Wonderful Oppertunity Ruined

How exactly does one describe this education class this semester besides a lack of organizing. The Center of Pedagogy has left many tasks for Dr. G to be done by herself with no help at all. How can you expect a teacher who has over 100 students to make sure that every single one of them gets placed in a school. Now since the COP did not want to follow the class closely enough many students like myself have a major paper to write in the next week without ever have observing a class which we should have done a long time ago. It seems like a major let down for this class because Dr.G has done everything she should have, educate her students about he problems and issues in urban education while making a subject which sometimes may be dry, be so interesting I find myself pondering topics in class on my own time. As this point of the semester I am extremely stressed along with most of my classmates for a project that should have been mostly thought provoking material into a project with so many loose ends that still need to be tied.

As far as observing I was going to go to the Arts HS today with one of my fellow classmates but unfortunately forgot i had to work all day so was unable to go there. So now I tackle this question, when does the center of pedagogy want m,e to observe? after the project is already to be handed in? Now i am having my grade affected by something that was almost entirely out of my hands. I had an issues with my teacher because i had sent her a very professional email and received one back saying "I think you have the wrong person." Terrific! This is a perfect example of how communication is key in education. Obviously when it came to this class there was very little communication being done, or many counts of miscommunication.
