A Professional Development Joke

Post Type: Short Excerpt

This really is a short excerpt.

For those of you who did the undergraduate co-op program at the University of Waterloo which we all had to take those useless PD courses.

I must say, my TA is very kind.

I realized my interesting word choice on my assignment (the s**t, the f**k etc etc.) to sound very professional and I got an email today.


Good Afternoon Tappy, 

I have marked your unit 3 assignment.  Although you received marks for the content of your responses, some of your points did not carry a professional tone.  PD8 is a University level professional development course and all responses should be written accordingly.  In the future, please refrain from using unprofessional language in your assignments. If you have any comments about the course content or the course itself, feel free to email pd8@uwaterloo.ca and we will take your remarks into consideration. 

Totally made my day :) And I'm not being sarcastic.

I guess the point of this post is Waterloo's PD courses are a joke.

And PD staff are pretty nice for most part, despite delinquent, immature students like I.

I should probably grow up.
