I took this class to satisfy my general ed. requirements. I wasn't too worried about it, being a 100 level course, but Dr. Pinnick treated it like Philosophy was everyone's major. The first day of the class, she told the class that she was not and would not be thier friend. She made so many references to the study of philosophy being related to lawyers and politicians and acted like everyone in the class even cared. She gave an overload of notes of which the concepts were not that difficult. Then, she randomly and abruptly called on me to answer a question that was not even relevant to that day's topic. When I did not give her the quick response she wanted, she rolled her eyes and asked if anyone else knew the answer. All this might sound insignificant, but the truth is that Pinnick does all of this with a haughty nature. She does not know hardly any of the students in the classes, treats them like they are stupid, small, unimportant dogs, and does not even sound like she knows what she is talking about. I hope that she reads this and realizes that all of these frowning faces are completely unnessesary. I realize that she won't get along with every student, but I am an A student who typically respects my professors when they make me feel interested in the subject I am taking and that they are interested in me. I took a three week class that she cut short a whole week. Then she expected us to write an essay by the second day. I withdrew from the class, being that it was unreasonable, and expected to get my money back from her $40.00 book that she poorly wrote/copied from Aristotle...etc...After having to deal with the dean of the department, I finally got my money back. I thought it very ironic that the self-proclaimed grammatically correct Pinnick, spelled my name and address wrong on the envelope.
