faculty to teach the stupid course

    i think ppl will go sniper crazy after this semester is over...
    had the administration been smart, they would have looked over student opinions prior to allowing her to set the entire curriculum.
    the course load is just horrendous.

    I can't believe how much work she wants us to put in for the group draft essay, which is due on the 13th.........whatever she wants was totally useless in our field....what a waste of my tuition money

    she sorta reminds me of the soup nazi in seinfield

    the big thing is that she doesn't realize that most of the ppl she's teaching - engineers and managers - only need to UNDERSTAND what technical communications is and learn how to do a memo and maybe at most a proposal... but she just rambles on and on and makes people do stupid assignments are won't even be used later on in life. :P

    I thought the most useful one was the anootated bibliography.

    Right...... when I am out in the workforce I want to have flashbacks of this wonderful project because it is so useful....


    Are you in this class Thich? OR did you take it last year?

    I have to get going on this stupid draft.....

    I guess this is SGMA 301s replacement for this year. I heard that 301 was a pretty easy A if you put a good effort into the course.

    This is a joke though and I am just going to blast her on the stupid review.

    Lucky for you that you didn't get Doug Hare. I had him for both engg215 and coms363. Those courses were exactly the same - every single assignment was identical which was good because it was the course with the highest workload.

    I feel sorry for anyone who has to take that course. What a waste of $500.
