Teachers at our art academy were given the feedback to be more critical. And oof they were brutal today, it was just downright mean.
We had to present our work and ask three questions about it. Me, who has pretty diverse work but not really any questions for it wasn't really fond of the assignment, but I did it anyways.
Now I'm not good at presenting myself, let alone over Zoom! So I had a bit of of trouble wording myself, but this guest teacher sat here constantly interrupting me and not letting me finish which was rude and annoying!
We all had questions prepared, but none of our questions were really contextual, mine included. I was trying to think of new questions, but the teacher was constantly interrupting and talking through me.
I was asking for tips on how to improve my presentation and explaining how I'm not much of a talker, but didn't get any further help.
At one point she blatantly said she's probably being harder on me because I was the only guy in the group.
Just taking any of this with a grain of salt, she had some good points too, I admit, but the way she didn't let me finish a single sentence just pissed me off. I'm just happy I didn't get angry because I was feeling a combination of uncomfortable and annoyed.
Sometimes I'm really questioning my study decisions. Online class definitely isn't helping.
This is the second time a teacher gave me a hard time for my "personality"
Last time, I randomly thought of something funny as my thoughts are always all over the place which can be distracting. Anyways, I started smirking and this teacher asked what was so funny and I tried explaining to her that I am "very busy in my head" as I didn't know the exact English translation, and she told me to be "busy with her class"
C'mon bruh, we're at a bachelor's degree and I'm trying my best to be a normal functioning adult despite my flaws why are these teachers so aggressive man smh
