So, in an effort to not do my homework today, I walked over four and a half kilometers. It took me about three hours because I window shopped (and shop-shopped, I needed batteries and it turned out that teeny store was way bigger and had more stuff that I wanted than I thought it would. Also, there were chicken buns, but that was a different store); but that's still a significant amount of walking!
I really, really didn't want to do my homework. I may actually have to turn off my brain to avoid this class destroying my interest in copyright, because this class is effing awful.
The professor doesn't provide ANY visual aids what so ever; and while he put his lecture notes up for download when I asked about it, it doesn't look like he's doing that in advance for this next seven hour lecture. Which is going to suck, because last week I was taking notes on "the Baron Convention" for an hour before I realized that he was actually saying "Berne Convention". He even said that "not liking PowerPoint" was a "failing" on his part, but I guess it's not enough of a failing for him to get over so that he can actually pass on information to us. And our assignments are basically "write 1500 words to explain to the Canadian government why eLending is a good idea" and "write up to 3000 words summarizing this 60+ page discussion so that a layperson could understand the important points". I know it's a one-credit class and all, but this is graduate school, and we're taking this class because we're interested in copyright. Hell, I was taking this class because I was thinking about maybe focusing my career path on Doing Shit With Copyright.
The school emailed me to request I fill out a survey to review the class. It's due on the 9th, I've just been putting it off in the hopes that our second class is better than the first. I'm an optimist that way. But not an optimist in the way that I actually think it will be.
Blergh. I was really excited about this class, too.
