"Sounds like the typical liberal professor who got his/her job through affirmitive action and does not have the intellecutal capacity to teach the class in the first place."

<p>lol no definitely not true. she's a really smart prof, has her PhD and everything but her teaching methods are just awful. She doesn't cover the material in class well at all. Half the time she tries to come up with "real life" situations that occurred in her life in order to make the material easier to understand. That may work for one or two things, but she wastes so much time doing that and boring us to death that none of the material is covered sufficiently. I wouldn't mind but the problem is that the book and all its problems are too different to truly use as study material. If someone was to read the chapters in the book and do the practice problems, no doubt about it you would fail the test miserably.</p>

Isn't Clinical Psych. RXP currently available in only a handful of states?

<p>Yes... 2 at the moment -- New Mexico & Louisiana, plus Guam (theoretically, although because of the way healthcare laws are written there, it's basically meaningless) and the military. 12 other states (incl. California, Illinios, Missouri & Hawaii) have legislation being passed between the senate and house. 'Though as far as I'm concerned, I won't even be eligible to prescribe for another 8-12 yrs anyway (Ph.D.-- 5-7 yrs, Licensure -- 1-2 yrs, Post-doc MA -- 2-3 yrs) -- about the same amount of time it takes to be licensed as a psychiatrist (8 yrs for regular psychiatry or 10 yrs for child psychiatry) -- so legislation has plenty of time to pass for me!</p>

<p>Hmm...well, most profs are, for better or for worse, hired more for their research than their teaching ability. I'm sorry this one isn't working out for you though!</p>
<p>I usually get very little, depends on the class though. In second semester calculus I got a 49/100 and was terrified until I saw the class average was a 39. A guy still got a 100, but the test was nearly impossible to finish on time. I actually prefer these kinds of tests though because if a test is really easy I know i'll end up making some arithmetic mistake to lose some points. Though I know if the test is all about concepts I can't do bad because that is what I mainly focus on. The scrubbs who memorize the book and don't understand what is going on get rocked. Math professors often do stuff like a picture of the field.</p>
