Today is Tuesday, not Thursday. I am sitting in this shitty classroom trying to listen to my shitty professor explain regression. Gawd he is a horrible teacher.
Dear the University of Memphis, the Fogelman College of Business, Rajiv Grover, Dhaliwal, and other people who don't care,
I want to know how you let Dr. Mohammad Amini teach a doctoral level class or any class. Have you not looked at his previous teacher evaluations? Hell, I found them, but I still can't figure out what that shit means. Why can't you let student view student opinions? It would embarrass the hell out of the professor. I would like to complain that he is an ineffective teacher. At the moment, he cannot manage one class. The reason I say that is we (ISDS 8530 - Fall 09) had to take an extra TWO days of class in order for him to cover the material.
Let me explain. During fall break, he required us to meet and present our presentations because he could not manage his time. This happened again during Thanksgiving break where he required us to meet on Tuesday because Thursday we were out of class.
I believe it is school policy that he cannot require us to have class on a day we are not scheduled to have. Shit, it's the PhD program, there are no rules. Us PhD students have to suffer doing slave labor with shitty pay. Our textbooks are not even paid for.
Mohammad Amini does not give back exams in a reasonable time. At the time of writing, it has been 3 weeks since I have seen the first exam. I am expecting an A in this class from the lack of teacher-student communication. Our classroom is a piece of shit. It is always freezing. Also, there are not enough outlets for me or any of my classmates to plug in my laptop for a shitty 3-hour class.
I am seriously ready to load the guns and send this shit off. The Internet is the worst thing ever because people are searching for terms such as "Mohammad Amin", "University of Memphis", "phd" and they land on this blog. Please read this: the PhD program at the University of Memphis is a piece of shit and a joke!
Seriously, I am sitting here instead of home on a fucking Tuesday. This class ruins peoples' lives. There are 13 people in here who are more miserable and confused as I am (THANK YOU DR. BABAKUS, YOU'RE AN AWESOME TEACHER!).
Gawd. Amini is going over numbers in the presentation. Guess what? They're sized to the powerpoint so the numbers are
TINY and our slides are in PDF form so you can't even read it. Shit, Amini is having a hard time trying to read the shit on the powerpoint.
"I spent time over the years perfecting these powerpoints for you."
Eat shit and die cause that is a lie. Such an embarrassment. This class and program is an embarrassment. Thank god work is paying for this shit and that I have a job.
The only reason I come to class is because somehow attendance counts for this class. who knew?

It's Thursday. I expect to get my test back today. Hell no. He came in saying "alright guys, we have to vote on what we're going to do for the next 3 weeks."
This class is total shit. Amini can't plan this class worth a damn. God, I fucking hate him. If I don't get a B in this class, I am raising hell. Again, this is the reason why I want to become a professor. Get tenure, then start teaching like shit. Speaking of, I haven't posted what this douche makes:
Here's what this douche is proposing:
Have class Tuesday/Wednesday (Thanksgiving week).
Our regular class meeting is on Thursday which is Thanksgiving. What the fuck. It's not my fault that you can't teach / organize / manage which results in me taking another day off from work to "makeup" a class. How the fuck can you not manage this class?!
I would understand if you have other classes to teach! Shit, I just looked up other classes he is teaching this semester. Guess how many he's teaching this semester ? 3? 2? 5? No. asshole is only teaching 1. ONE FUCKING CLASS. How can anyone trust him in managing their "supply chain" when he can't manage to teach one fucking 3-hour class. Total shit.
Exam:
Option 1: Mon 11/30 - Wed 12/2
Option 2: Th 12/3 - Sunday 12/6
Option 3: Wed 11/25 - Mon 11/30
I have no fucking clue why he is moving the test/final exam from the proposed date (12/7-12/11) to this outrageous pile of dog shit. I am guessing he has to meet-up with his pimp in Dubai. Seriously, I am leaning towards option 3. Also, the last test, I had 4 days to do the exam. This time, for some strange reason, it has to be 3 days. TOTALLY UNFAIR!
Oh Oh! I think amini has learned how to use email! The douche said that he would *EMAIL* the test to us on Wednesday (11/25). Wow, what the hell happened on test #1? When he stated that he would email us, I was like "REALLY?!" I guess word spread (like wildfire HA!) that I had posted the damn exam on the net. He's trembling in his sandals!
Wow. Amini said something that I've been preaching for years: "Professors in the business school makes more money than any department across campus. (i had to fix the grammar) (Amini 2009)." He chuckled. Such a fucking EGO!
He kept this up throughout the class since we're talking about salary between business, fine arts, and science. Yes, it's a lecture involving regression with dummy predictor variables.
Btw, since I am trippin this morning - it is fucking cold in this room. Hell, I think it's warmer outside than in this shitty classroom. It's like 60 in here while it's fucking 70 outside. I had to go to a teacher's office to pick up a heater cause it was too damn cold.
3 fucking weeks to go. Hell, i didn't have to makeup another class, I would have 2 weeks to go. Total shit.

It's still the Dark Ages in Amini's class. I'm surprised that the classroom actually have lights and electricity. How can I describe my classroom? It's a pale-grey room with 1 2x10 glass window. Shit the window is hidden behind a wall and you can't even tell it's there. Depressing right? I'm surprised that the room isn't decorated with candles and that we're using a quill and ink to take notes (I prefer doodling pikachus).
