I'm honestly kind of pissed to the point of considering dropping out of school.

But think of all the personal help the teacher will be able to give you! It's almost like you hired a private tutor to teach you to program!

  • It's supposed to be a team project
  • I was Informed that the class was designed for teams the size of 10+
  • The only person on my team is someone who had to retake various classes 4+ times.
  • Given the school's culture, I'm already going to be the defecto tutor for this individual.

So what you're saying is that the average game developer has the workethic of a lazy college student who refuses to come into work and that it's expected that I actually do their job for them?

No.

Thats what AI is for.

Also my website design course has seen like 2/3 of its membership drop out over this first half too. That statistic should include me at this point when even basic programming logic like make a simple version of Wordle is completely beyond me, but for some reason I have yet to do so.

And I cant call back on the web design element either, since Im still struggling with CSS functions that I should have memorized and mastered two months ago. This is why parents need to drop this damaging propaganda you can do anything you want to. Completely disproven right here.

Usually a class requires a minimum number of enrollment.

I would think so, but I'm looking at the roster and it's just me the prof and another dude in the class.

I already tried taking it last semester and ended up dropping for a few reasons, one of the big ones was that it was 5 people (including me). apparently that was "unusual" for it to be that small, and yet here we are.

TBH, I was being pissy. I feel like I know exactly what's going on. All the in person students are choosing to be online, selfishly fucking over individuals who worked their ass off to have the same opportunity.

I can't do online class, I fall apart. I've hated just about every online class I've had, and I've seen the level of harm the remote office thing does to communication, and game development is almost entirely communication at this point.

I've outright hurt my family and put myself into an absurd amount of debt to be here, this is stupid.
