I just thought it was amusing, I guess. Three hours of lectures a week, theoretically about marine mammals, but I would say... 80% of the course content is about ideology, and "saving the planet"...
This is core. Can't avoid it. But it is insane to me that the Head of School, the person who supervises most of my courses, is so ideologically compromised that she essentially runs (STEM) courses like this as her personal ideological crusade...
Mid-30s woman, here. Looks exactly like you would expect. And she calls herself "old", in class, because of course she does...
That doesn't exactly reflect well on the University, I would have thought.
But anyway, I'm just there to get through this thing, and get my piece of paper, but it's still... Disappointing, I guess, that this is the quality of education I am dealing with.
Reminds me of a science class I took a few years back. My two favorite bits I remember were "Global warming is real and there is no debate" and the absolute batshit rants she would go on about stuff that was clearly not real.
My favorite was "Human cloning is real, and they are doing it at neighboring university", like wouldn't that be world news if that was true? Like how are you a professor of science? It was mind boggling she was saying this shit to 18 year olds.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what this was like…
“Whales are the marine equivalent of humans”. That was a goody, lol…
