So we just bend over… right?

Today, the professor was reiterating how our assignment was due in the middle of finals. I openly told him we have other finals and we have other things to do too. The professor replied and said, “Would you rather have it due earlier?” I told him that is not what I am suggesting, and I was just saying this because his homeworks take a lot of time especially when his notes are not exactly helpful to the point where I do not have to do hours and hours of Googling suggest to finish an assignment. Some of my peers do not even complete their homework because of this! And the part-time professor wonders why some people do not complete their homework. I justed wanted him to consider being in our shoes. But, it does not bother me that he responded this way, it was as expected, but some student goes ahead and say “Welcome to college”. For fuck sakes, I am trying to improve our experience and this guy wants to be a douche. What? Are you saying, in college, we have to always bend over to the professors demands? I am saying, it does not have to be that way and it can be better. Education is a two way street, afterall.
