In "material science" we have a terrible teacher. We have no books and a disorderly bunch of pdf files (of which 85% is not in our study material). From the beginning of the semester he's been basically just talking. Not letting us exercise. I complained about him for not giving us proper exercise material (a lot of students agree with me about him) and he eventally, yesterday, sent me an email with 2 pages of 13 questions in trivia form. To get the answers to these questions, I picked a book from the library, and all I have to do is just a hide-and-seek game, to see what they're asking and find the right paragraph. It's kinda pathetic, I feel, but okay. The test will apparently also be in trivia form.
I'm now not sure what to do.
On the one hand I don't want to get a bad grade by ignoring it. Another reason why I don't want to ignore it is that I actually want to KNOW this stuff. On the other hand, not ignoring it seems to get me to a point where I don't know what's useful to study. The teacher is completely useless and keeps telling us not to worry. I've heard many teachers say "not to worry" and during tests they **** us up!
The test will be with open material.
Does anyone have any advice for me? Should I complain to do the dean? (I was pondering that)... Or just hoist with me all the books and notes I need during test?
