this fucking course is such bullshit the damn online test thing just tested me for an entirely different topic (that i was unable to access), nitpicked my wording for no reason (i entered "safety/cut resistant gloves". the 'correct' answer? "gloves". ffs.), and marked me as wrong on one question bc whoever built the shitty 3d section of the test made the mistake THAT THE TEST IS SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING US NOT TO MAKE. IN A 3D MODEL NOT EVEN A REAL BUILDING CHRIST ON A STICK. the human instructor is fucking amazing but this new online-based curriculum is shitty and half-assed as fuck.

#i am minorly disappointed i didn't do this before this year but SUPER glad i didn't leave it any later #the impression i get is that they're trying to semi-automate the course to be Hip and With It and also cut back on staffing costs maybe #but the people doing it don't have any fucking clue what they're doing when it comes to computer systems #so half of it's broken and they're like outsourcing a bunch of it to fucking youtube instructables i wish i was joking here #and you have to enroll in each topic individually but some topics reference others so if you have one but not the other you're fucked #and you can't just enroll in all of them the instructor has to open enrolment individually & give you the password for that window #this is a trade we're studying for btw it's hands on stuff that should be taught by humans who you can ask questions #and i'm super lucky that my instructor is actually good at his job but oh my god #the secondhand shame in this man's eyes every time something stupid breaks on the website. heartbreaking.