So here's the 411 on the midterm: it's take home exam. We all know if a take home exam is given, it's fucking hard - porn star hard. Factor in my instructor can't teach and that we haven't gone over the homework, we all are going to fail. Where should I start? I can tell you that this will be a memorable post. Granted, I should've posted this yesterday, but I was fucking tired.
Let's talk about the test. Better yet, how it was dispersed. Amini instructed us to come to campus, receive our test, and go home. Why waste almost 2 gallons of gas to go to campus for 30 mins, pick up the exam, and go back to work. Why not email it or administrate it online so EVERYONE can get it whenever they feel like it and not waste time or gas. I rather save 4 dollars on gas and 2 hours of my time. The reasons Amini gave was total dog shit. Here's a list I jotted down during class:
1) I don't want people to have the test (future cheating).
2) I want you to sign the contract.
3) I want to make sure that everyone gets it.
4) If you're in the PhD program, you have to be committed.
5) I (amini) won't be there.
Yes, #5 he won't be there because he will be "out of town." What kind of dope are you smoking? Wait, let me reiterate
Associate Director, FedEx Center for Supply Chain Mgmt
Director, Enterprise Simulation & Optimization Lab (eSOL)
Professor Department of Marketing & Supply Chain Management
Okay, so your topic is "supply chain mgmt" and "optimization." Why the fuck can't you use blackboard/elearn/university's bulletin board system?! I bet you don't know how! Your approach is to save resources ie my god damn time and money(#4).
Actually, from what I learned during class is that he doesn't really know how to use a computer. I hate teachers that don't know how to use technology. Technology is supposed to benefit my life so I don't have to drive through traffic, find a god damn parking space, and walk my ass to class. Hell, if you post it online, you can actually see when people download it and say "HEY DUMBASS STUDENT, YOU SHOULD'VE DOWNLOADED IT EARLIER. I CAN SEE WHEN YOU HAD LOGGED IN AND DOWNLOADED THE EXAM." (#3)
My sister lives on campus so I made some deal with her to get the test at 9AM. Let me tell you, she was pissed as hell going there. She lives in the middle of campus and the b-school is way on the other side. Yup - total shit. Anyways, she picked up the exam and read it and was like "WTF is this mess? Why is there a watermark on the page?"
Even she agrees that this (test/class) is pure dog shit. Let's talk about #1.
There! It's all online! I scanned it and uploaded it to the net. If I had cared more, I would've typed that shit out and made it fucking searchable for users. I love the footer of each page "Exam I Copying, Reproducing, and Distribution of the Contents of this Exam is Prohibited." I feel like that sentence is grammatically incorrect. Oh, here's something about each test. My name is watermarked! Actually, it's not watermarked but inked-marked like a watermark. I have no fucking clue why the hell he did that. Shit, what i did to bypass that was to make a copy of the paper, then make a copy of that paper. The watermark was gone after the 3rd round. What a fucking douche. I still don't know why he's so afraid of people having the exam. The only way you could complete it if you had the dataset files (i'll upload that later).
#2 - I want you to sign the contract.
I turned in the stupid test, but didn't sign it. There isn't a clause in that dogshit test that says "by accepting this exam, you agree to my shitty rules." Ha! Freedom of the press or whatever. AMERICA - FUCK YEAH!
6 pages of shit. I swear my teacher has no sense of time except arriving to class and torturing us. If you look at the exam, it looks easy. The data in the datafiles look good/correct. I had estimated it would take me a day or so to complete the entire test and wouldn't worry about it being due monday.
I guessed wrong. Man, was I fucking wrong about this test. This exam should take a person at least 7 days to complete.
Amini said in class "if you have done the homework and redo the problems we've done in class, you should be fine in taking this exam."
BULL-FUCKING-SHIT. Let me explain, the homework problems are really easy. The book says "if this value is this, you don't have to do this." It takes the good route. Well for Amini's test it's basically "if you have this value, then you HAVE to do this. Good luck sucker!" It took me 40 hours to do complete it. Even I questioned if my answers were reasonable. It was fucking crazy. I started working on it mid-day Friday till 7, all of Saturday (2 to 2 AM), Sunday evening. I stayed all night at the office on sunday. I finished the bastard at 9 AM monday morning. Total dog shit. I was in such a shitty mood. I had 47 pages of pure lolness dog shit. I wanted to sprinkle my test with anthrax and just hand it in, hoping that he'll croak over while reading my paper on the john. He also wanted a copy of everything I used. I had to go to Office Depot and buy a pack of CDs just for this shitty class. I burned the shit on the CD and headed to school. I dropped the shit off at his office and said "you know, what you said in class wasn't true. I did the homework and it was still incredibly hard." He told me he designed the test like that because in real-life, you won't have data that will be correct. and I told him, "well, you should've taught us that in class. instead of moving from powerpoint to powerpoint." Yup, such a shitty teacher. I hope I get a B on the midterm, anything less, I'm raising hell again like I did with Wilkes (FU btw, hope you died choking on your wife's cock).
Oh, he gave me a hard time about not binding my test or putting it in something "presentable." WTF, it's not even on the 1st page. I told him "it didn't say that on the exam." He pointed to a stack of papers of my peers and I said "well, do you have an envelope?" He got a used one, and handed it to me. Andrew came in afternoon and broke that silence. He said he finished it in two days. Man, I want to compare my shit to his and see what it is all about.
I'll find out Thursday on what I made.
How can a 6-page, 4 problem midterm exam result in 47 pages of utter dogshit?
