techrecoveryIt's too bad that I am a student in your class and know more about how to operate that computer than you do.
1) When you give instructions for how to install the JDK, it helps if you include correct instructions for how to add the bin to your PATH. People are going to come bitching to you later when their compiler doesn't work with the instructions you gave them because you used paths from a version at least two semesters ago.
2) Yes, you can resize the font in a command window. You being pissed because it's coming from me only embarrasses you further.
3) Students are getting frustrated at your lack of knowledge of how to use the operating system. Being Java, I can make this work on Windows, Mac, or the Linux flavor of your choice. If you can't... I'm not the reason they're dropping. Some of it has to do with the fact they can't type off a sheet of paper and open a command prompt themselves.
4) Cutting me off half the time I try to get a word in edgewise because you're concerned I can't hack it in this class because I didn't take pre-Calculus at this school... WRONG. MOOOOVE. The department chair seems to think I'll do just fine and knows I have no place in a class that's going to teach me how to use DOS and Windows unless it's to teach it.
Maybe the real issue is that you're pissed that I want out of IT and you're stuck teaching morons who have about as much computer knowledge as our typical lusers. Yeah. They're that bad and they're thinking of going into this field. I'm not a coder. Never will be. I'm interested in learning some Java. But I will not gladly suffer fools - not even you.
