Today, in my architecture class, my professor's lecture consisted of a list of movies and books which feature characters who are architects. I couldn't leave because I needed the attendance points, and it lasted 45 minutes. I paid out of state tuition for this. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my professor spent the entire class showing us how to make paper airplanes. I pay over 40 grand a year for college. FML
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. FML
Today, I had to go meet my professor at 12. I wound up showing up almost an hour late. Why? Because she doesn't teach at the campus I registered at. I wound up having to visit TWO different campuses before I reached the right one. FML
Today, my professor let a guy into my philosophy class 30 minutes late because his excuse was, "Time is just an illusion." This is the same professor that kicked me out of the classroom for being 2 minutes late. FML
Today, after attending lectures for months, studying for weeks, and spending hours writing a 15-page research paper, I was informed that due to technological issues during registration, I was not enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to get to a class, just to have the professor leave a note on the classroom door saying that she wasn't coming. FML
Today, I found out that I have to take a weekly workshop outside of class time all semester, and it's only offered on the day I have the most work hours. I barely make ends meet as it is, but the professor said to figure it out or fail. FML
Today, we watched a movie in class. Afterwards, the professor asked us what we thought. I raised my hand and said it was pretentious, dull and a really poor example of filmmaking. It was the movie HE spent five years writing and directing. FML
Today, I finally found out why I got a D in a class last semester. It was a heavily attendance-based class, and apparently he only marked you present if you participated in class discussion. It was a 100-seat lecture. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Inception really challenges the mind, so you're probably getting your money's worth after all.

Does "The Architect" in The Matrix count? He built a whole world.

Nope, she's done that. She's doing one on World Of Warcraft now.

Why are you even complaining? MOVIES ARE THE FUTURE.

I wouldn't want to pay thousands of dollars for something I can just google. Eh, who knows I'm going to college next year.

I had a professor who did something similar to that, but he put the lists up at the beginning and end of each class. He said that being able to watch/read about people in the role was helpful to some. A entire class of it would be awfully dull, though.

Reminds me of my history teacher somewhat. One of the questions on our last test was " what did Roosevelt teach his parrot to say? "

How is that the same situation at all?

Did the teacher have any point to it -- say, to talk about what the general public thinks architechts do, and why? I can't really imagine even anything like that stretching out to a full class's lecture. Regardless; if wasting class time is part of a pattern for that teacher, I'd definitely report him/her; if you're not sure where/how to do so, start by asking your academic advisor. Good luck, OP!
